Epic Weapon Names

[Nerdynick]

So its pretty much what it sounds like. What are some epic weapon names that all of us DMs can use in our campaigns or that we can name our characters' swords.

For example, things like warcraft's Frostmourne or Iron Kingdoms' Witchfire

[Delcor]

Well from the Tome of Artifacts some of the weapon names are:

Ashrune
The Bastard of Exalted Heroism
Ghost Reaver
The Fang of Devil Tigers
Darkwood Heart

[Derjuin]

Some of these are sort of if-you-like-it, but:


Worldbreaker/Worldslayer
Tyrhung
Doombringer
Reaper's Toll
The Oculus
Armageddon/Apocalypse/Cataclysm/Catastrophe/Oblivion/Ragnarok
Spineripper
Lifedrinker
Skullcrusher
Justifier
Purifier
Godslayer
Caledfwlch
Divine Light
Eternal Harmony
Heartstriker
Severance
Nightfall
The Unyielding
Reign of Misery
Righteous Might
Bloodweep
Fallen Champion
Cometfell
Abyssal Shard
Blackest Heart
Blind Justice
Requiem of Rainbows
Unending Tyranny
Mercy
Story-Weaver
Thorn/Needle/Sting
Convergence
<gibberish mix of letters> Lok'amir il Romathis/Crul Shorukh/Maladath
Herald of Woe/Pain/Death/Righteousness/Whathaveyou
The Untamed
<weapon type> of the <fancy title> Blade of the Sovereign/Hammer of the Grand Crusader
<scary creature type>fell Giantfell/Dragonfell
Monarch

[Madcrafter]

...Requiem of Rainbows...

Is it just me, or does that one stick out like a sore thumb?

Sounds like an epic wand of prismatic spray to me.

[Crow]

tyrhung

He is, is he?

[Derjuin]

He is, is he?

Maybe, I just liked the name.


Is it just me, or does that one stick out like a sore thumb?

Happy-go-Lucky worlds need epic weapons too :smalltongue:

Also:

Mangler
<Angel or Demon name> Apolyon
Hope-Ender
Warwyrd
Betrayer
Kinslayer
Vanquisher
<limb/extremity> of <deity> Talon of Pazuzu/Hand of Pelor/Claw of Io
Dirge
Soulscourge
Massacre

[Kobold-Bard]

Go to the Elven Translator (http://www.coveworld.net/eberron/aerenal_translator.html) & Draconic Translator (http://draconic.twilightrealm.com/) and type in words associated with the weapon in question.

Then mix & match the ones you like best.

eg. I was making an epic level Psion/Wizard with a crystal staff that needed a name. So I put the word crystal into the Elven one and got Teirar, which I liked.

Because it's not the usual "adjective of noun" or "noun verb-er" (Wrath of Flames or Death Bringer etc.), to me it makes them seem more personalised, which is important for such powerful items.

*Disclaimer: I speak neither Elven nor Draconic so cannot vouch for the accuracy of the translators.

[Anderlith]

Valendol, Tir'Naga'Tin'Tangre, Sash of Sorrows, Gnome-be-gone, Thyrolth, Eldrothara, Hailhoth, Gnorn, Benoc, Harisstad, Oaksight (bow), Beloth Blueblade, Bejeweled Jape (Rogue/Bard weapon)

[ILM]

Sounds like an epic wand of prismatic spray to me.
Or a Unicorn-bane sword.

In my campaign so far, I've statted a longsword (Call-to-Arms, a flaming harmonizing crystal echoblade), a greatsword (Ves'ech, the Divide, a mean slab of rusted metal acting as a dessicating greatsword of collision) and a pair of daggers (the Fade and the Keen, no particular properties except the Keen acts as an Assassin's Dagger).

[Thiyr]

In general, I find that items which have in some sense a tie to their power or history in their name work best. Personally, I've used Ashflight for a fairly standard Flaming Spellstoring Mercurial Greatsword, and Jackal's Pride for a character's founded pair of matched legacy kukri (as he was a werejackal). Frostmourne would be a good example here, both in its ties to cold (and undeath by association) and the misery it causes. Words that evoke specific emotions or connotations are your friend here. You may also want to give a browse through the Diablo 2 unique item listing (http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/uniques.shtml) for some good names. Some work less well, but others (Bloodletter, The Patriarch, Hexfire, Stormspire) are fitting. Simplicity and memorability help as well, I find (At least for me it does), as does treating it less like a weapon and more like a character in its own right. Tir'Naga'Tin'Tangre is impressive-looking, but people won't remember it, so its impact will be lost, just like someone named Raxacoricofallapatorius. But if someone is known by just a title (The Patriarch being an example of this. See also: The Godfather), particularly if it's not too overt (The Destroyer is too blunt), you know they mean business.

