OD&D - The Thief - a complete re-write (& new name) 002

Just to let people know, the overall feedback I am getting so far for the new class name for my new replacement thief class in reply to the below request:


 Ok just to take this a little further,as a replacement for the thief class I am wanting a new name so below I am listing a bunch of names and I would like to pick one for the name of the class and then one for each of the first 8 or so levels: I am thinking of Indiana Jones and those like him, Marco Polo, Robin Hood, etc. So please tell me what you like for a class name and what you like for the Level names especially for name level.

explorer
scout
trailblazer
pioneer
adventurer
forerunner
guide
pathfinder
wanderer
excursionist
discoverer
prospector
venturer
gadabout
traveler
peregrinator
rover
opportunist
vanguard
outrider
spotter
discloser
revealer
discerner
identifier

Anyone that wants to comment on a Class Name and the order of the Level Names, please do so! :)
Which eight names would you pick for the Level Names?  What would you pick for the Class name to replace Thief?

So far the overwhelming majority is suggesting Scout as the new Class name. What do you think?

  1. As in Ranger Scout? If you choose Explorer then Spelunker could be the title for level 1, followed by many of the above and perhaps archeologist or tomb robber. Level titles don't have to make sense. Look at the ones for cleric!

  2. No, I am looking to do a write-up that is completely different from a Ranger to replace thief. I am the only one in my group that ever plays a ranger or a paladin. So I am looking to create something, that is not called a thief that several of my players would be likely to play.

  3. I like scout okay because that's how I was introduced to the class in MERP. But I use Adventurer now; it's a bit general but I imagine that such an individual would use a catch all term anyway. Vagabond, prospector, delver (for the dungeony tiers), wanderer, bush-wacker, explorer (for the early wilderness), vanguard, and gentleman burglar (for the more respectable levels).
