Most people are advocating for an existing word, and there is usually opposition to any existing word for a variety of reasons.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Some people don't want the Archetype name to be an actual military title, as it makes assumptions about their background:  Captain, Officer, Marshal, and the like.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Some people don't want an existing word to be redefined as "martial tactician leader":  Can a Wizard or a Paladin be a "Tactician"? Or can only the Fighter?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Some people don't like names that suggest that the character has authority over their peers:  Like "Princess" or "Commander"</li> </ul>Rather than shoehorn imperfect real words, why not play around with alternatives, and create a new fantasy-themed name and give it a job in a multiverse where it is semi-normal to have squads of mercenaries and adventurers going on quests and fighting monsters. Embrace the potential D&D lore that could be created.Here are some fantasy-sounding archetype names. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Bravura" (It even has history)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Tacticzar"</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Vanguardian"</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Warcaller"</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Warseer"</li> </ul>Anyone have even cooler names that evoke a fantasy battlefield shot-caller when you're not really military? One that doesn't assume they are the boss of the entire group?</blockquote>
