-----mancer

alright. i have this mod thats coming out (idk when...i need to do some catching up) but anyways, there are two units that have names that could be interchangable.

one is a lightning caster...i used to call him "lightning gnoll" but now i call him "electromancer" (thanks to electromancer on this site for that one)

the other one is a mental spellcasting hero. he makes spells like "hypnotize", sleep" and hallucinate. you know, he messes with the opponents minds. i call him "kobold transcriptionist" (i know it doesnt make much sense, but it sounds good ^^) and i am considering to call him "neuromancer"

so finally, my question:

is that too many "-----mancers" for one race?

which one sounds better and which one could go?

or are both fine...can you either vote or post your opinion. thanks alot. this will help me alot.

Maybe you want to experiment with different things to call magic users, in order to get the variety that you're looking for. Maybe "magus" or just adding "-ist" to the ends of your prefixes will work.
Personally, I think you should make a "canimagus"... that might be bastardized Latin for something like a Dog Mage -- so suitable for Gnolls.

hmm...thats cool. "Canimagus" sounds deep. very creative with the dog mage, but remember that gnolls are not as sophisticated as to use latin. as strange as that may sound, its true. thanks for your help. if all else fails, ill see about using that name (or -ist on the end)

Destramancer ... Summoner of Apololypse

If you're worried about having too many mancers you can always swap Neuromancer for Psionicist, which means approximately the same thing... or just go for funky names that don't really imply anything about their magic abilities (beyond perhaps a religious backdrop) like Cabalist, Exarch, Templar, Heretic, etc.

there is also

geomancer - alters the earth, ground etc.
