To quote: "Don't #1: No Bobs. When naming your character, avoid everyday names like Jim, Betty, Dave, Sue, or Bob. The D&D world is a fantasy place, where magic is real and humans are only one of many races. In other words, it's not like the real world.Fantasy names are an important part of the distancing effect. The disharmony between a fantasy world and familiar real-world names works only with the latter are used for deliberate comic effect. Thus, Finieous Fingers's sidekicks were named Fred and Charly, Monty Python's King Arthur and his knights meet a wizard called Tim, and so forth. Be warned that such references to the real world break the mood of the game and are only appropriate to parodies."My greatest difficulty with the name Michael Kaine is that it resembles the RL actor. But even if you were to simply call him Michael, the name has too much association with the biblical archangel Michael. In the Darkhawk campaign, I saw the name of Sir Jonathon as at least fitting to the concept of a knight. Michael is not a name that fits a warlock. Perhaps you could simply call him Kaine. That, along with the association with biblical Cain would probably be more appropriate given the dark nature of the warlock.[/sblock]Phoenix, a cleric would probably be more useful to the existing group. But feel free to play a psion if that is your desire.</blockquote>
