It recently dawned on me that a Warlock is actually a male Witch from my past knowledge of witchcraft. Why wouldn’t we incorporate that into some future patch and modify the class slightly to reflect gender.
I would love to see female Witches and males versions stay as Warlocks but become a hybrid. It would spice things up maybe
Females have boobies… You now know how to differentiate them. You’re welcome.
“Warlock” being a gendered term and counterpart to “Witch” is a very modern linguistic construction. Not one universally adopted, either. I definitely wouldn’t introduce any game mechanics based on the idea, especially ones that put play differences behind gender choices. That’s just a bad path to go down.
Yeah warlock being a male witch is pretty new and i think even then fairly exclusive to Neo-Celtic pagan religions like Wicca
Why would it be bad? I think more options is what were seeing across the game for a while now. Like Dark iron dwarves or other races being added. There really isn’t much risk to the game, it would only add to the dimensions of it imho.
Because if there are mechanical differences then one of the two options will sim as higher performance. And then you’ve got a game with hard-coded gender inequality. That’s bad for the players, that’s bad for the headlines it will generate, it’s just not a good idea every way you slice it.
I see you’re point! yeah I didn’t think of that actually.
