Another name for the Warlord: Ayran

[Chocobot]

You know what? I prefer:

Priest instead of Cleric
Warrior instead of Fighter
Berserker instead of Barbarian
Mage instead of Wizard


But I haven't started threads about all of these. Why? Because no one cares, and it isn't going to change a damn thing. Here's what you do: When 4e comes out, tell your friends that when you say "Ayran", you are actually referring to the warlord class and not yogurt dip.

 

[Green Knight]

Completely, completely agree.

Do not use Ayran or any variation of Aryan.

Go phonetic. Stick with your I-ran example. I-ran shouldn't bother anyone.

Nah, you'd tire to quickly if you played that class. Better to call it the U-ran. Nevermind that that's much more fitting for the class concept, which involves others doing the heavy lifting.

People have been using the term portmanteau wrong a lot recently.

Remember, if you can see two whole words (i.e. warmage), it isn't a portmanteau.

 

[Nifft]

So here's my attempt: Ayran (prounounded I - ran)

Stop playing so much Starcraft.

Because class names that don't clearly suggest what the class does are confusing to new players. Nobody, new or old to gaming, can confuse what a "fighter" does. But if I said a party contained a "gobflobble", a "wronkitator" and a "miranginist", you'd have no clue what that meant until you'd memorized the rulebook.

I know those! They were the premade characters from the G1-2-3 modules!

 

[Scholar & Brutalman]

I've got it!

The name that everyone will accept for the class:

Fuehrer

Goes great with the tiefling!


(I think it may even beat Rubber Ducky.)

 

[Mighty Veil]

I still like Marshal the best.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

How about following an existing WOTC naming scheme then.

OK, "Marshal" it is, then.

Yeah I keep forgetting that it's just a compound word then. A portmanteau is more of a fusion of two words. Like most pokemon.

As a side note: I totally agree on your version on class names! They're e-x-a-c-t-l-y the same as in my games!

Cheers, LT.