[Eurus]

I kind of love innocuous names. A flaming rapier called Pigsticker, a warhammer named Patience... Like calling an enormous guy with biceps the size of your head Tiny.

[NNescio]

[Body Part]cleaver
[Monster]cleaver
[Monster]smiter
[Body Part]crusher
[Monster]bane
[Item] of [Descriptiveness]
[Proper Noun]'s [Possession]
[Animal]'s [Possession]

Or more generally:

[Noun] [Verber] (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NounVerber)

[supermonkeyjoe]

I'm particularly fond of the Destiny arms from secrets of Xen'drik:
Maul of the Glacial Heights
Spear of the Desert Wind
Staff of the Magma Falls
Glaive of the Darkest Depths

[NOhara24]

A few sessions ago, our druid discovered a funny looking staff. After some examination, he found out it's name.

"Weeberjabber."

Least. Intimidating name. Ever.

[Kojiro]

Is it a reference to the Wabbajack (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Wabbajack) (which is still a better name admittedly)?

[panaikhan]

We once had an Epic Weapon in our campaign called "Florance".
It was wielded by an unassuming warrior - or at least seemed to be - the warrior was actually a manifestation of the sword's will.

[Talya]

There is Arya Stark's "Needle."

[Kobold-Bard]

We once had an Epic Weapon in our campaign called "Florance".
It was wielded by an unassuming warrior - or at least seemed to be - the warrior was actually a manifestation of the sword's will.

The sword was so powerful it created a swordsman to wield it.

Consider this idea stolen.

[Anderlith]

Not to mention Ice, Longclaw, & such

[gkathellar]

Either "Hollow Silence," or just "Silence."

That way when you deliver a finishing blow with it, you can be incredibly lame and say, "And then, Silence."

[Partysan]

Just now on the boards I'm playing a character with a weapon called "Gentle Nudge". And as secondary she has a banishing whip, "Outvitation"

[Yrcrazypa]

Sun Slayer and Lichfoe are personal favorites of mine.

[Cieyrin]

You don't need to wait till epic to name your weapons, it gives them a bit of history to have a name early on.

I'm personally a fan of having large weapons called things like Diplomacy or the Gentle Persuader. :smallbiggrin:

Other neat names I've used are Drumthumper, Shame Crusher, Orcsticker, Paul's Nettle (the wielder's name was Paul, obviously), The Divider, etc.

You can also steal from some classic weapons, like Stormbringer, Whelm, Wave and Blackrazor, as well. :smallwink:

[Divide by Zero]

I call it Vera.

[Altarus]

I remember the time when I played Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Tis such a good strategy game, with awesome stuff. And awesome artifacts. Some artifacts I remember.

Amulet of the Undertaker
Armageddon's Blade
Armor of the Damned
Angelic Alliance
Blackshard of the the Dead Knight
Bow of the Sharpshooter
Cloak of the Undead King
Crown of the Supreme Magi
Power of the Dragon Father
Shield of the Yawning Dead
Statue of Legion
Stoic Watchman

[Telonius]

Here are some Artifact names I've used, you might be able to cull a few from there.

Amulet of the Lost
Shackles of the Fiend
Final Judgment (Relic item for St. Cuthbert)

And a set of three items (resonance, per MiC):
The Bell (Originally an actual bell, but you could use a Shield instead)
The Book (Tome/Manual plus other goodies)
The Candle (Holy Avenger plus other goodies)

[Andreaz]

"magnificent absence of subtlety"

[Crow]

"Grettir the Bear-Hewer"

"Prince of <insert campaign-specific location>"

"Mighty Tusk"

"Phallus Stand-in"

[Socratov]

I tend to boroow some inspiration from the elder scrolls:

Morrowind legendairy weapons (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Weapon_Artifacts)

and

Oblivion's artifacts (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Artifacts)

[Violet Octopus]

A weapon name culled from other media that I really like is the Giant's Knife. Matter-of-fact, descriptive, epic-by-association. Quite useful for weapons that weren't unique when they were made, even if they are rare/unique now.

Similarly, weapons crafted from a body part of a legendary creature (or first bequeathed to an adventurer by such a creature for enigmatic purposes can be the Couatl's Fang, the Shadow Wyrmscale Shield.

