I need help naming things.

[ekarney]

As the title, I'm currently working on some homebrew classes (A couple are reasonably playable)
However, I'm having issues coming up with names for class features.
Currently I need names for:
A Flagellant style class, (Limited divine casting, has rage a heap of Con based features)
3 Different styles of Native American style classes, ones a mounted horde warrior, the other a tracker who gains magical bonuses from warpaint (Similar system to binding), and a ranger-esque class.
A raider style shock trooper.

Any help would be appreciated, hell even if you want to suggest class abilities that'll be cool, bt I got most of them covered.

what kind of vibe or flavor do you want for these?

flagellant: cenobite, penitent, petitioner, supplicant
mounted guy: need more detail
tracker: pathfinder, painted shaman,
ranger: need more detail
shock trooper: need more detail

The Penitent.

1) The Thoroughbred (or Horseborn)

2) The Shadow Wolf

3) Sometimes you just have to call a Ranger a Ranger.



A raider style shock trooper.


Make it an homage to Firefly...

The Browncoat.

Or, make it an homage to the USMC...

The Jarhead.

ooooh, I like those flagellant names!

I've actually got class names for these classes, just not feature names,
The shock troopers deal is to basically get the biggest weapon he can find, and gets bonuses for being adjacent to as many enemies as possible.
the Ranger is pretty basic, tracking, hunting skills, it's only there to allow early access into one of the other 2 classes related to it.
The names are
Flagellant (Pending, I wanna add something to the end, maybe in latin
Wild Horse (Mounted guy)
White Horse (ranger)
Dead Horse, though I might change that to avoid any jokes that come from entering melee combat with it(The tracker/binder dude)
Merit's Marauder

why so you did. I read too quickly and thought you wanted names for the classes.

okay, if you could list features, I could give you better advice. naming things is something of a speciality of mine.

The fact that he's asking for help picking names for his american indian themed classes at all means this is something he's trying to avoid rather than just calling them something that you would deem offensive.

if it's of such great concern to you, how about you actually try to help him?

Keep in mind, these classes are essentially pre-alpha at the moment, I heaven't gotten around to testing them yet. so if anything looks horribly cheesey and broken drop me a PM about it and I'll work on it, most of the class features are named, but they're placeholders, since some of my players were interested in playtesting them

Flagellant: https://goo.gl/Ylvffs
White Horse/Ranger: https://goo.gl/d3LXG0
Wild Horse/Mounted PrC: https://goo.gl/VCMVr2
Dead Horse/Tracker: https://goo.gl/5lviKJ

Feel free to comment on the abilities, just via PM please.

I kind of like Lightfoot for the aboriginal ranger type guy, War Rider for the mounted horde warrior and Stormbrave for the warpaint warrior.
