[QUOTE="jaldaen, post: 4237314, member: 214"] [B]Question of the Day[/B] What should the name for this class be? I'd love to keep it as Skirmisher, but the monsters already have a Skirmisher role and it's probably not wise use an already defined term for a class name. The options I'm considering are: Bushwhacker, Harrier, Pioneer, Scout, Vanguard [B]Bushwhacker[/B] sounds too strikerish to me. [B]Harrier[/B] works well enough, but a lot of people might start thinking Iron Heroes. [B]Pioneer [/B] is a bit nebulous and I'd like a name that gets the idea of the skirmisher across from the get go. [B]Scout [/B] is a possiblity, but there might be too much 3.5 baggage to chuck. Still it is a descriptive name for a non-melee controller type. [B]Vanguard[/B] is a cool name, but it sounds too Defenderish. I want the name to imply that this class does not mind being at the front of the party to begin with, but retreats quickly and prefers ranged attacks.