Naming weapons after their last wielder, e.g. Pemerell's Blade works if Pemerell is already established as a past hero, alternately the weapon is a nice way to name-drop him for later use in the campaign.

[Nerdynick]

You could have an intelligent item composed of multiple intelligences. Opening dialogue, a thousand different voices saying "We are legion!" Especially if the sword was named Legion

[NOhara24]

Is it a reference to the Wabbajack (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Wabbajack) (which is still a better name admittedly)?

That's it! I knew it had to be from somewhere! Our DM played alot of morrowind/oblivion. Thank you, sir.

[Winds]

Darkness Awaiting
The Soul of Truth
Edge of the Wind
Flamecutter
Mindreaver
Dream's End
Lost Destiny
Earth's Requiem
Eye of the Abyss
Sun's Tear
The Mourning Star


Now I have more campaign ideas...

[Cieyrin]

Iron Reaver
Blood's Edge
Kanin's Bane (crossbow that consistently crits when shooting guys named Kanin. True Story. :smalltongue:)
Shadow of the Eclipse
Storm Roar
Sword of Omens :smallcool:
Tidal Surge
Breath of the North
Chaos Bringer

[Steveotep]

I created a Beholder-slaying sword.

I named it "Beauty. :smallwink:

[zagan]

We once had an Epic Weapon in our campaign called "Florance".
It was wielded by an unassuming warrior - or at least seemed to be - the warrior was actually a manifestation of the sword's will.
The sword was so powerful it created a swordsman to wield it.

Consider this idea stolen.

Me too that's fantastic. For the wielder I'll probably use medium astral construct as a base but it look like a normal humanoid.


I created a Beholder-slaying sword.

I named it "Beauty. :smallwink:

I laught out loud when I understood this one. I will definitively steal this idea for my campaign !

Lot of great idea in this thread.

[Dr.Epic]

The Cutthroat Cutlass of Cut-You-All

[panaikhan]

In a non-D&D campaign I ran across a sword called "Deathkiss" (I think).
It's power was to turn pain into pleasure - at least, for the person being struck with it.
There was the equivalent to a will save or concentration check to prevent a strike from Deathkiss from leaving you momentarily stunned (lose your next action).

There was another sword in that campaign called "XAOS". It used a backgammon die for damage.

[Midnight_v]

"Black"
Not much more epic that...

LOL! Its a Warhammer.

[Archpaladin Zousha]

For some reason I always had the urge to have a powerful warhammer in my campaign named "Wham-Bam-Bam." When asked why it's called that, you can simply reply, "Because that's what it does!"

Come to think of it, what kinds of names could you come up with that have that as a justification?

"Because that's what it does!"

[Socratov]

piercer for a bow and arrow, stick-em-with-the-pointy-end for a rapier of sorts (yeah, that's how I handle it, problem?), choppity-chop for an axe, sting for a dagger, *swoosh* for a sword (it's the sound that it makes). there are many more, but this is enough for now.

[Blue Ghost]

I like the name Sonatina for my singing sword.

[tribble]

just take two cool words and put them together. sometimes you only need one.
-oathkeeper
-brightroar
-ice
-longclaw
-dawn
et cetra.

[Gensh]

I prefer it better when they're simple. Sure, you can have some pretty nice descriptions, but it doesn't get any better than the Black Blade (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCxL3-Fl7bM). There's nothing flowery about it at all, so by comparison with the bajillion other named magic weapons, it's distinctive. It's the Black Blade. There are other swords which are solid black for one reason or another, but there's only one sword that can consume enough souls to restart the multiverse.

Well, given it's about Elric's Stormbringer... :smalltongue:

Plus, we could always go with the homage to Stormbringer that's actually in D&D, Blackrazor, though you'll have to get Return to White Plume Mountain to see it in 3.5 rules.

[Gensh]

Well, given it's about Elric's Stormbringer... :smalltongue:

True, but I was going more for the Black Blade. The Whole Sword. Though admittedly, Stormbringer is the best elder evil ever.

[Siosilvar]

Carsomyr.
Varscona.
The Equalizer.
Namarra.
Azuredge.
The Answerer.
Ilbratha.
Ixil's Spike.
Lilarcor.
Crom Faeyr.
Water's Edge.
Strong Arm.
Heartseeker.

Firetooth.
Axe of the Unyielding.

...yeah, Baldur's Gate II had a lot of epic weapons.

