Ok I'm creating a custom Katana for evil characters and trying to find the right name is difficult.
A little information on some of its powers, it has a chance on the killing blow to steal some of the opponent's soul. Resulting in some kind of stat or thaco increase. So with this in mind I've been trying to think of a name and looking at the weapon names in TOB.
Names I have thought about using,
Devils Own
Green Destiny
Devil's Advocate
Hand of Bhaal
Soulblade
Deadly Sin
Soulforge (as I love Dragonlance)

Any other good names you can think of?
Do you like any of these?
Which TOB weapon names do you like?

How about "Big Daddys Stick"? ;)

Has a ring to it, but doesn't sound evil. :)

soulsucker:)

How about some of these

Dredd blade
Ex Con
Devil's play toy
Soul skinner
Hell's Fury

ExCon :D

That's some mighty fine referencin'

How about Messatsu No Kenma, Demon Sword of Slaughter?

Try Suelothvar

Wu-tang Shaolin abbot orcslicer.

How about the giant space hamster bane...

Heres another one

Ultrakoolmegagiantdemonvampirezuperslayingchaoticg enocideblade

How high does your lore need to be to identify that sword, or your INT to even read or even pronounce it?

your lore would have to be about a million.

i will say it slowly for all the rejects out there.

Ultra kool mega giant demon vampire zuper slaying chaotic genocide blade

i hope that makes much sense, but to really to confuse you, here it is backwards.

Edalbediconegcitoahcgniyalsrepuzeripmavnomedtnaiga gemlookartlu.

Now how do you pronounce that?

Soulblade, eh? An old (but wicked) game. "The gruelling battle ended with the victory of ... Cervantes. (Heavy breathing) Offer your spirit...." Heh...

But I digress ... How about giving it some sort of background and attaching it to a character? Then it could have a name like "Kujiro's Spirit Flayer" or whatever, obviously changing the name according to what you call the weapon's previous owner/creator/victim etc.

Mmmm sounds good Will!
Deathmaster's Ultrakoolmegagiantdemonvampirezuperslayingchaoticg enocideblade

Hertzdurst - any germans care to translate?

Coldfire - Sword of Gerald Tarant of... cant rememer WHAT books he's in, oh yeah, The Coldfire Trilogy!

Red Smile - What they offten call a slit throat

Blood of the Innocent - just sounds cool

Searer of Souls

How about that?

Ara
(Stomach... hurts... schhool... hurts... I am starting to repeat myself here...)

Hurtzdurtz

That just has a real nice sound to it. I mean, if you're not German, and you say it, you wonder, 'Am I pronouncing this right or what?'. Create a background, and perhaps a character to go with it, that way you'll have an awesome all round weapon. Some of those weapons that you buy from the Bonus Merchants have just an exeedingly LAME backing. In ToB, there is also a serious lack of storyline. Top marks to Lilacor to have a full one!

Are there any famous swords in the FR?
If so which are worth recreating?

I was thinking "Souldrinker" or "Soulsucker" would be a rellly cool name for it.

Hertzdurst (spelled correctly Herzdurst) would mean Heartthirst translated straight although it wont make sense in german right away ;)

If you want to go that line what about 'Herzensbrecher'?

It would usually mean something like breaker of hearts and most would picture a guy leaving lots of crying women behind but if you think of a weapon....

How about "cry of war" or "Redemption"

What about Arabwel? Everytime it hacks something, it makes an odd comment in parenthesis or complains about its post count ;)

Mathetais
(trying to figure out why Arabwel does this, brain hurts)

Die Hand Die Vertlezt.

50 imaginary bonus posts who can figure what that means. (but it's not a particulary good name for a katana, but perhaps an evil weapon :rolleyes: )

Die Hand, die verletzt

The hand which hurts/wounds - yay! 50 points
what did I win? :)

Yup. Imagine yourself as a Gibberling now, and 15 more posts to become an imaginary Kobold. :)

How about

Umrathama
Reaper's Mercy
Hunter's Edge

and of courrse, the ultimate in evil weaponry.

the POT NOOODLE-ATOR

How about something in Latin? Can't think of anything at the moment. But there must be some famous swords in Greek or Roman mythology. If i could just remember some.
I hope someone else knows more Latin.
Euh...
Heh, what about ferrum Sicari, meaning sword of the stealth assasin. Or something like that.

Well, I don't recommend Latin, it's not very suited for fantasy. All military words make you think about armies, not heroes. I once went through a period of insanity and tried to create a text-CRPG in Latin. It really sucked - no decent name.

Greek would be far better, also because it attaches words like German. I suggest "Psykeros" (ie "soul-love", which makes sense if you remember that the Greek considered love nothing more than desire)

How about
Xenomurxicon?:evil:

In the great tradition of pixieprick:

Pecker
Wimpy
Weiner
Dickiesword


:D

Mat, you know I have to take revenge on you at some point?

But on the other hand, LOL!

There is another suggestion that just popped to me:

Sickness of Soul?

Ara
(who is currently hitting herself on the head for not looking at the thread earlier)

Well if you want someting goofy...try:
Smurf Bane
for long, hard to say names:
Suppereivlsoulsuckingblade
and for serious names:
Demon's Heart

Call it IcingDeath and make it so it has somethign like a 25% chance of casting cone of cold on succsefull hit

Come ON use Smurf Bane!!!! Make the color glow blue....with a 25% chance of being turned into a smurf!!!!!! :lol: :rolling: :lol:

Oh yeah! And then use the Xvart avatar. :almostmad: <- hey that looks exactly like a Xvart!

How abou 'Thirst of the Lich' as all a Lich wants for Christmas is a soul, as they have none of their own

How about:
Teeth of Ixol
Naparaa's Spike
Noirog de'Neomi
Soul Reaver
Dremoloch's Spine (or) Spine of Dremoloch
Lotazni a'Gordu
Adalon's Tail

I want to know with what tool you made the katana. About the name - try the "Nojica za Nokti". In my language (bulgarian) the translate is very fun and it sounds good.

Bob

here are some pretty cool names...

wraithblade
claw of devastation
runefang
blade of lichen soul-suckyness (ran out of ideas :p)

Ivantora, it was probably made in IEEP (infinity engine explorer pro), get it from www.TeamBg.com (http://www.TeamBg.com)

I downloaded the editor, but the archive is damaged. This is version 103.
