Personally I think Revolutionary is a bit of a bust.

I'm fine with Master being lower. I think it's appropriate for like, d6 level. As an example, master is actually kind of low on the chess totem pole when you consider all the ranks there are; thought the caveat to that is each rank past that does have master in the title. Master, fide master, international master, grandmaster, and the relatively new and informally used but very popular "Super GM" title being thrown around for players around 2700+ rating.

I just think we should keep our naming themes consistent. I don't like revolutionary because when we go beyond "master" it has some epic connotations behind it. Legendary, godly, that's the kind of stuff that makes you feel like it's going far beyond human limits. I like the idea of something like "Transcendent" or "Mythical" more, it follows the theme we have better than Revolutionary. It's a bit too mundane to follow after being Godly.
