XP titles - possible revamp?

[Thalain]

The flavorful XP titles are a good idea, but I still have a problem with them - they are so randomly running through the classes that this becomes an issue with using a character name (which I foolishly did) as user name. Having a title such as "Acolyte" is as far away from my character's personality as is possible and having something as "Minor Trickster" sounds a bit belittling (why the "minor"? Can't we just have a low level wizard as trickster?)

Anyway, I know it will probably not be possible to have class-specific titles due to the way board software works, but would it be possible to have them class-neutral? I am sure titles like (in random order) Apprentice, Follower, Adventurer, Lord, Dragonslayer, Hero, Demigod etc. would be plentiful enough to to cover 25 levels without having to jump all across classes.

Just a random thought from a new user who would actually like the XP system if the titles were more character-compatible...

There have been changes to them before. I think this is the fourth set of titles, not counting specific changes to individual titles (when Weem was still at the top the top ones changed as he passed through them, etc.).

Yeah, the FAQ still lists an old set based on races (which would only be applicable for devils since those actually change form when promoted) - class titles are definitely an improvement over that, but changing Wizard to Rogue to Cleric to whatever with each advance seems weird to me. A set of generic titles would prevent that, I guess. I'd probably be less picky on a non-RPG forum with this, but when it comes to RPG, match between rules and character is one of my pet peeves

They get changed randomly at whim. The next set might be anything!

I am happy as long as my title is cool.

That sounds like you're begging for something especially uncool.
