Felonious Monk 06-22-04, 02:53 AM	What slang do you use to describe character classes? "Meatstick" or "Tank" for a fighter? "Thief" for a rogue? "Nancy Boy" for a bard? "Healing Battery" for a cleric? What are some of the cleverest names for the classes?
Tanuki, the Bewildered 06-22-04, 07:31 AM	Any beefy melee type (Typically Fighters or Barbs) are Meat-shields. Spellcasters are Fingerwagglers.
Salla 06-22-04, 07:37 AM	Any character that is primarily a melee combatant is called a Beatstick.
Darth K'Trava 06-22-04, 05:35 PM	"Tank" for fighters "Veg-O-Matics" for two-weapon-fighting rangers "Priests" for clerics (not much difference here...) I think that's all I can think of....
Jongluer 06-22-04, 10:08 PM	Anyone who takes Damage, a Tank or meat-shield Clerics-Priests (Though I got one which can't be posted) Wizards and Sorcerers-Those who have no hp and should stay in the back line Druids and Rangers- Very useful Hippies Paladins- A waste, become a Blackguard Fighter- Hey you, I need you to kill something Barbarian-You stand in front of the spellcasters, and stay there! Bard-Ultimate Support! Rogue-Thief, person who disappears from plane sight
Angel_Azriel 06-22-04, 10:28 PM	Let's see. There's "Minstrel" for bard (not too inventive, I know), "Beaters" for fighters/TWF rangers, "Free Action Potion with Legs" for priests, "Self-righteous, egotistical megalomaniacs" for paladins and monks, and "Wavy-hands guys" for spellcasters.
Candide 06-22-04, 10:40 PM	fighter or cleric in full plate = Tank Dwarf in full plate = Keg or Keg of Whoop***** gnome or halfling in full plate = tin can Elf = Nancy Boy
Angel_Azriel 06-22-04, 10:42 PM	Originally posted by Candide Dwarf in full plate = Keg or Keg of Whoop***** I always called that "Dwarf in a Can," but that's just me.
Salla 06-23-04, 02:29 AM	Ah yes ... if you have more than one character with Divine Spellcasting in the party at the same time, they are collectively known as The God Squad.
Sulaco 06-23-04, 12:48 PM	Fighter - Thud Machine Wizard or Sorcerer - Spellslinger Cleric - God Botherer Rogue - "Come back here you thieving little bastard!" Monk - Grasshopper Barbarian - Bear Throttler Bard - The Tra-La-La Kid Ranger - Natureboy Paladin - Tin Pants Druid - Treehugger
EvilDuck 06-23-04, 10:05 PM	Fighter- Fleshwall Spellcaster- Nuker
Darth K'Trava 06-24-04, 07:45 PM	Any spellcaster with those nice nifty "blowing up stuff" spells: Nuker A cleric can also be called a "tank", especially at higher levels. Paladin: Detect-Evil-O-Meter and Smite-Em Cowboy! Rogue: Sneakabout
CooperHawkes 06-24-04, 09:33 PM	we had a heavyset character at one point who wore plate armor, we called him "Spam" but he obviously didnt like it much
vampeel 06-25-04, 02:41 PM	Bard - the "Sword Catcher" Dwarf Fighter - Reiching Ball Ranger - "Call the Medic" Wizard - "OMG not the fireball" Rogue - BSer Paladin - "Now What!?!" Gnome - "GG-nomer" Cleric Tower Shield - "The Door"
Darth K'Trava 06-25-04, 06:23 PM	Ranger - "Call the Medic" Ain't that the truth!! Mine's been near death's door about a half dozen times and dead twice! :eek: And a friend's in a different game has been nearly dead about once a session (5 times). They shoulda kept that d10 hit die for them as most of ours' get in the thick of combat like a fighter.
RobTzu 06-25-04, 08:36 PM	We had a wizard specialised in Enchantment we called him ~ Tim.
