There's gish as a fighter/mage proto-role (what does it do?) and proper Gish, a specific concept that fits in the larger circle of arcane melee sorts.
Not to put too fine a point on it but a proper Gish is a Githyanki Fighter/Wizard. It is not a concept that fits into anything. I don't know why this has to constantly be repeated.
Because the same way google is now a verb, the meaning of the term 'gish' has changed. Theres another thread to discuss this topic, so i'll stop the thread jack now, but feel free to post your grievances on the degredation of gaming language there.

I understand that, and that is not what I am saying at all. I doubt very many people out there are saying that searching Google, the noun, is not a proper google, the verb. I am not trying to threadjack, I was responding to the implication that somehow the Gish, the one that started it all, is somehow not a proper gish. To me it's like defineing the phrase duck in such a way that a male mallard is disqualified from being a proper duck. The statement was made here, so responding to it on another thread seems almost as ridiculous as the original statement was.

I wish there was a gish that was worthy to carry my name.

This thread has gotten smutty. At least have the decency to censor the word gish in your posts until the good people at Paizo have time to code it as profanity.

Fixed it for you.


Okay, in the last two days, the board has been overrun with threads discussing various aspects of the gish concept. So it got me to thinking, why the sudden interest? Has something happened in the multiverse that I slept through that has prompted this sudden interest? W@hy is everyone suddenly talking about little ol' me?


Don'y you have a friend named Posh?


You forgot me!


Who is this Johnny Come Lately?

Ok rather then derailing another thread I am making yet another Arcane warrior thread (Yay me)

1. Gish does NOT mean any fighter mage..stop using it as such
2. We need a new name for the ideal of a fighter/mage

So far we have seen arcane warrior and spellthane

Anyone got any suggestions?

Why are you picking on me? I don't even know you.

So how many different ways do you think this will get misread?


I like lots of flame based spells myself.


I propose the name Seldriss


Why is everyone suddenly so interested in me?

Well okay.
It's been a long time since I was jealous of someone else's new avatar. Enjoy.

Not nearly enough, you missed the last 4 pages minus a dozen posts.

You're a gish sympathizer, aren't you?

Yes.

Well okay.


This looks like a good place to hang out. Nobody would look for me here.


Celestial Healer wrote:
BTW, David, good job on picking an appropriate avatar for that alias.

Thank you. I only made the alias because I knew the avatar was avalible.


I would rather if you all kept me out of this.

Unfriending David Fryer...

You don't want to do that. Or else this could be you.
