Better Names For Powers?

Like Boulder or Rockslide instead of Shards of the Endless Avalanche. Heck, even just Avalanche.

Seems like CW's chill/cold powers should have a "glacial" in there somewhere too.

How about other ones you may not care for? Please use full names, too many acronyms in a row gives me a headache.

    Dread Theft.
    It sounds like it should be a Lifesteal Heal.
    Something like Eldritch Lance or Torrent of Corruption would fit a bit better.

    And am I the only one who thinks of Killing Flames as The Unholy Handgrenade? ;)

    Haven't used it, but how about the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch from Holy Grail? That's my favorite. 1, 2, 5...3 sir...3!

    Is that what it looks like? I still haven't seen it, but enemy bowling with a huge boulder sounds pretty cool.

    All the power names are taken directly from 4E Dungeons and Dragons, as designed by Wizards of the Coast. It's unlikely that anything is actually going to be changed, or even the process for how they name powers.

    I don't think anyone here expects any real change...
