Completed List of Character Titles


3.5/d20/OGL


I have been working on this list for a little bit of time

I finally finished it

Our group was tired of asking for a a 13th level cleric for a reserection instead they can ask for an Archbishop

That was one of our main reasons for this list sick of asking by level I know this is not a perfect system with Multiclass and Prestige classes but give it a look tell me what you think of the differnt names

Thanks in advance

Wow dude, you're not joking about having spent a while on this. I'm going to use some of these myself I think.

I notice you haven't done the Adept. Couldn't you think of any suitable names, or did you deliberately leave it out?

I think that the vast majority of these are very good. I still stand by my comments on the other thread about 5th-level Apprentices and 20th-level Commoners though.


I dont use Adepts in my game

And if you look at the 20th level commoner its kinda a joke a Citizen as in Rome the greatest honor was to be one and in Star Ship trooper everyone wanted to be a citizen


Beyond that I like the idea of not calling someone by their class but having their title allude to it,

Nice list.

Fair enough.

I see, that kind of makes sense; in ancient Rome an outsider had to complete 20 years military service to achieve Citizenship. So if you're going to call them anything, I guess it should be that :)

Well done, Joey. Thanks for this contribution to our community, and to my game. I've often used Gary Gygax's suggested titles, and at least always use titles of my own in games—opting to never allow "level" to enter game-speak. Thanks for this well thought-through list!
