I don't know if this has been suggested, but read on.
Well, I was zooming through profiles the titles of crits caught my eyes. I'm thinking instead of Female Halfling Archmaster Hunter, why not make it Female Halfling Archmaster Huntress?

There's Archmaster Priest and Priestess, so why not specify more on some of the other classes as well?

Hunter/Huntress
Sorcerer/Sorceress
Well that's all I can think of atm.

And besides, Philemon would look nice with the title '1st to Sorceress' w/o sex change that is. ;)

Edit: ooh come to think of it, this should be in Game Improvement...

boredom kills ;)

hrm I just thought about something else.

(Looking over) Dracon is a Male Halfling Archmaster Cleric. He looks strong, smart, extremely fast, and sexy.

(on profile) Class: Male Halfling Archmaster Cleric

maybe we can have 'Sexy Male Halfling Archmaster Cleric' on profile? for those with low charisma, sorry

Not sure why people have picked at this.
A female hunter is a huntress, a female sorcerer is a sorceress and as for assassin, it's a unisex word ;) So really, is does make perfect sense.

Hunter isn't just a male word, it's unisex in the same way as Assassin, Templar, or Knight. You don't see a female hunter saying, "Yeah, I've been a huntress since I was a kid."

I do apologise. Perhaps Hunter can be applied to both, however, huntress is still a viable change. and as most women prefer to seperate themselves from men (ooh, sexist!), maybe women would like to be called huntress' ;)

Some words are considered unisex only in certain parts of the world. And some people have stead-fast beliefs and what words are right. I still get picked on by some people when I call an acting female an "actor" instead of an "actress."

Anyhoo, I myself like the changes that are suggested. Nobody today would use the word "huntress" when talking about a girl who likes to go out and shoot deer, but the said word has a certain medieval charm that I think would fit in Nightmist.
