Hmmm... Moiraine Sedai asked part of this question here, about character names.

But no one has asked about item names that I know of, and I had to think for a minute about what you meant.

I'm afraid I'm rather boring when it comes to naming items. I use descriptive names, like Brass Cuff I4M4F4 for Protection from Ice (times 4), from Magic (times 4), from Fire (times 4). Weapons will be things like Nightblade H1D11 (+1 to hit, +11 Damage), and armor will be Oomphaz War Chain R3A9 (Regeneration times 3, Armor times 9).

That way, if my Bless or Enchant skill isn't high enough, I can do some blessing and enchanting now and more later. Something might be I2M2, depending on the skills available.

Makes me think of the Masters of Magic game, where you could create items and artifacts and there was a name generator that defaulted a unique name to the item, based on what spells you put into it... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Anyone else?
