Need help with naming an Alt.Ranger Ability

[Henry@home]

I need as many suggestions as posible here, so bare with me.

I have created an alternate ranger for use with a home brew campaign. This Ranger has an ability to at an early level in his career choose one of the following three sets of virtual feats:

Either

Two Weapon Fighting and Ambidexterity;
Expertise and Weapon Focus;
or Point Blank shot and Precise shot.

I got the the idea, sort of like an Army MOS (TWF style, Fencer style, or Bow style). I came up the the Awe-Inspiring name of "Ranger's Heart" at the inception, since I couldn't think of a good name.

Can someone suggest a suitably poetic and interesting name for this ability that doesn't sound nearly so cheesy as my place-holder name?

Thank you in advance.

Ranger's Path???
Since they have to choose where they want to be.
Just thought I would try

Sagacious Claws

Human(oid)s don't have big claws, or sharp teeth, or great strength. Their wisdom is their weapon, and the ranger's wisdom puts him on top of nature. I like that name enough that I might make a class just so I can name one of its abilities that, in fact...

Each Ranger chooses one of three paths...

That of the Twin Blades -
That of the Bow -
or
The Waveform (attack and defense are basically the same)

 

[BluWolf]

Martial prefernece or martial focus.

 

[DreamChaser]

I called it Ranger Style IMC and I added another.

Mounted Archery and Ride By Attack

My suggestion for the name of the ability would be...

The way of the Hunt

Everyone so far - thank you for the flash-flood of brainstorms you have triggered.

Thanks to Magus Jerel for the cool Idea, which sounds like "peanut butter" to Hal's "chocolate." And Nameless has thus far gotten my vote for "Most Haiku-like Name for a special ability."

Keep 'em coming, any one else who wants to throw their hat in!


BTW, with everyone's indulgence, I have several things that may need a "name-brain-toss" in the near future. I will definitely be prowling these forums here more!

You could go with "School", assuming that there are three distinct schools of rangering in your campaign? Possibly implying rivalry between them?

"Path" or "Pattern" or "Focus" or "Style" could also be considered.

You could also possibly link it to an environmental choice? If a woods ranger tended to use expertise, a plains ranger used bow and a mountain ranger used TWF (just for arguments sake) you could go for something useless like "Terrain Style"

Cheers

BTW - are you "C'mon August!" Henry?

Two Weapon Fighting and Ambidexterity;
Expertise and Weapon Focus;
or Point Blank shot and Precise shot.

You don't really think these feats are balanced against each other, do you? The TWF+Ambi combination is roughly as powerful as one of the other feats; that's why they gave them both to rangers on 1st level (to match the fighter's 1 bonus feat).
