Hey Mike, I do a lot of homebrewing subclasses. I was wondering, how much of your time is looking at a thesaurus? Half of my design process is dealing with naming conventions Fair amount – trick is finding something that is unique but captures the tone you need. Historical studies – like books from Osprey – are also useful to pick up all sorts of weird terms.
