[QUOTE="fuzzlewump, post: 5017696, member: 63214"] I think it's potentially interesting, the name Ardent. It could be an in game thing, like that's what people call them. Something like, "those guys training sure are ardent." And despite being incorrect, it just stuck. Like, uh, in Batman Begins(the movie) where people start calling him "the Bat Man." Bat isn't an adjective, so "Bat Man" is actually incorrect. But it takes on its own meaning. To make this into an argument, if you don't like "Ardent" you must not like Batman! :) I think something like "Strong" would definitely be a lame class name, but ardent is just outside of the vocabulary enough to be cool. Of course, if it's an everyday word for someone, like strong is, then there's problems. Maybe, anyway. Your mileage may vary. The seeker I play is a similar thing, what he goes by is "the Seeker." Obviously, that's correct in english, but it's the same principle: that a description basically defines the class/character. Unlike, say, Wizard or Cleric which are just names.
