[Hellmonk]

This is the official updated nomenclature for all crawl character archetypes effective 7/25/2018. Below you will find the old designation followed by the new designation that replaces it. Make sure to incorporate the new terminology into all future posts, lest your memes fall out of date.

melee brute -> dude puncher
ranged -> distance fella
blaster caster -> mana muncher
hybrid -> wideboy/widegirl/wideperson
stabber -> stealthmongler
summoner -> tediumfiend

Please direct any queries about the new character archetype naming convention here. Thank you for your time.

"dude puncher" and "distance fella" are both very default male. I'm afraid the political correctness cops have no choice but to execute you.

From the rare old times:

Wizards: Work smarter, not harder.
Fighters: Not smarter, hit harder.
Rogues: Lie smarter, steal hardware.

Dude puncher doesn't bother me, because it's a gender neutral person who happens to punch dudes, and punching dudes is something everyone can get behind.

However you're entirely correct on distance fella, and it will need to change.

I post in old threads intentionally.

I see no reason to let them rest, especially when they're this great
