Help naming this class

Post » Fri Jun 11, 2010 1:19 am

So I am in need of the creativity of the wonderful peoples of these forums. I just made a class and cannot decide what to name it. The class is very loosely based of of Eragon from the books Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr (if anybody has read them). I'm shooting for a name involving some kind of magical name like "arcane" and then another word after that. Ok so here's the class.

Name: Xayne

Race: Breton

Class name: ???

Specialization: Magic

Attributes: Intelligence and Endurance

Skills: Destruction, Restoration, Mysticism, Blade, Light Armor, Conjuration, Acrobatics.

I appreciate the suggestions anyone gives! Thank you.

Hail.

I once had the concept of an 'Arcane Blade' character, who'd basically combine intelligence and agility to potentialise his blade skill (so he would wear light armour always). So for this to make Oblivion-sense, i'd have to change a few skills, namely include Alchemy somewhere... replacing conjuration maybe? And if yo want to mingle a little bit of roguishness... replacing mysticism for Sneak lets you critical strike foes when wielding a longsword (one-handed) - or if u dl a mod called Brutal Stealth, allows you to sneak with two-handed blade.

So, u basically would have: Destruction, Restoration & Alchemy for magic; Light Armor, Acrobatics & Sneak for stealth; Blade for combat.

Kill.


EDIT: if u want, u can even put in Illusion instead of one of the magic skills, or Acrobatics (many ppl advise against putting Acro as main skill, as it levels too fast, which honestly i dont care, but u must know this).

Well I thought long about how to make this class and this is the final result. I left out certain skills that would better suit this class for a reason. For example, I left out alteration because destruct and resto and alt all govern willpower, I already have dstruc and resto in my class so I left alt to a minor so I could always make sure I get the 5 bonus to willpower. Same for intelligence. I left out Alchemy so I can level alchemy until I get the 5 bonus, I keep track of the skill level ups on a piece of paper so I don't accidentally over level a minor too much. As for acrobatics, I just needed a filler that slightly made sense with the class and wouldn't. Uncontrollably lvl me like of say athletics would. Back to the topic though haha. I like the name Arcane Blade. Unless anyone can trump that, I will go with it. Good name.

Magic Machete. (It has the virtue of originality, but that's about it...)

Arcane = strange, unusual. Mystic = mysterious, unknown. Neither really refers to magic per se. Magic in Nirn is common, a part of everyday life. To be unable to perform basic magic is to be subhuman. Subgoblin, even!

WitchBlade is good.

Arcane Blade sounds ok. Otherwise, Arcane Warrior, Arcane Knight, Arcane Guardian or Arcane Warden.

Yeah, good books. The storyline is pretty much Star Wars though.

Yes very starwars like, but none the less great books. Anyway I was going to go with a rcanewarrior but the or creates another line down so its like. Arcanewarri-
or

For some reason seeing it create a second line and hang off just irritates me, I have no idea why haha. So I was looking for a shortened word. So far the names are great people. Thanks a lot! If you think you can come up with a better name feel free to post :)

Well, Mageblade would be shorter. Although I must say I am a fan of Witchblade.
