I need name ideas for a warrior-mage class that uses the Spellweaving mechanic from here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103250). Ideas?

Note: names that are IP (duskblade, swordmage, etc.) are out: I need to not use IP stuff.

Is "Spellsword" taken? (portmanteau of "spell" and "sellsword")

Spellsword is in CWar, but I could use it if I can't find anything better. I was possibly thinking just using Warmage and being done with it.

"Gish" :smallwink:

Blade Mage
Mageblade
Arcane Guardian
Hex Knight
Weave Knight

Really, depends on the setting, and what other "buzzwords" are connected with magic in that setting. Duskblade, for example, really doesn't make any sense unless you factor in the elves' belief that magic and nighttime are connected.

Weaveknight or Mageblade might work.

Textor
(female Textrix)

Latin for "weaver" according to this online translator, which may in fact be bunk.

Plus your character can get feats involving text messaging.

If it's "Lightning Warrior" you might as well go all-out.

Lightning Guitar Warrior 40,000 Volts.

It'd probably make a pretty good PrC, if that's any consolation. :smalltongue:

Would that make him a Rider on the Storm?

Well crap...none of you guys got the reference. Do yourselves a favor and google "Lightning Warrior" right now. Be sure to read through the PEACH comments as well. I will not claim responsibility for an splitting of sides resulting in the absolute absurdness of it all though...

"Rangers are the 5th best healers in the PHB!"

And "A familar is a TANK!"

lulz

One piece of mage information, one piece of warrior information

Mage: Spellshard, of Generation, of Creation, Thread, Weaver,

Warrior: Knight, Warden, Blade, Hero, Iron, of Battle, War,

Results: Spellshard Warden, Iron Thread, Blade of Creation, War Weaver, Hero of Generation,

I get the sense that the result would be better if I could think of more words to jumble together

I'd like to do more towards the seed path.

Knight of the Garden
Cultivator
Blossom of Steel

Or, if you like stereotypical magical names,
Entropic Knight
Weavewarden
Nova knight
Ferrumancer
Stahlgewittern
SturmDrang

Bladeweaver +1

Why not a simple warrior mage, mage warrior, warmage or battlemage? Not everything has to sound fancy.

Bladeweaver +2. I was going to suggest it, but the server decided it didn't like me posting that reply.

Threadwarden. It sounds cheesy now, but give it time to grow on you.

Threadwarden.

I like it.

Also:

Mage (It's not being used for anything else, right?)
Freeweaver (as in Freelancer)

Threadwarden gets my vote.

A few more alternatives - Loomward, Warpbinder, Tailor-Militant.

I'm on the Bladeweaver bandwagon if it's a base class, Helix Knight if it's a PrC.

How about Spellweave Soldier? Iron Thread is a good one too.

Since not all warriors use swords, I wouldn't use that unless you have to.

Spell Warrior.

Warrior Magus.

Magi Warrior.

Spell Solider.

Spell Knight.

I like Warrior Magus myself.
