In my NCCG (Novel Customizable Card Game) players can use character cards to add more variety and or strategic moves or add more points to their monsters on the field. My problem is; for the archer class; is there a ranking tier system for upgrade? For my knight class there are three tier levels that includes 14 levels to become a top knotch knight. Need help please and thanks.

Tiers?

Do you mean should archer's have tiers at all or do you mean tiers like distance shot, accurate shot, moving shot with several ranks in each tier?

Tier not the right word? Lol my bad.

Yes basically does an archer have rank names when leveling up? For an example. My knight character class starts out as a Page. Then levels up to a serf then upto a knight. Within each level there are sublevels to obtain to become a better hero or heroine or worse villian for the villian characters. So my question is does an archer have a starting point like that of the knight or does the archer just get better with equipment and building arrows that are better shot from afar?

I don't know if you like the

I don't know if you like the idea, but you could use different types of shooters: sling-man, darts-man, crossbow-man, ..., archer.
Another option is to place an adjective before the name: rookie, skilled, fine, pro, ...
Or you can use some sort of military ranking.

Thank you for all of the cool suggestions.

Thanks Orangebeard and JackBurton for the suggestions. @Jack, the rookie, skilled, fine and pro to even "expert?" was considered to go this route, but wasn't sure. Wasn't sure if there was another name for such a skill to level up an archer. I will go with these titles for the fantasy role. Thanks again.

Archer Ranks

Also "marksman", "dead-eye", "crack shot".

I think the knight

I think the knight progression should be Page, Squire, then Knight. A serf is effectively a Peasant.

As for archer, depending on whether you have these as other classes you could go - sling -> Crossbow -> Longbow.

Thats what the middle level up is:

Yeah, in my haist, I did mention serf didn't I. I ment to type squire. Thank you. (bows in for correction). For the archer. Yes great suggestions and to think I haven't started working on this character card yet. Thanks everyone. If any more ideas come up for archer levels, please keep them coming. So what about minotaurs? How many level up ranks should I go that is a respectable high rank with sub set skills for each level up?

You also have bow related

You also have bow related jobs. Fletcher, Bowyer, Hunter, Ranger, Marksman, Sniper (yes that can apply to bows), Scout, Trapper, Deerstalker.

And you can use "apprentice" and "master" to triple the list.

As to minotaurs, where I come from there was one minotaur and he was killed by Theseus. If you want to make minotaur a class you will half to write your own book. The word "asterion" however is associated with the minotaur, maybe you could use that

Great suggestions RGaffney,

Those are great titles for the Archer class. To think that there are so many choices to choose from, my mind went blank on archer classes. And here, I ask for help and I get great responces. SWEET! Its one of those things that skips the mind but yet when designing or creating a game, so many factors come into play that needs to be considered and waivered to not be taken from other games with the same ideas. Luckily, I haven't started on the archer character class. Thank you again everyone.

Back to the Minotaur class for a brief second.

I will be using the miltary rank class of today. And when I ment Minotaurs, I ment that as a race in the fantasy sense. But no worries. I know that story of Theseus and the Minotaur. Hehe.
