steriaca 1,073 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I'm sure people have already suggested these names. Dogwood. Root. Evermean. Thorn (ok...this one is already taken). Poison Oak. Kanabus. Hempman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hugh Neilson 2,502 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Sequoia - for a big wood-based brick There are lots of different powers and SFX that could trace back to plants, so a good name would trace back to the subset of powers the character is focused on.

Strand 7 Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 If you are playing an English game, play a character that is Spanish or German or Russian or just not English. Take any of the above words and translate them to something that sounds cool looking and sounding and make your character a little more different. Your character has a much older Fey name when you come from the OLD country. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I assume, given the other parts of the thread that he'd be a natural log man. So shouldn't that be Ln-Man? (Sorry, my math geek came out for a moment. He's going away now...)

Duke Bushido 3,042 Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Possible duplicate here; eyes are too tired to read well on this phone, but I tried. Ive seen this used in a campaign I was in a couple decades back for a wood-themed brick: some Growth, Density Increase, some Stretching, and a couple of extra limbs. Timber Like those characters that turn to living metal, he turned to dense wood-like tissue, etc. Had a twin brother (on and off rivalry) without stretching and extra limbs, but more Growth and DI; GM named him Oak. Oak was later given to a new player as a pregen (later campaign). Player changed his look a bit and called him Ebony. Seriously: there are some cool names in this thread, but sometimes a conceptually-solid simple name keeps a reputation around a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
