FYI, the '80s live again ... on Youtube.

They've got the first three episodes (out of eight total). My kids were entranced and compared it to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I'm apologising in advance for posting to the great internet time sink TV Tropes. With that said what would you call a combination of a warrior type and any of these mage/wizard types. Just don't say cleric for the white mages. This is just for dual-classing hybrid names.

White Mage

Black Mage

Red Mage
Necromancer
Master of Illusion

By the way, I like war wizard as a general term for fighter/magic-user hybrids.

mar (short for martial) + mage (magic-user) = Marmage
or
mar (short for martial) + zard (wizard shortened) = Marzard

So they could be referred to as Marmages or Marzards.

Just a suggestion ;)

Those three could work.


I'm sure the first two are Paizo and WotC intellectual property, respectively, so I recommend just using them...privately. ;)


Eldritch Knight, maybe... But not Magus. Magus, or Magi, are really old terms for magician. Although, I have issue with their copyright clams for some of monsters, namely the Cambion.

You're right Malcadon. Eldritch knight will be at the top, however many, terms for wizard warrior hybrids. I also have an interesting take on what it means to be a warlock.
