I think it's high time we update our Co8 user titles to reflect some more ToEE-ish sensibilities. (Green Dragon? Mountain Giant? Where? ) To that end, let's have some suggestions from the community. Nothing silly please; let's just try to move to a system dealing with more common ToEE/Greyhawk entities as appropriate for your level. I'll post the current titles and criteria below: Goblin Raider, 0 - 24 posts Hungry Ghoul, 25 - 49 posts Giant Crayfish, 50 - 74 posts Lizard Man, 75 - 99 posts Troll Berserker, 100 - 124 posts Ogre Chief, 125 - 149 posts Hill Giant, 150 - 174 posts Mountain Giant, 175 - 199 posts Green Dragon, 200 - 249 posts Demon Lord, 250 - 3,499 posts Circle of Eight Wizard, 3500+ posts What I'm looking for here is a good, common and recognizable representative entity within the context of the ToEE world for each level you achieve. For example, Goblin would be good for the first, as opposed to, say, lesser dire mealworm. I'm also open to adding more titles and adjusting the post criteria, as it seems rather subjective at the moment. e.g., figure out a reasonable progression of milestones on a mildly upward sloping graph, such as 1-50, 51-150, 151-300, etc. The only thing I think we should keep no matter what is Circle of Eight Wizard for the high end. Let's hear some suggestions! :thumbsup:
All right, I'll give it a go: 1: Kobold Scout: 0-49 2: Goblin Thief: 50-149 3: Swaying Zombie: 150-299 4: Hungry Ghoul: 300-499 5: Gnoll Raider: 500-799 6: Raging Bugbear: 800-1,199 7: Ogre Brute: 1,200-1,699 8: Troll Berserker: 1,700-2,499 9: Hill Giant Barbarian: 2,500-3,499 10: Drow Assassin: 3,500-4,999 11: Hextorite: 5,000-6,999 12: Bearded Devil: 7,000-9,999 13: White Dragon: 10,000-13,999 14: Vrock: 14,000-18,999 15: Glabrezu: 19,000-24,999 16: Hezrou: 25,000-31,999 17: Balor: 32,000-39,999 18: Gremlich: 40,000-49,999 19: Slaver: 50,000-69,999 20: Circle of Eight Wizard: 70,000+
Yes! I started looking at your suggestions, Daryk, and ended up going with what you see below. You were helpful in that you at least put me on the right track. Basically it is a simple system of a mild increase in post requirements as you advance, with 21 categories starting at 0 and ending up at 5000. (So all of you have something to shoot for lol.) After I settled on the progression, I simply went to the 3.5 SRD and searched for monsters by CR and picked commonly seen or understood ones from ToEE, with lowest CRs being low end and highest being the high end. In most cases, there is one monster/title per CR. Toward the higher end the CRs become more spaced out. 0 - Skeleton 60 - Zombie 140 - Kobold 240 - Goblin 360 - Hobgoblin 500 - Orc 660 - Lizardman 840 - Gnoll 1040 - Bugbear 1260 - Ogre 1500 - Gargoyle 1760 - Owlbear 2040 - Minotaur 2340 - Troll 2660 - Lamia 3000 - Ettin 3360 - Hill Giant 3740 - Vrock 4140 - Hezrou 4560 - Glabrezu 5000 - Balor I of course broke my own rule and didn't retain Circle of Eight Wizard. I also didn't add any further descriptors like "raider" etc. If anyone has suggestions for those, I'll listen. ~ What's shaking, Zebedee? Long time no see.
Well, since you're already past 20, there's no reason to stop at 21. I think the next few could be: 22. White Dragon 23. Hextorite 24. Slaver 25. Circle of Eight Wizard That rounds you out at nice even 25.
Just catching up with the work you guys have been doing :coffee: Nice to see familiar names still active.
Here's a more complete tweak using your progression, but starting a little lower and ending a little higher (with Ciricle of Eight of Wizard at the end): 0 - Kobold 20 - Goblin 60 - Hobgoblin 120 - Orc 200 - Skeleton 300 - Zombie 420 - Ghoul 560 - Gnoll 720 - Bugbear 900 - Ogre 1100 - Ghast 1320 - Gargoyle 1560 - Owlbear 1820 - Minotaur 2100 - Troll 2400 - Lamia 2720 - Werewolf 3060 - Jackalwere 3420 - Ettin 3800 - Efreet 4200 - Hill Giant 4620 - Salamander 5060 - Vrock 5520 - Hezrou 6000 - Glabrezu 6500 - Balor 7020 - Ancient White Dragon 7560 - Hextorite 8120 - Slaver 8700 - Circle of Eight Wizard
I love the idea! Lol, "2100 Troll" sounds funny given the ambiguous possible interpretation of the word "troll" in the context of a *cough* user title *cough*. A person who trolled for 2100 posts and hasn't been banned for it is a hero troll. @ Zebedee: Hiya! Glad to see you around!
Pardon the necromancy, but I noticed this thread isn't visible in the regular forum (you have to search for "user titles" to make it show). Perhaps it should get a sticky?
But all these titles are negative, how about a few positive ones. 2000 - Light in the Darkness 3000 - Paladin of Truth You get my drift.
