How would you abbreviate these classes!

[Halivar]

For two-word class names (excluding "of"), I use the first two letters of each word in camel case:

Arcane Trickster = ArTr
Planar Champion = PlCh
Champion of Gwynrwhyf(sp?) = ChGw
Mystic Theurge = MyTh

For multiple word class names, I just use the first letter of each word, with articles and conjunctions lowercase:

Knight of the Middle Circle = KotMC
Outlaw of the Crimson Road = OotCR
Mage of the Arcane Order = MotAO

The checklist that comes with the Dragoneye minis has some rule updates on the back. Among them are the abbreviations for some PrCs:

Bladesinger: Bld
Dragon samurai: Dsm
Drunken master: Drk
Eye of Gruumsh: Eye
Halfling outrider: Out
Purple dragon knight: Prp
Ravager: Rav
Tattooed monk: Ttm
Thayan knight: Thk

I have been careful to preserve case, even in the full names of the classes. That is exactly as they are listed on the checklist.

Are class abbreviations really useful? When making a stat block if you say AgR4, will the average person know what that means? I've never heard of the agent retriever and AGR would not make it easy for me to find it.

 

[hong]

I abbreviate base classes, but write out prestige class names in full. There are probably more prestige classes these days than there are acronyms.
