Crusader | Elite Crusader

If it's mentioned somewhere, I forgot, but what's the cost of the new ability once endowed? Does it turn into light or stay as it is?

Crusader simply inherits the ability exactly as it is.

how aobut call him    armifer wich is latin and stays for weaponholder (i only know it on german so i dont know if the translation is 100% right)

Not a lot of people are fluent in Latin, so some of the meaning might be lost. Imo, you should be able to sort of understand the card just by reading the name.

I think SG's suggestion was very valid, it seems until now there are no human influence in this fantasy element world, it would be good to maintain that. Changing a bit of the picture and making it into some kind of elemental being would make this card fit a lot better in this game, IMO.

A while back, we were discussing names/ideas for the creature if we had to make it a non human.  It seemed like the general idea was to make it a being of light encased in an enchanted suit of armor.  It's possible that we should also poll making it a non-human, and if so, what name.

[Kurohami]

Crusader doesn't make the card human, a elemental could be a crusader too, so the name is not a problem, just the art.

hehee new idea name him elemental crusader muahhahahaha

[Scaredgirl]

Wow.. I just noticed that poll over there. "Paladin"?! Are you guys serious? It's the most cliché name out there, used in World of Warcraft and countless of other games.

Are we going to have "Elven Archer" next? Lol

There's nothing wrong with "Crusader" because like others have said it doesn't necessarily mean the creature is a human. Like I said before, I think the problem is the combination of the name and art, which tells us that there's a human inside that armor. That piece of art needs something to suggest otherwise, like a glowing light coming inside that I suggested earlier.

Well, uhm, if WoW uses a name (not the first place), it is blocked? Admittedly, i had D&D in mind
To me, Paladin is a neutral word, not a cliche word.
It is like saying, Druid is a cliche.
To me, the druid and the paladin are the same type.

And well, 'elven archer' is not worse than 'fallen elf'.

[Kuroaitou]

Why not just name it 'Light Spirit | Light Spectre' in accordance to the 'Forest/Fire Spirits/Spectres' already in the game? Couple that name with similar (or better) art of 'spirits' for this card and the previous elements, and we're good to go. I mean, if it's going to be an elemental essence that has light radiating from it (from within the armor), perhaps it should just be a soul that finds a weapon and wields it, just like the elemental player who's arming themselves.

...just a suggestion, of course.

It's not "blocked", but using those names is like saying: "Look at me! I have zero creativity which is why I need to copy-paste everything from WoW or D&D!".

There are million other names to choose from so choosing Paladin would make absolutely no sense.

Also Google "fallen elf" and "elven archer" (with quotes) and you'll know what I'm talking about.
