[QUOTE="Traycor, post: 3910030, member: 54613"] I'll take a stab at this one. If I want a wizard in my game that lives as a hermet in the mountains and gained his powers by studying an old spellbook, he is not a "Golden Wyvern Adept" and is not part of any order. Such a heavy handed and wonky name gets in the way of things. I can honestly see new players looking at that and going, "What the #$%^ is that!?" Stupid stuff like that takes away from the credibility of the game. It interferes with the story. Monk abilities called "diamond body" don't mean anything because they just describe a cool power that will never be named inside the game world. Where as "Golden Wyvern Adept" describes a wizardly order and directly infers that you are part of and associated with this organization. Lastly, the name requires senseless memorization. It is easy to see "diamond body" and remember in general what the ability does because the name makes sense. "Golden Wyvern Adept" has nothing at all to do with anything. It requires me to look up the abilities each times because I have no clue whatsoever what the difference is between a "Golden Wyvern Adept" and a "Lightning Beaver Expert". P.S... Halfings are called that because they are half as TALL as a human, not because they are a half breed. ;) [/QUOTE]
