Few Questions

Ok, just some things I am preparing...

What's a good name for summons, FFX used Aeons, so I'm looking for a good name, NOT gods!


I'm going to be using Valkyrie as a female class, what abilities or 'tendancies' would you prefer to have?

I'm also open to any class suggestions for this open RPG, please state Male or Female and what they do, etc.

Currently I have-

Male-
Paladin - Auras, Healing, Stun Spells
Monk - Summoning, Healing, Buffs
Barbarian - Uses unique rage system, Dual wield, normal barbarian.
Druid - Can shapeshift, Nature Spells.

Female-
Valkyrie - ?????
Sorceress - Uses the elements to damage her foes. Wind, Fire, Ice, Lightning, etc.
Ranger - Attacks from a distance, can summon a familar. Uses bows
Rogue - Uses traps, stealth and poison. Weapons are claws.


The only other idea I have would be a mindbender type hero that manipulates the mind, but I can't think of a name unless I named him Mindbender, it would be Male, since they need a more offensive caster..... which I don't know. Also, if you want give me spell ideas for each class.

So if you can help me with my first questions, give me class ideas, or spell ideas, it'd be great.

Thanks

If you wanted to be true to the idea, you could do some research on the Valkyries in Norse mythology.

On the other hand, celtic druids didn't really shapeshift, and very few people use claws as honest-to-goodness weapons, but that doesn't mean they're not interesting.

Well, Didn't know valks were Norse, Thanks, I'll look into it.

Who says their Celtic? :D

They use claws because I want them to use claws, it's more interesting than everyone running around with swords. My monks are going to use Brass Knuckles..... very few actual warrios use that, but my monks do.

Thanks for feedback though, I'm thinking of making the Valk be the main Dual-Weapon wielder, and the barb be the big bad axe slayer polearm guy/

Thanks

I like espers, (Old FF I know)

It would be better if we could get something related to monk stuff, such as revilval or healing or something. but for now I will use espers since there will be plenty of time to change.

If the monk is the only one who summons, some good names for the abilities would be:

Disciplines
Powers
Techniques
Prayers
Arts

And some names for the creatures themselves would be:

Projections(or Ki/Chi Projections)
Spirits
Ancient Masters
Guardians


Such as using a Prayer to summon one of the Ancient Masters, or Projecting the monk's Power into solid form, or the Art of calling Spirits, etc.
