Hybrid Class Names

[Camelot]

A lot of good ideas, and funny ideas. T) I like Reckoner for a Barbarian|Paladin and perhaps Haruspex for a Psion|Ranger (mixing the animal theme with seeing the future), and from the list of names Interwyrm provided (thanks, that's awesome!), I can come up with:

Assassin|Barbarian = Executioner
Figher|Ranger = Swashbuckler
Invoker|Wizard = Evoker
Paladin|Warden = Justicar

If anyone else can glean pairs from those names, some of them are pretty awesome.

As to samurai, a monk with better weapon attacks is something like that.

As to witch; witches (in the Salem Witch Trials as well as other times, I think) could be male or female. In D&D terms, warlocks could be male or female, so I don't see why the two terms shouldn't be seperate ideas beyond gender. After all, in Harry Potter, witches are female wizards, but that's not like D&D at all. T)

And a joke I came up with:

Ranger|Monk = Walker, Texas Ranger

Justicar would seem to me to be more a mix Paladin and Swordmage or Ranger than Warden.

Some from the other thread:

Ardent|Bard = Empath
Bard|Paladin = Errant
Invoker|Shaman = Nephilim
Rogue|Wizard = Magician

As to Justicar; Paladin and Warden both have a strong sense of justice: paladins defend those their god believes to be good, and wardens defend what the spirits believe to be good. Combining all that justice makes a Justicar. Swordmage and ranger give an unecessary magic or woodsy feel, respectively.

Invoker|Wizard------------Innard
Swordmage|Artificer------------Swortificer
Invoker|Ranger------------Ranker
Ranger|Barbarian------------Raarian
Warlock|Warden------------WaWa
Warlock|Warlord------------Locklord
Psion|Fighter------------Psi-Fi (of course)
Avenger|Artificer (Warforged)------------Iron Man

Invoker|Shaman = Nephilim

Ugh! Nephilim? Given the word's origins, I gotta say I hate that for a class combo.

Wow, quite a violent repulsion there. T)

While the word might hint to a race similar to a deva, the invoker part has promise, as you have a shard of godhood in you that you can draw from and unleash. The Shaman part makes it closer to ancestors, as the word has a strong sense of being lost in the past. However, I agree that it's not perfect, though I still like it for a name. If you can think of a better class than Shaman, I'd be willing to change it.

Mind you, the list in the first post is just what I'm going to use. You can use (or not use) whatever you like.

Don't get me wrong, I'm just happy to help brainstorm...and goof around.


Invoker|Shaman

A combo with a direct line to the gods...and the spirits of the world as well.

Harbinger?
Avatar?
Intercessor?

Warlock|Wizard---------------------------Warlard

When you play the class, it's a "Warlard." When someone you don't like plays this hybrid, it's a "Wartard."

Paladin|Warlock--------------------------Pallock

In addition to being a valuable party member, he can sell abstract art to support the adventuring group.

More seriously, I like the idea. I've always been a fan of renaming the class to fit the concept. Class is the physics, not the history.
