    Hi there,

    Please forgive the newbie question as I'm sure it has been answered somewhere.. I just can't find it.

    On P99 as is here, you can't create a surname with a hyphen in it. However, you could petition a GM to do it for you - my husband had Le'Faye for his rogues surname there.

    I read an old 2015 post about any name changes being unreasonably hard here - but does this also apply to surname creation with a hyphen in it?

    Thanks in advance,

    Melodie - Bard
    Malady - Necromancer
    Ministry - Cleric
    Pursuit - Ranger
    Chantry - Enchanter

    We do not create surnames with hyphens for people here.

    Sometimes surnames are awarded when people do extra ordinary testing or something helping out staff.

    We're lazy. We got better things to do in our time than to grant players wishes with those naming fanciness with hyper and quotes. What the client gives you is what you get. Simple as that.
