Here's a question that's been nagging at me of late, @ChrisPerkinsDnD: Why did you guys call the class "Warlock" instead of "Witch" when witches are the more commonly known and popular name? #DownWithThePatriarchy

The warlock class was created during 3rd edition. I don’t know how it got its name, but we’ve always treated “warlock” as a gender-neutral term. “Witch” has ties to certain real-world faiths. #wotcstaff https://t.co/5HyQJO1OzB
