Summoning and Name-suckage

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

These names are bad? I guess for my non-native english ear (*), they work.

Of course, Fire Warrior? Why do I suddenly think of Warhammer 40K?


*My mangling of the English language is used for emphasis.

I looked at the Arcane Power preview today. And I have to say... I've never really had the urge to play a wizard who could summon Hammerfist Crushers. Or Arrowhawks. Or Iron Cohorts? Fire Warriors are so bland as to make me wonder: was Pyromaw Firelord already taken or something? How can they have both bland and nonsensically over-flavored names at the same time?

These threads have been like old friends since the very earliest 4E previews. I'm just waiting for the post that says, "Even I can do better than that!" and then proceeds to suggest six or seven completely rubbish alternatives.

For me, Fire Warrior is dull in the extreme, Hammerfist Crusher is meh, Arrowhawk is cool and has precedent, and Iron Cohort conjures some pretty good imagery.
