Favourite Names for Weapons

[GirII]

I'm interested in hearing what names your characters may have given their weapons (and the kind of weapon it was!).

For instance Drizzt has his scimitars Icingdeath and Twinkle.

After the elf named his blade "Heart Seeker", my half-orc named his longsword "Gallbladder Smoosher".

I used to have a 1E fighter who called his +3 Two Handed Sword "Conqueror", and my cleric in RHoD called his Frost Bastard Sword "Rimefell"...

 

[Jakar]

I can only remember a few named weapons in games I've played in. I think this is mostly because of the way magic items are handled in D&D - they're part of the character, not really their own unique items. Sentient weapons are the only ones that seem to get names, IME.

The best, I think, was Judgment of the Sultan, the sentient vorpal sword someone found back in 2e. It was a scimitar, and used as an executioner's blade for an old sultanate. Unfortunately, it was also Lawful Evil, and corrupted the PC who ended up with it, eventually turning her into an assassin. My druid didn't really care, though, since the sword agreed with his politics. Everybody else seemed really concerned about it, though. ;-)

My current character, a githzerai ranger/psychic warrior, had a blade he called Redemption. It was a semi-sentient weapon he got from a githyanki, and had a fragment of his own personality put into it, rather than the (evil) personality it had before. Sort of like a psicrystal in that way, I suppose.

In a Planescape game, I remember a sword called Agony. It wasn't something I had, and I don't remember all the details, but I know it was described as a fragment of the Lady of Pain. Really powerful weapon, as I recall.

The bard I played in our last campaign had a +2 frost rapier that I named Frostbite. I wanted to name one of her weapons and through long and hard about it. Turns out she never used it once in the whole campaign.

 

[Rabelais]

I had a Al Qadim fighter who's sword was named "Scirocco"

 

[Dragonhelm]

I had a character with twin battle axes named Heartcleaver and Bonebiter. Had another character with a Sword of the Planes named Vortex, which could plane shift twice a day.

If you really want some cool named weapons, check out Dragonlance. Tons of weapons with nifty names.

In a Star Wars d20 game I played in my character had an extra pair of cybernetic arms. He wielded a heavy repeating blaster and a light repeating blaster. He named them the Butterfly and the Bee.

 

[Shadeus]

An "elf-bane" equivalent bastard sword out of 1E called Elfcleave.

I have a paladin with a longsword he called Absolution.

Finally, I had created a 2E flametongue (remember, it had a different attack bonus depending on what you were fighting) that was called Splinter. It was intelligent and had a different personality for every type of "plus." The worst was it turned NE when fighting undead and tended to want to stay evil...
