So, given that the bishop class in Gaias is an individual who travels around like a low ranking/free person just like any other character class I always felt the name was kinda unfitting. The word bishop relates to a mid- to high ranking member of the church (catholic, protestant, orthodox) who leads a part of the community at an institutional level - hardly a person to wander around on his own in the wilderness.
I suggest either changing the name to one of two things: Zealot (cool name, has a radical cling to it), or Abbot (neutral, but perhaps kinda bland).
It seems to me that this change makes sense for consistency and etymological reasons. The bishop name is kinda like what the class name 'Prince' or 'Lord' would sound like - a person of institutional power, not exactly an adventurer.
And please don't tell me it's a stretch to suggest this. Even small details make a difference.
