Master Warrior class name
What's a good name for a "Master Warrior" type, like if the kensei monk were the default class instead of an archetype (Master is taken by another in the set, so that's out of the question), The expert fighter and master of on-field strategy, acrobatic and agile combatant that is one with their blade

I like to create builds and see them as optimized as powerful. I also have an annoying habit of having gratuitous character ideas and used to regularly ask to switch them out, or ask for small, against-the-rules, caveats to see a character come to completion without being hopelessly useless.
While I have kicked a few of these habits, or at least slowed them, I try to keep all of my builds/ideas across as few, as official, and as popular rulebooks as possible as to avoid annoying everyone else.

Re: Master Warrior class name
They are more akin to a monk than a barbarian, as the warlord is, but it's flavorfuly close. Warlord just conjures images of militaries and wars than I want.

Re: Master Warrior class name
these too are on the right track, but I'd rather not tie it to a particular culture/region, or lift it out of a D&D book Originally Posted by Old Harry MTX

Re: Master Warrior class name
Warlord was gonna be my go to. Hell, it's what 4e used for a martial bfc/tank/healer. Kinda covered the battlefield ruler role very well. Originally Posted by Lvl 2 Expert

Re: Master Warrior class name
Your description sounds like the modern usage of myrmidon as an evasive swordsman. 5e dnd has elementals based on this concept in Princes Of The Apocalypse.

Re: Master Warrior class name
Okay. What does my example of the usage have to do with whether the term fits? Originally Posted by stewstew5

Re: Master Warrior class name
Sorry, even while writing that I knew it was a bit blunt. I thought you were encouraging me to find in-game sources instead of making my own under the impression that this was for some sort of dnd homebrew Originally Posted by sandmote

Re: Master Warrior class name
I don't think that was so much blunt as vague. Originally Posted by stewstew5

If you want a suggestion of an entirely unique name, I suggest Omc8wnebagi. No one reading it will get any inkling of what the term might refer to, but hey, it isn't taken from any existing source.
Otherwise, maybe sift through some books, games, game systems, movies, Homeric epics, or other existing works to get or modify a term from (Within copyright law, of course). As mentioned, I think Myrmidon is an appropriate option matching your initial description, given the modern usage of the term (in contrast to the medieval and classical usages).
