Old Thread:
Just pick a sound that matches roughly where the character's from in my head.
Vitalist (Sadist, Life Leech) with the Soulthief method, gestalted with a Malefex. Curse your enemies, steal their life, drain out their very souls to fuel your Dark Magics as you laugh at their cursed withering.
Now to just figure out how to flavor that up for ROTJR. Tempted to make them an aasimar for the hilarity of it. Maybe a foundling alongside Nualia?
>How do you name your characters?
I figure out what ethnic group their homeland correlates with, and then figure out a name that fits the character personality.
For example, "Silas" fits a rogue much more than "Valerian."
From the Gary Gygax Extraordinary Book of Names, or whatever is in the Core Rulebook.
>How do you name your characters?
I use the same 5-7 names over and over that I have since I was a child.
Pick a culture
Insert a name
And Cialis is pretty fitting for a bard if you know what I mean.
All my characters come from a very long line of great adventurers, beginning with the greatest wizard of 3e Articus Excelian, to the brave paladin of 4e Sir Solas Excelian to the young soulknife of PF Everett Excelian.
my DM can't help but cringe sometimes - especially when the uneducated orc barb hails from 'clan excelian'
Anagrams. I've used Adam Sandler in various anagrams for a couple games and nobody has noticed. I'm not doing it for my next couple games because I think someone might have caught onto it after my last game. Don't look up actual Adam sandler anagrams.
Seriously though find the culture and something that suits it then pick a name of someone else and shift letters around until it sounds like a name from the culture and you'll do great user!!
