07-15-06, 04:19 AM I am going to be playing a Gnome in the Forgotten Realms setting who is going to be focused on creating constructs. I will be taking feats, skills and Prc's to emphasize and make things such as Golems, Effigys, Gondsmen, etc. I want to brand each of them with an image that represents the characters family name. But I don't know what that family name should be. I am using a black wolf as the image, but Blackwolf sounds way too obvious. I was thinking that this characters grandfather was a famous adventurer who acquired the symbol and surname through his deeds and passed it on to his son and grandson; now my character wants to mark his creations with it as a signature of sorts. Unfortunately, I am not good at coming up with names that don't sound silly.

07-17-06, 05:08 AM Well, you could pull a Prince...

Seriously, since gnomes love riddles, why not try a name that only sort of hints at a black wolf. How about Ebonware? Jetware? Something ending in -ware certainly. It ties strongly into your artificer class while forming a right groaner with "ware wolf". :rimshot:

Actually if I'm not all wrong I think Ware is derived from the latin word for "Man".

07-21-06, 12:03 PM Not really. The "were" in werewolf is, coming from the Old English "wer", but "ware" comes from the old english "wær", meaning aware, truth, affection, or agreement.

It's a pun. Etymology be damned!
