>>Dred Scot was a freed slave.

Dred Scott... and yes, I know. That's why I added the bit about persecution and indignity or whatever terms I used were. Not sure whether you were trying to correct me or just add a bit more to the general historical trivia. Either way, just to be clear, no offense was intended in my previous post.

I don't think it fits because I don't see Barbarians as indigified or persecuted. If that makes sense? Don't mean to tread on toes here. Just explaining why it didn't quite fit. Of course if you mean you do that to others...perhaps a different coinage? That particular title isn't in genre since there are no Scots or Scotts in the game, that I know of.

Just my two kronars.

haha. I see what happened now.

Sorry, the first part of that post was intended as a joke, not a serious suggestion. I suppose I should have made that a bit more clear. :)

Sorry for the confusion.

There are a lot of items in DR that make no sense (i.e. kimonos and saris for one), but I don't think we need titles that refer to that ooc-ness.

Of course if you used something more racial it would probably end up in the racial folders.

Like Skulksadabru which means 'Fear the Dwarf' in Haakish, if I have the syntax right (there is no Haakish word for dread).

>>Yeah, this would be nice. I'm not going to worry about Death Dealer till I at least have Dragon Dance, but it would be really neat if there were stepping stones on the way to Death Dealer. I'd only be a few ranks of staff sling shy of the first one, would get that right away.<<

I would suggest anyone thinking of going for this title to stop, it is way too hard and long to get it...
...read I want it to myself :)

>>weapon master titles for 50 and 100

These would be nice and I requested them quite some time ago as well.

Aurdurn, I know you're extremely busy but after the actual selection of appropriate titles, wouldn't this be a pretty simple and quick add on? ALOT of people want this...

Nice, thanks Aurdun!

So does anyone want to offer up possible titles?

50:
100:
150: Death Dealer
200: Death's Messenger
250: Weapon Master
300: Master Of Death! :)


Going along the same lines as dealer and messenger, there could be:

Death's Agent
Death Bearer
Death Dispatcher
Death's Prophet
Death's Precursor
Death's Hand
Death's Voice
Death's Breath
Hand of Death
Breath of Death
Voice of Death
Death Whisperer
Death Bringer
Officer of Death
Death Director
Death Overseer
Death Foreman
Death Taskmaster
Death's Pupil
Death Follower
Death's Adviser

Maulem's
Death's Student
Death's Disciple
Death Usher

I would like to add that weapon master titles could open multiple titles per feat. For example getting 100 in all weapons could open up 3 titles etc.

While I love those title suggestions for a weaponmaster.

And I hate to be off topic, but can Paladins get the "White Knight" title and Barbarians get the "Dark Knight" title?

We all know which one survived in the end of the movie, too. :P

If you want to see a neat little vein start to pulse in Aurdun's forehead just mention brawling heels with gouging damage and Femme Nikita type titles. No love for the skirt wearing barb chicks, I'm telling ya.

On weapon master type titles the first ones that actually come to my mind are Insanely Disciplined and Fanatically Patient. I am sort of skilled at backtraining due to constantly changing my mind on weapon and armor choices but I can't bring myself to actually start training all the weapon classes so yah I think anyone that does it deserves a title for it as low as 50 ranks as well.

Thank you for being willing to look at more titles and add it to your ever growing list, Aurdun. You know we love you.

Thanks Maulem, Things are going as well as can...His bone marrow transplant is scheduled for the 22nd. I actually play a decent amount from the hospital room now. (I live there...probably for atleast another 2 months) But since I get pulled away alot I haven't really done many of the funner things in DR...I almost was going to make the trip to Crossing for pit night last night but I didn't.

Anyways, my foraging and swimming are soaring!

Nope. At the last Estate-holders meeting, the GMs told us they were working on a Swimmable Segoltha.

How so?

And to make sure this is on topic also, how about a title for those that have certain ranks in climbing, swimming and certain rank in weapons:

Wandering Warrior, Nomadic Hordesman

You trader-types should band together and fund a bridge then. Preferrably one WITHOUT RT.

Axesmith,
Weaponsmith,
Blacksmith,
Blade Crafter,

...etc.

Just a couple for fun.
