Actually, I don't know, is it good place to post that, but I think it is :P

I would like to create system of runes in my new module, but I have problem with... their names :P

Runes are the following types:
resistance to:
- sound
- electricity
- piercing
- acid
- crushing
- fire
- slashing
- cold
increasing stats:
- strength
- dexterity
- constitution
- wisdom
- intelligence
- charisma
- reflex
- will
- fortitude
- spell resistant
additional weapon damage:
- sound
- electricity
- piercing
- acid
- crushing
- fire
- slashing
- cold
and also:
- regeneration
- vampiric regenaration

I would be very grateful for all the good ideas :)

I would suggest using google translate and pick a language you like the sound of, then mash up the words a little as you please... e.g. based on german, but not really german. Selecting a rare language, such as Frysian, would further help obsure the real meanings to non-Frysian speakers.

Best wishes.

The point is that all will be in Polish and I would like to make it sound with sense.
I intend that these names are related to what gives the effect of the runes.
eg
additional damage from the sound - NOISE
additional damage from the cold - BLIZZARD
increase constitution - VIGOR
increase inteligence - MIND
etc.

I proposed the above from an 'english speakers' point of view. Frysian and several other languages from that area have a 'sound' that catches the attention of the english speaker. If your module is made in some language other than english, I would suggest you look at languages from a more remote geographical point of origin. For example:


RUNE OF: filipino indonesian maltese
sound (noise) ingay kebisingan ħoss
cold (blizzard) malamig dingin kiesaħ
constitution (vigor) kalakasan konstitusi qawwa
intelligence (mind) isip kecerdasan moħħ

The idea here is to pick a language that sounds right to YOU... this is why I suggested google translate as it gives a wide variety of languages to choose from... we did something similar to this for our PW - naming some special magical items and spells using a slightly modified word based on a real world language that just sounded right to us. Similar to what Tolkien did with elvish.

Best wishes to you.

Do it in ancient Celtic - the language of King Arthur.
