100% of what you see in D&D Gygax lifted directly off other things

So American game unfun,

Sounds like someone never played nier

10 years ago maybe, nowadays it's;

>average men and crossdressers
>talking about trannies and the implications of that nasty government or something and past trauma

>japanese game
>feminine teenage boys and busty ara ara mifls
>talking about friendship and everyone keeps repeating the same thing and that one cute girl wants the self-insert MC's dick but he's comically socially inept and doesn't realise it at all

>yeah but what about this one game?
>i proved you wrong XD

to be honest, why would you

Someone edit the drawn on eyebrows off the dog.

>mage
Generic catch-all term
>sorcerer
Hedge mage type. Relies on natural talent with magic. Doesn't know a lot of spells, but knows how to use a few very well. Likely has some additional combat prowess or experience.
>wizard
Hogwarts type. Studies for years and years. Knows a lot of spells and has a wide knowledgebase. Has the resources to learn anything he might not already know.

The ones actually created by the dungeons and dragons manual can't actually have their names reused (see the Beholder for the most famous case since it got used without authorization for a while before pushback came).

Most of them are based on myths which is why you see their names reused everywhere. That said, reimaging many of those monsters into physical races, rather than unique entities or spirits, was often done by D&D and then just copied everywhere else. Same goes for fairly common magic users everywhere in fantasy when in myths and pre-D&D literature they were always fairly rare, not really "class" on the level of a sword fighter.

Well you where implying how all Japanese games are like that so I only had to pick one game like that to prove you wrong. Also shadow hearts and shadow hearts 2 are other games.

A magus is a light user of magic, your spellswords, your clerics, people who use a touch of magic but do not specialize in it specifically

A sorcerer is someone who was born with magic, as a result they know less spells than a learned wizard but the combat magics of a sorcerer are unrivaled.

A wizard is someone who studies magic and while not as strong as a sorcerer in terms of raw firepower, the sheer number of spells a wizard has learned makes it a versatile and useful utility caster

>one makes pacts to use magic
Then isn't that a Warlock or something?

Blue Mage is better because you get to use abilities from enemies.

seething

>Black mage specializes in destructive magic
What did he mean by this?

I want to feed that bunny.

99% of D&D is copyright infringement of pop and folk culture.

So you can’t put a beholder in your game and call it a beholder without giving WotC their royalties? That’s fuckkng gay

The reason for this is because Japanese only have one word for mage, but it means different things in different contexts and can be written differently.

So blame translators who translate the word literally every time when they could use different English words to describe the different concepts more accurately.

A famous example is Final Fantasy VI where Magitek and magic use the same Japanese word, with implied difference between "magic" as a thing that is studied and "magic" as like a wizard in a medieval setting would use, so the term Magitek was made up to set them apart. Also one fan translation used the words magic and magick, but that was a bad choice because it was just confusing.
