[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8524983, member: 6704184"] So, recently I made a second version of my homebrew swordmage, which I've attached. I like it so far, it's got good bones, especially for a rewrite that I did in a single 5-hour hyper-focus session. The concept is a mystic or esoteric warrior whose defense is partly magical and partly a matter of analysis or awareness of their surroundings, who bonds a ritual weapon or makes themselves a weapon, reaching beyond what a mundane warrior can do. It's a rewrite both of the swordmage and the monk, using elements of both to solve eachother's problems. But what the hell should I call it? I've got a few words I really would love to conjugate into something useful as a proper noun. Ritual knives of western hermetic mysticism: [I]atheme, athame, artavo[/I], [I]artavus[/I], [I]arthana[/I], [I]artanus[/I], [I]arthany[/I] or [I]arthame[/I] Magic of enchanting items, or just a cool word for magic, or a word for dwarf magic: [I]Dweomer, dweomercraeft, or the noun dweomerlak, maybe dweomerlock?[/I] Central to the class, and referring to protection, as in "under the aegis of"; [I]aegis. [/I] My goal is to find a solid single word name. Failing that, might as well stick with swordmage. Thoughts? Further suggestions? [/QUOTE]
