Naming tips

Making a weapon sound legendary

One word, one promise

The greatest weapon names are a single compound that states what the blade does: Dawnbreaker, Widowmaker, Soulrender, Frostbite. Verb and noun fused into a threat or a vow.

Match the kind to the wielder

A paladin's blade and a warlock's dagger should not share a name. Set the kind, Heroic, Cruel, Arcane, Holy or Cursed, so the weapon suits the hand that holds it.

Refine, don't restart

Found a strong root but want a different ring to it? Choose the name, hit Refine, and roll variations on the same theme.
