Ok, I'm trying to re-create the Path Advancement table for YB3 but we really need new Tier level names. I have spent some time with a thesaurus and come up with the following possibilities for the paths. Of course, any other ideas would be welcome. I have lots of ideas for most of the paths, but only a few for the Clansman.

I need help from you all to pick the Tier 1, 2, 3, and 4 level names for each path. Here is what I have...

Warrior
duelist
fighter
warlord
paladin
bully
pugilist
gladiator
man-at-arms
veteran
myrmidon
rookie
cadet
man-o-war

Clansman
barbarian
highlander
mountain-man
guardian

Aristocrat
genteel
patrician
squire
gentleman/lady
knight
baron
earl
viscount
thane
esquire
boyar
margrave
count
marquis
duke

Mystic
shaman
sorcerer
magician
conjuror
seer
wizard/witch
warlock
mage
diviner
medium
soothsayer
geomancer

acolyte
priest
pastor
pilgrim
hierophant
patriarch/matriarch
reverend
elder
bishop
archbishop
prelate
curate
cannon
missionary
pontiff
abbott
monk
friar

Keep in mind, we should make the lower level names be less powerful sounding than the higher level names. Also, we will surely open up higher tiers at a later date, so we don't want to use the most powerful names until later.

Here are my initial choices:

Warrior- 1. Duelist, 2. Fighter, 3. Veteran, 4. Gladiator
Clansman- Not sure, not enough choices yet.
Aristocrat- 1.Genteel, 2. Squire, 3. Knight, 4. Lord/Lady
Mystic- 1. Medium, 2. Seer, 3. Shaman, 4. Warlock
Acolyte- 1. Pilgrim, 2. Monk, 3. Friar, 4. Abbott

Everyone make your own lists or suggest changes, etc. until we come to some consensus... Aaaaaaaaaaand GO!

To be honest we were trying to avoid 'official' names where possible. If however you want something to make the tables look good:

Duelist sounds more skilled than Fighter (I'd swap them),

And for Clansman I'll throw out:
Clansman:
1 Initiate
2 Guardian
3 Brother-In-Arms
4 Blood-Brother or maybe Chieftain

Well, if we are trying to not give specific names, I can make the Advancement page that way "Tier 1, Rank 2" etc... it just seemed very boring to me. But if it's that way on purpose, I can handle that.
