Only if you consider it to be. Which, well, says more about you than the class.I agree that the name needs to be changed. Not only is both oddly gendered and speciated (are only human males allowed to play this class?), it is also evocative of some lazy peasant leaning against a spear at a guard post.
Someone else suggested sentinel. I like that. Marshal is nice, too.
