Title Suggestion 01/01/2007 10:50 PM CST
Wave Master
The ability to master sound means that one must also master the things that comprise sound--frequency and wavelength. With the mastery of these two elements, a Bard is able to, later in his or her career, master the other forms of energy waves. Using his or her ability to exponentially increase the frequency of sound, a Bard is able to create and manipulate radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and finally gamma and gravitational waves in order of increasing difficulty, all of which are electromagnetic waves. One could only hope to attain this level through mastery of his or her own voice and wave manipulating prowess. Requirements: 800 vocals skill(mastery level), 600 musical lore skill(genius level), 80 charisma, 60 discipline.

A few of these are already titles, though they may be in other categories like performance or general edged or specific edged. I'm thinking specifically of Bladesinger and actor/actress, but I think a couple of the others exist as well.

I'd have to look after I get home, unless someone beats me to it.

It isn't always easy to find all the titles, the way they're categorized now :)

And for what it's worth, I do like several of the suggestions and I'm sure some of them don't exist anywhere yet :)

I want more bad arse lore-based titles.

The only one that really strikes me now is 'Harmony Rider' but I don't own a horse.

Something like Siren of Death, Death's Voice, Performer of Pain, really morbid stuff would be cool.

"Bard" is a gender-neutral term, so there's no such word as "Bardess." Hence, why it's not a title. Get over it, really. ;-)

That isn't that bad. When the time gets up into the range of an hour, that's where it gets iffy. That's one example among other things that I will never understand.

Bardarian or Bardbarian--I'm cool with either.

Traditionally, Bards have joked about being Bardarians, which is where the suggestion comes from, but honestly now that you bring it up, I like the ring of how Bardbarian sounds. The two B's give it a soft flow off the tongue.

Tell you the truth I hate this suggestion. What's the point of refering to another guild with a title that is supposed to show a bard's weapon's prowess. Are highly weapon trained bards simply barabrians who do not have a serious magic phobia?
I don't think rangers would care for a rangbarian title, nor paladines would like palbarian likewise I simply detest the idea of having a bardbarian title.
I'd rather have a unique title. How about Champion?

Re: Single Title Suggestion 05/28/2008 12:54 PM CDT
I would like to see Redeemer as a title, actually. Maybe some high vocal/magic/defense requirements along with knowledge of Redeemer's Pride?

Redeemer
- Must know Redeemer's Pride Enchante.
- 200 Highest worn armor
- 350 vocals
- 200 PM/Harness

Siren
- 500 vocals
- 300 PM/Harness
- Must know Call of the Siren enchante.

Guardian
- Must know Demrris' Resolve (maybe Sanctuary as well?)
- 200 Highest Weapon
- 200 Highest worn armor
(This is a reference to the origins of the enchante, where often the guardians of Prydaen Hubs were Bards and Resolve was used to chase away invaders)

Resolute
- Must know Demrris' Resolve and Naming of Tears enchantes
- 30 discipline
- 30 charisma

I agree Siltoth, and I wouldn't actually use the title myself as I am not barbaric.

However, that is the point of titles. Not everyone uses every title, and there's a title for everyone. The fact that this title would exist and you would not use it truly signifies something about you--You are not barbaric either.

Surely there are some Bards out there who are more combat oriented than I, who are also savage in nature--The music-oriented version of a Barbarian. Otherwise I wouldn't even be suggesting this title to begin with, because I've heard it quoted from these very boards on several occasions.

The term bardbarian has been largly adopted as slang to bards whose focus on combat is very intense. It suggests very much that these bards are acting a lot like guilded barbarians, which differs from savages who like their beastly nature. On that note, if you had suggested allowing bards to have the title Savage, I would have had no problem, that is completely different. While I have no objections to hearing anyone label his character that way in game, I think at some point you have to draw the line, and having a title that suggests you are more akin to one guild than your own is crossing the line in my opinion. I think it's demeaning to the concept of the bard guild.

As an analogy, imagine someone suggesting that a certain unit of marines be nicknamed Marangers from now on, because they trained themselves real well as a quick reaction force (Disclaimer, this is an analogy and my familiarity with U.S armed forces is limited, so if I'm getting the exact details a bit wrong, no one jump on me yes?). I'd imagine those marines be rather pissed about the suggestion.
