NiGHTMARE Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 "Paladinling" sounds a bit clumsy; maybe she should say "knightling" instead? Link to comment
Domi Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 It's her 'generic title' for PC, who is a son or daughter of a paladin. If knightling sounds better I can just do a mass search-replace, though I think it changes the meaning. Link to comment
Riviera Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 It *does* sound a bit clumsy.. I think.. but I'm not sure what would convey the intended meaning, and not sound a bit odd... Knightling does sound better, but like Domi said, it doesn't really seem to fit the meaning she wants it to have. If I do think of something, I'll post it in. Link to comment
Domi Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I think I can always go with 'my little paladin', 'baby paladin', 'paladin's brood', invent a word like 'paladspawn' or a 'Sirling', or use the gamer's term 'pally' and give an option for non-paladins to ask Salomeya to explain what the hell she means first time she uses it (which will be her first talk). I am open to the suggestions, obviously. As long as she comes accross as Pain-in-the-Ass, and paladin is clearly referenced, it's all good. Link to comment
Avenger Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 From the shots it seems salomeya has such a high (low?) charisma!!!! Link to comment
Domi Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Salomeya is... well, let's say the trick is not to get her to speak, but to make her shut up. She (and Diriel) will probably end up as a 'hate her or love her' character. Link to comment
cmorgan Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'm partial to "yo, tin-can", or "oh great boon to stuck up snobbery" m'self... perhaps a little 4th wall, though Link to comment
Domi Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I am trying 'little paladin' atm.... I need something short and that points on the PC's being descendant of a paladin, not necessarily a paladin him/herself. Link to comment
Gimble Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Paladin-heir? Paladin kin ( or Palakin )? This isn't my forte... <grin> Link to comment
Domi Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 (grin) The whole board of us, and we can't come up with one decent bash of a paladin's kid. Link to comment
Gorilym Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Eh... How about petite paladin? (I like alliteration ) Or pocket paladin? Or maybe just paladinette? Link to comment
berelinde Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 If only "paladin" had more humorous connotations. "Brat of a paladin" just doesn't roll off the tongue, and she'd never get it to rhyme with anything. Link to comment
berelinde Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Paladin whelp? Paladin pup? Puppy paladin? Grasping at straws, here, folks. Link to comment
Domi Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 heh, there are I guess humorous annotations with paladins, mostly tin can variety, but yeah, they don't fit... Paladinette fits a female character, but not a male one, and I'd rather not branch the dialogues every time she uses the word Pup is Nord's word for PC. Is 'whelp' actually a rude thing to say? How about just general noble-born/priveleged kid kind? Link to comment
Gorilym Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Paladinette fits a female character, but not a male one, and I'd rather not branch the dialogues every time she uses the word Well, I was thinking of paladinette more along the lines of a (demeaning) diminutive - ie not really a gender-specific term, but of course the important thing is what the term conjures in your mind. I think whelp would be considered rude, but it feels a bit archaic (which could be a good thing, I guess). Link to comment
