Pointy hats are for manlets who are compensating for something.

100% pointy hat.
Hoods are for lanklets who aren't powerful enough not to get drowned out in a pointy hat.

Pointy hoods are ok though

Hoods are cool, but the pointy hat is where it's at.
I hate them.

Definitely a hood. You can pull it down and carry a cat or some other familiar inside it without using your hands.

I wear a pointy hat and a hood. That way, if it starts raining, you can put your hood up so it doesn't ruin your hat.

Is this not a valid choice?

You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.

Hood.

Hats are inferior. Except baseball caps, they're very useful.

A hood is just a hood. Anyone can wear a hood. It's not a WIZARD HAT.

Yes, but if a wizard wears it, it's a wizard hood.

Spell envy, you think you can talk **** just because you can cast what I'll generously call a fireball? You have maybe one turret in your tower, look at me, compared to you I'm the grand magus. Know your place.
Notably the wizard smiley has a pointed hat as well. :wizard:

Insufficient. It's just like how the robe is still just a robe, even when worn by a wizard. You put on your robe and wizard hat. It's the hat which is a wizard hat. The robe is just a robe, it doesn't become a wizard robe on its own just by virtue of association. Meanwhile, it is still a wizard hat even when the wearer is not a wizard.

Yeah, even in the OP's first image, the ony way you know that the guy is a wizard is because he's got the Epic Wizard Beard. Take away his epic wizard beard, and suddenly you have no idea who that guy is supposed to be.

Meanwhile, a guy with a wizard hat doesn't necessarily need an epic wizard beard to be identifiable as a wizard. Because he's got a wizard hat, not some generic hood.

Hoods for warlocks/sorcerers and any variant of edgelord casters

Hat is wizard only though. Whimsical hat for the whimsical caster :wizard:

ooh this is a tough one.

Pointy hat just screams Wizard, and looks great in ceremonious or peaceful situations. More of a fashion item.
For adventuring though, I'd be taking the hood.

It screams wizard to the point where people haven't seen it in any other context and only know it as a "wizard hat", with no other name.

The hat will keep you cooler in the sun and drier in the rain because of its wide brim.
