One of the first things you'll need to do in this game is choose a name, first a family name and then your first character's name.

There aren't many hard and fast rules. However, we can offer you a bundle of guidelines:

  • Do not use offensive names. That is really more a rule than a guideline, and characters have been deleted for clearly offensive names.
  • Both your family and character name should be proper names, not nicknames, handles or code signs.
  • Use proper spelling, no 1337 5p34k or sy|\/|bols.
  • In case of doubt, err on the side of common and conservative names.
  • Think twice before using special characters. While BattleMaster allows you to use language-specific umlauts or accented letters, many players will not know how to read or pronounce them and might feel irritated or confused.
  • This is a low fantasy genre game, names consistant with the genre will make integration of your character/family to the game more seamless for yourself and others. Remember everyone loves a good name.
