Skill titles
Your character will be given a skill title based on their current skill set. To determine the title, a character's skills are placed into five tiers: Lvl 1-7, 8-14, 15-20, 21-26, and 27. Your character's title is determined by their highest skill -- any time a different skill surpasses your current highest skill, your title will change to reflect it. Your title will also change when your current highest skill reaches a new tier. The first skill to reach level 27 will determine your character's final title.

** Title determined by (upper) body size: Weightless (Djinn), Fly (Spriggans), Feather (Kobolds and Tengu), Light (Deep Elves), Middle (Humans and everyone else not included in other categories), Cruiser (species with torso smaller than lower body, ie. Nagas and Armataurs), and Heavy (Oni and Trolls).
*** Title determined by method of locomotion. Octopode: Plane Wriggler; Tengu: Plane Glider; Naga: Plane Slitherer; Vine Stalker: Plane Stalker, Armataur: Plane Roller.
**** The invocations titles above will be used if the character is currently following no god. A skilled Invocations-user will otherwise use the title assigned by their god and piety level, such as "Missionary" for 3-star Beogh. A table for this can be found below.
***** Title determined by whether or not you worship an evil god.
****** Demigods get the title "God of Death".
Invocations Titles
Titles for the invocations skill depend on piety level and god being worshipped. Gods which don't require training invocations still have titles based on them, although will mostly only be encountered when playing as a Gnoll.

**** Many species use a word other than child, Felid="Kitten", Tengu="Chick", Gnoll or Armataur="Pup", Formicid="Larva", Minotaur="Calf", Barachi="Tadpole", Octopode="Fry".
Since Gozag has no piety system, its Invocations titles work off current amount of gold:
God | Penance | 0-99 gold | 100-499 gold | 500-999 gold | 1000-4999 gold | 5000-9999 gold | 10000-49999 gold | 50000+ gold |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Yredelemnul | Traitor | Tainted | Torchbearer | Fey Foo | Black Crusader | Sculptor of Flesh | Harbinger of Death | Grim Reaper |
Since Xom follows no piety system and is utterly unpredictable, its followers are given the same title regardless of interest:
God | Any amount of Invocations |
---|---|
Xom | Toy |
