I know that this is a catacomb saint, but is there another word for it? Something that rolls off the tongue?

Fabulous
>>48416811
I dunno OP..
In german it sounds slot cooler.
Katakomben Heiliger.
>>48416953
He wants something that "rolls of the tongue", eight syllables takes a bit of rolling, especially when it isn't in your native language. Presumably he wants to feature them in a campaign but needs a snappy and memorable name for them.
>>48416953
Everything sounds cooler in german.
>>48417006
Bingo. Specifically, I'm looking to include them as a character class in a game I'm designing, so I need a memorable name for them. The other two undead classes in the game are 'Revenant' and 'Psychopomp' so something along those lines would be great.
>>48416811
Tomb saint.
Corpse relic.
Gilded bones.
>>48417028
Wait, aren't catacomb saints corpses that were exhumed, adorned, and sent abroad as relics? So the class would be a corpse animated by a church as part of a missionary or military mission? Cud b gud.
>>48416811
Relict
Incorruptible
Bejeweled
Tombforged
Sarcopraetor
>>48417053
That's the idea!
Or, rather, catacomb saints are assigned to parishes as guardian spirits to protect townsfolk from demonic entities. They spend most of their time resting in their reliquaries, occasionally waking from their slumber to fight off monsters or to advise the faithful in spiritual matters.
>>48417028
So a one word name then?
>Sanctified
>Saint
>Martyr
>Royal
>Pimpin'
>Gilded
>>48417076
Mmk, that's pretty cool, but you've already ruled out Revenant which was my first serious response after Catacommander. Then you probably want a name that differentiates them by their holy status. Honored Dead, Sacred Dead, Sanctified like >>48417077 said has a good ring to it, although without knowing the specifics of the church its hard to give anything better. You could also go down a slightly different road and have them be a constructed body with a believer or martyr's soul or something and go the Ushabti angle.
>>48417072
>Sarcopraetor
Sounds like an awesome enemy or metal band, either is fine.
>>48417072
>Sanctopraetor
I read Sancto-Raptor for a while there...
>>48417095
>>48417072
>>48417102
Sanctified sounds great!
The church in this setting is inspired by a kind of a syncretic fusion of Catholicism and Mahayana Buddhism. Catacomb saints could very well be sukushinbutsu in this world.
Also, Sarcopraetor would indeed be an awesome enemy or metal band name...
>>48417102
>Sancto-Raptor
Holy birds of prey?
>>48417102
Sarco-raptors are undead raptors hidden in sarcophagi to teach would be tomb robbers a lesson in shitting their pants.
>>48417153
A gift from Osiris himself.
Damn, now I need to stat these.
>>48416811
That breast plate looks like it was made for a woman.
It's like a reverse bikini top
>>48417178
Are you complaining about impractical armour on a skeleton?

>>48417254
Neat!
Also, thanks for posting all these cool saints! These guys are cool. I bet if they came to life they would be total bros.
>>48417196
No, I'm complaining about tit holes with no tits in them and the fact that there are no fleshy ones wearing that type of armor
fin
>>48417364
Thank you kindly, anon! These are beautiful.
>>48417267
Here's a female jeweled saint. They often wear even more revealing open-chested garments and have cute wigs to let you know they're girls.
>>48417191
>check 'em
>>48417135
No, holy dinosaurs that hunt down those who don't believe in creationism.
>>48416811
crypt lord
>>48417076
I think generally they're only a small fraction of the original saint's remains though. So you got the saint riding some random schmuck who agreed to be the undead host body of the artifact.

>Holy birds of prey?

That's a good idea. I think more Liches could be like that.
Someone explain this obsession Catholics have with swagged out skellingtons.
>>48417009
Not necessarily. Some things just sound angrier or sillier in German.

My kinda thread.

I grew up Catholic and in the Philippines and some of the spoopiest memories I have in life was my grandma forcing me to join her in vigil over this preserved corpse. Wasnt able to eat right for months.
