Playing with new class titles for the game
It rather helps that the titles didn't change much from D&D 1e. >>;;; I also wanted to avoid using masculine titles for anyone (like me) who'd rather imagine the player-character to be female. As well as give the titles a little more jazz...with a little help from scouring the various class titles in Titan Quest, Grim Dawn, and ArcheAge. This is what I've come up with...
WARRIOR --Mercenary --Soldier --Commando --Veteran --Armsmaster (it's not like the class favors swords to begin with...) --Myrmidon --Commando --Champion --General (out of place?) --Hero MAGE --Magician --Invoker --Evoker --Enchanter --Exponent (as in someone who expounds--in this case, ideas about magic) --Sage --Arcanist --Thaumaturge --Sorcerer --Magus DRUID --Scion (it means both "heir"--like heir to druidic teachings, hopefully--and "branch") --Animist --Soothsayer --Elementalist --Warden --Shaman --Mystic --Geomancer --Stormwielder --Mystagogue (someone who teaches about mystical ideas) PRIEST --Novitiate --Acolyte --Diviner (mostly for the etymology) --Priest --Oracle --Templar (the original etymology/meaning is temple-er--someone who cares for a temple) --Exorcist --Ritualist --Prophet --Hierophant (one who teaches about rituals. Similar to "mystagogue", but I felt the mystic/sacred distinction merited a divide.) NECROMANCER (Who doesn't do much divination with--actual necromancer--or weaponizing of--necrourge--the dead, oddly. Rename to Warlock?) --Initiate --Defiler --Warlock --Tombcaller (I know, I know, the previous parenthesis speaks otherwise...) --Spellbinder --Oppressor --Conjurer --Doombringer --Nightbearer --Archon (with an eye to its use in Gnosticism. The archons--or rather, archontes theoi/ruling gods--were the animalistic and cruel true creators of the physical/hylic world, as opposed to the original, virtuous gods, the aeons of the Pleroma.) PALADIN --Squire --Protector --Defender --Sentinel --Knight --Warder --Guardian --Avenger --Paladin --Justiciar ROGUE --Cutpurse --Varlet (should these first two be swapped?) --Thief --Ransacker --Burglar --Infiltrator --Rogue --Trickster --Darkrunner --Nightcloak RANGER --Archer --Strider --Scout --Outrider --Harbinger (same etymology as "harbor", actually; a scout specially tasked with finding lodging for other soldiers) --Tracker --Hunter --Explorer --Ranger --Ranger Knight (I wish I had found a better alternative...) BLACKGUARD --Bravo --Reaver --Enforcer --Slayer --Brigand --Berserker --Marauder --Black Knight --Shadow Knight --Conqueror Thoughts on whether they're good/justified for the game? |
