What did you name your Custom Class?

Post » Wed Aug 26, 2009 12:19 am

I have used the name "Custom" for one custom class, because I couldn't think of a name for it. My current Orc is a "Troublemaker" but I'm keeping him sober so far.

Wow, you actually picked pockets and stole things? I bet no one ever thought of that how original.



It was scavenging, and what makes your fights with blade/blunt along with marksman (for long distances) and can also speak pretty well class so original?

I wasn't implying that it was a genius original class, just the name Freebooter is not one you see on the boards, or in most fantasy, but a few people very well acquainted with Howard's work would know it. My comment was mainly meant to point out that it didn't seem appropriate to be sarcastic about anything that had been posted earlier in the thread.

My sarcasm was not meant to be duragatory, I was mostly just poking fun.

My current is Sagitaire, french for Sagitarius, the Archer of the western Zodiac who is also half horse (working as well with chosing the Steed sign), I play a Bosmer, sooo it works, and sounds a whole lot cooler than it really is haha
been playing with the idea of having another character, a female Nord who's class would be Guerriere....another Frenchified knock off just meaning Warrior

My mage I just started is a Warmage... basically, I took most of the mage skills but switched out Illusion and Alchemy with Blade and Armorer... nothing major, but it is a fun build so far...

Being as wonderfully creative as I am, I came up with 'Adventurer'. Clever, right?

I have quite a few Adventurers. That's my default when I can't think of anything better. Either that or Drifter-- I've used that a lot too.

Courtesan - trained as courtesan/spy, actually made this up before i ever heard of the kushiel book series...


You're the one. :D I have one Courtesan (though she's Dunmer), and I knew I'd stolen the name and basic idea from somebody on these boards, but I couldn't remember who.

She's a great character-- like yours, no strength bonuses, no endurance bonuses, pure intelligence, willpower and personality character. And a fun roleplay.


A few other of the more memorable ones (most of my class names have been relatively dull and unimaginative):

Dave is a Psychopath.
Jana is a Nordic Goddess.
Hale is a Grunt.
Mindi is a Barbarina.

Oh man that is awesome, I am glad you liked the Courtesan. And you said we disagree on builds.... Mindi the Barbarina sounds stellar, I have a female Breton stock Barbarian, cuz I love the paradoxical as well.... and she utterly kicks as, as does the Courtesan...

You should check out the Kushiel book series. I flipped out when this lady told me about them about two weeks after I made that character. The main character is essentially a Courtesan who gets training as a spy and becomes a big time power player in the world's political scene. It is very well written and an excellent fantasy world concept, basically set in an alternate historical late middle ages with some basic magical and mythical components thrown in the mix.

Well.... that's because we so often do. :D There's no way I'd pick speechcraft or alchemy on pretty much any build, no matter how much sense they make from a roleplaying perspective. I understand why you do it-- it's just not something I'd do. Maelyn (my Dunmer Courtesan) does have Illusion, but that's just because it's so central to the build. And I guess if she relied on Charm instead of the mini-game, Speechcraft would be okay, but I just don't like Charm much. Partly it's that it's temporary-- I like to go through the mini-game the first time I talk to someone, then never have to deal with it again. And partly it's just that in order to rely on Charm, I'd have to hotkey it, and I already have too few hotkeys.

Mindi the Barbarina sounds stellar, I have a female Breton stock Barbarian, cuz I love the paradoxical as well.... and she utterly kicks as, as does the Courtesan...

Mindi's one of my all-time favorites. And yeah-- it's the paradoxical that's a good part of the attraction. It all started when someone here (I'm pretty sure it was Benn) dared someone else to play a female Bosmer with a battle axe, and I thought that was such a great idea that I immediately went and created her. She eventually shifted to a war axe, and asserted a bit of a pixie-ish quality that I had to balance with the barbarian nature of her fighting, but that just added to the roleplay. And she is indeed deadly.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll keep an eye out for them.

My two custom classes are:

Night Prowler because that is my favorite AC/DC song, and it fits the character (a sneaky Khajiit).

Khajiiti Lime because I made a green Khajiit, whose name also has the word lime.

I plan on having:

Khajiiti Graqe

Khajiiti Orange

Khajiiti Cherry

Khajiiti Lemon

and Khajiiti Blue

Here was another that I plan to use if or when I finish and go back to be "not so nice"

Imperial Terran - From Star Trek mirror universe, I know not so "original" but still a unique situation, a Terran went back in time,,forget it.... Sounds silly and whack that a man my age almost appears like a Star Trekkie too.

Street Performer: Carnie: Showman

Acrobats- Show your audience how graceful and agile you can be with hands stands and high wires and great leaps.
Illusion-Decieve your audience with smoke and lights and dissapear before their eyes
Marksman-show your skill with the bow by performing impossible shots
Alteration-make the crowd think twice of what something is by walking right on water or making a feather become a 100 pounds
Myticism- self levitation is always a good followup
Destruction-blasting stuff with lightening and fire always gets the crowd ready for surprises
Conjuration- have a couple of creatures help with your performance

yeah i can see the trepidation on those skills as majors, however, speechcraft can actually be totally controllable if one chooses not to use it, and really, I find that if you use Illusion correctly it doesn't matter how fast you level or how many attribute bonuses you get.

RiskBraek'r because I loved the Vagrants Story game on PS1 made by Squaresoft (now known as Square Enix). Also because I like the idea of a roving character.
Executioner. Those guys that did the dirty work when it came to hangings and such in the Medieval days. Of course that character worked for the DB.

Witch Hunter, because he's a witch hunter. Before that, it was UBERDEFFKILL, because that one favoured a rather unsubtle playstyle.

I was thinking what to name my next class

Voice of Sauron

Does anyone know the maximum letters usable in the PS3?

Since I plan to start a new save I want to make a character that is only evil when need be (or if it presents itself) and it would be beat to use a make shift Lord of the Rings villain in Oblivion