And, one of my own:
The Black Eagle's Blade.

EDIT:
Cortana.
Joyeuse.
Almace.
Tyrfing.
Mjolnir.

Head-Kicker (metal-tipped boots/footwear)

Tripper (spiked chain)- If someone asks, just keep tripping

Face Puncher (gauntlet)

Gut Stabber [Stabby]

Neck Slasher

Stabby

Throat Cutter

Arm Chopper [Choppy]

Bone Masher

Salsa Maker

Finisher (finisher? I don't even know her!)


Rule Zero: The phrase "What I Say, Goes." is found inscribed in red glowing runes on one side of the blade. The other side bears the weapon's name.

[Ryu_Bonkosi]

A personal favorite of mine for when you are getting +6 attacks a round is 'Blitzkrieg'. (+2 vorpal (something) of speed).

[GoatBoy]

This website I use (http://donjon.bin.sh/name/#weapon) provided this list of weapon names.

Wicked Tyrant
Fallen Vengeance
Waraxe
Ghoullance
Divine Fate
Nightaxe
Skullclaw
Hellish Devastator
Hallowed Cruelty
Warcrusher

Castle of the Winds (http://www.exmsft.com/~ricks/) suggests you name your favourite sword "Anthrax."

When all else fails, go with Latin. (http://www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/frivs/latin/latin-dict-full.html)

[Thiyr]

I'm disappointed. I was expecting a reference to this (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=2870&type=card).

[Immonen]

I used to fight in Belegarth (http://belegarth.com/) a few years back, and our favorite weapons got some interesting names.

Battleaxe- Nippledoom
Short sword- Hobbit's Friend
Javelin- Marvinbane
Flail- Whatshield

And so forth.

[Cieyrin]

I'm disappointed. I was expecting a reference to this (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=2870&type=card).

You wouldn't be if you'd read the Elric Saga. More than likely, that card is another homage to Elric and Stormbringer.

[Anderlith]

Dawn, Sword of the Morning. (& any who wield it takes the name as their title, i.e. Ser Arthur Dayne, Sword of the Morning)

[Archpaladin Zousha]

Trying to think of some more "Exalted" sounding names, if you will. So far the only one I can think of is:

Eighteenfold Blinding Light

[Yukitsu]

I named a mechanical weapon system with 4 AI's Melchoir, Balthasar, Casper and Polaris. The three subservient AI all followed Polaris.

[Midnight_v]

I have 3 actually 2 serious 1 funny.
The weapon for my brothers most advanced char was named:

"The Million Plus" it was a polearm that in our game world was owned by some legendary warrior of "the first world" called "The Million" after it was used to kill that many people

So when it fell into my brothers hands He added "Plus" as It would be 1 million the lives it claimed at his hands so:
The Million Plus (sadly I don't remeber its exact enchants)

My weapon was named:
"Anathema"
It was a +4 Undead/Abberation/Evil Outsider/Monstrous Humanoid/Magical Beast/Valorous Guisarme. Which I just wanted it to be useful as much as possible.

finally the joke weapon was

Gyz
a venomous, vampiric, lucky shortsword. I think thats its. You have to envision it. pretty bad.
Good times though.

[Thalnawr]

Could always go with some other classics.

Woundhealer
Sightblinder
Stonecutter
Farslayer
Mindsword
Coinspinner
Wayfinder
Shieldbreaker
Doomgiver
Dragonslicer
Townsaver
Soulcutter

[Thurbane]

Unmaker: a sword that has the ability to permanently kill anything.

[RedWarrior0]

-The <Bird>'s Beak/Talon: Bonus if you use something like Swan's Beak
-The Emerald Sword
-Scourge of Humanity/Scourge of the Gods/Dragonscourge/Scourge of the Abyss
-Weeping Edge
-Fimbulvinter/Fimbulwinter for a cold-themed weapon
-Famine, Pestilence, Death, and War, for a quartet of legendary weapons
-Sword of the Mourning: Yes, that spelling
-Dawn/High Noon/Dusk/Midnight for another quartet of weapons
-Full Moon and New Moon, for a pair of weapons
-Heaven Piercer
-To continue with the stealing of George R. R. Martin's stuff, how about a pair of swords called "Blood" and "Fire"; not in-universe weapons (that we know of), but relevant
-Another pair could be Horror and Terror
-Sword of Swords

[Volthawk]

In the Skype game I'm in, the scythe my character uses is called the Reaper's Blade. It's an artefact on Nerull, and apparently with the right rituals and the like, it will get more powerful. At max power, it can kill anything, even concepts. We haven't got that far, mind. It's currently just a +1 scythe, and we're level 3/4.

