Ninjas...

i've seen it mentioned a few times on the forums lately, and i have to agree....ninjas have horrible titles. i also agree with renaming them to assassins, because that is after all what they are.

i'm gonna get a skill list right now and make some suggestions, let's get a "best of" list going for rank titles.

first off, i know these are a little cheesy and maybe not that great. but somebody's got to get the ball rolling. feel free to make your own suggestions/revisions. i've checked these for conflicts with all classes but blademasters, i don't have their titles.

i'll edit this list as better suggestions come along. i hope there are many

Ninja titles are fine. Get over it.

Wow. It's an idea. Chill, Mya.

it's bloody hard coming up with 50 new titles. it's interesting to note that in the FL code the ninja class is referred to as the Assassin class already

I completely, completely agree. Ninja titles/the classname itself has always cheesed me off.

I like the attractiveness of the ninja class, and the more unique element it offers to the MUD. However, I do not think that it was executed with due justice, and it lessens both the environment and the general idea of ninja for it. Almost exactly what hollywood does...ruins the reputation but uses it because it has mass appeal.

Blademasters need to either be renamed to Kensai or have their titles and ill-fitting stance names changed. Half and half does not work for either route you want (hollywood or accuracy).
