Giving a name to the classes.

Post » Sun Feb 21, 2016 8:07 pm

My goal here is to share what I've come up with so far. I'm also sharing this because I want your ideas. I've been struggling with giving these classes good names, and I personally feel that while Bethesda did a good job with classes in previous games, they didn't cover everything, hence the reason for custom classes. I'm content with the names I have now, but I have a feeling you guys have some better ones.


I know Skyrim is all about "play the way you want" and they even went as far as removing classes.


I took the three main archetypes (Combat, Magic, Stealth) and split them up into categories. With those categories, I can play science and start mixing them together.


So here's what I have so far. What you see is the letters W, M and T which stand for their corresponding class. The hybrids, the ones you see that have 2 or even 3 letters have been chosen in order of priority.


Example: WM = Warrior/Mage. This means that this is a warrior that may resort to magic.

Example: MWT = Mage/Warrior/Thief. This means that this is a Mage that may resort to physical combat, and occasionally sneaks & steals.


1. W - Warrior

2. M - Mage

3. T - Thief

4. WM - Crusader

5. WT - Bandit

6. MW - Battlemage

7. MT - Rogue Mage

8. TW - Agent

9. TM - Illusionist


All of the following could be considered "Jack-of-all-Trades", but that is just a little too simple for me.


10. WMT - Night Blade

11. WTM - Outlaw

12. MWT - Master Criminal

13. MTW - Specialist

14. TWM - Scout

15. TMW - Life Taker


There are no right or wrong answers here. Thanks for your input!

Yeah not bad.....but I always have a problem with the whole stealth equals thief idea


My girls have always been Scout/Ranger class


So lightly armoured.....fast

Good at Recce....so stealthy

Good with bow.....sniper style/assassin skills

Good with shield and one handed...one weapon type only....cos sometimes you have to just fight your way out

Late game...they learn a little novice level magic...light spells etc



Kind of good all rounder and very tactical in battle