[Knaight]

-The <Bird>'s Beak/Talon: Bonus if you use something like Swan's Beak

I favor the bird names for martial arts moves. Landing Crane, Soaring Swan, Sitting Duck (Some sort of stun), so on and so forth.

[TheLaz0rSquid]

I was inspired to not only to make up a name, but also some stories! Enjoy.

Soulbreaker
A heavy mace wrought of black iron, with cruel spikes jutting at odd angles all over it, wielded by a truely inhuman looking nightmare of a creature beyond the recognition of mortal senses.
While the weapon's shape is quite menacing in itself and its bearer is a, the true terror of this weapon doesn't come from its mundane qualities, but the unholy spell cast upon it. Whenever it strikes true, the cursed weapon rips its victims' soul into shreds, sealing their fate with one blow.
Even when the victim survives the fight and kills the macebearer, they are doomed into losing every inch of their humanity. With each passing fortnight, they become colder, crueler and more unfeeling towards all they hold dear. Their bodies get turned into continuously more monstrous shapes. Once their transformation is complete, they seek out Soulbreaker and fight its bearer for possession of the unholy weapon.
If a creature untouched by Soulbreaker's curse where to slay its bearer, they could claim the weapon for their own.The curse would still linger, though. So they better make sure to kill everyone they strike, lest they beget a legion of new horrors. And they always need to be prepared for another monstrosity to reclaim the weapon...

[mauk2]

What are some epic weapon names that all of us DMs can use in our campaigns or that we can name our characters' swords.

The best name I ever heard was from Gene Wolfe's The Shadow of the Torturer:

Terminus Est

Some that I've used:

Helhamar
Foehamar


The Invincible Brand of Scouring Light

Abyssal

Regency

The Scourge

[Malimar]

I don't tend to name weapons, allowing my players to do that if they desire, but here are two:

The greatsword Steak Knife: +1 animal-bane greatsword which also bypasses vampire/vampire spawn DR and acts as a wooden stake for vampire-related purposes. It is a sort of pun, you see.

Also the machete Untetherer: +1 undead-bane short sword. If it hits any controlled undead, the controller must make a DC18 Will save or the undead is no longer controlled. If wielded by a character who can turn undead, the machete grants 1 extra turn attempt per day.

[Gildedragon]

Pacifier
Treaty
Last Resort
Last Word (as in "I got the Last Word in")
Ploughshares
Chanticler
Nameless
Gladio Ignotum

[MisterKaws]

Holy Wrath was the name of a joke weapon I made once for a game I DMed, though I never got to use it. The thing itself was an Over-deity, and could effectively erase the existence of anything the wielder pointed it at, if they could even manage to, with the over-100 ego.

[A_S]

Read this thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?386752-Help-me-name-a-sword!).

My favorite from it was Heartbreak.

*edit* Goddamn, it was Red Fel's suggestion? Does he ever stop making excellent posts?

[Telonius]

The Scissors of Atropos. Major artifact, used to put an end to undead threads. (Holy threadomancy, guys - five years?)

[Âmesang]

When there's no more room in Hell's Archives…

I once statted out a high-level succubus wielding a shocking, unholy, zombie-creating spiked chain named Thunder Kiss.

Also statted out a worm that walks with an ice-based, necromantic staff called Winter's Chill (although instead of being a quarterstaff as tradition, it was a scythe).

I've plans on playing a cleric of St. Cuthbert who seeks to create a replica of his lord's weapon called The Fool's Mace.

An unholy, good outsider bane red steel dagger named Angel's Tear has come to mind, as well.

…I also really want to have an adamantine katana named Ginsu. :smalltongue:

[Uhtred]

The great hero-architect Ted Mosby refers to his feet as "Common Sense" and "The Voice of Reason." Because he's a kicker. I admit to having a pair of Twin Hooks in my campaign with those names.

[Lycanthrope13]

Caladbolg

Famous sword from Irish mythology. I think it translates to "Hard Lightning"

[A_S]

(Holy threadomancy, guys - five years?)
Oh god I didn't notice the date :smallsigh:

[Traitoreous]

Since neither I or my players are native english, I name basically anything in my campaigns with obscure english words. It is hilarious to hear players talk about an NPC called abomasum. For english people I'd probably use a funny language like Swedish or Finnish. (No offence, but some of the words are really funny...)
