oh I suggested titanium peashooter because it amused me, but I'll admit it probably isn't a good final title.  However, not sure I like TurboTurtle either.  I like the alteration, but when I think of turtle I think of either slow or defending (ie 'turtleing' as defined in a MMO).  So TurboTurtle makes me think of either MightyGlacer only more so, or some class focusing on defensive abilities for protecting some sort of objective point (or a tank class).

As for the speed issue though, perhaps the trope shouldn't emphasis high mobility explicitly?  Obviously anyone with low mobility is going to be a MightyGlacier but I would think this trope may fit more examples if it applied to anyone with normal or higher mobility but still maintaining the high survivability/low damage ratio.

Like with the Paladin example I gave; paladins really aren't noticeable more mobile, even with their ability to be immune to movement impairing spells (druids were the high mobility class), but they still weren't MightyGlacier or GradualGrinder so they need a trope that fits them.  Would you be opposed to changing it from 'highly mobile' to just 'not low mobility'?
