Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

I imagine the DM / Admin who refused the name based it on the fact that "Skywalker" is a well-known surname from a modern-era science fiction space opera. The name's too unique and recognizable; using that surname carries with it implications and connotations that the PC is related to that particular fantasy story, which could be considered an unfair advantage or immersion breaking to the playerbase.

You can't be "Luke Skywalker." But we have a "Luke Darius," and that name's perfectly legal.

Arthur is not a banned name Lock. TS has the right of it, DM's would be hard pressed to enforce such a thing since you could also say thousands of other names that are used for one character or another. It's easy to say "Drizzt" is not acceptable as it's not a common name and synonymous with a specific FR lore character. Disallowing common human first names is a bit more difficult to enforce.

Arthur is a common name in many cultures just like Alexander or Peter for example. No need to be paranoid about it

I understand that your rant is all about your blocked Skywalker surname. I personally don't think that blocking this surname was a right decision. But it doesn't mean that you are right blaming everyone here for their character names.

Alexander was a step bigger than a king...he was an emperor.

KOPOJIbPAKOB well we to lean to live to Create oure own names like the backgound story if we cant do tha tbut use other kings name we a not more then a copycat

chad878262 king or emperor dosent really matter couse there not many magical tales about him sure there was this hugh world story and maybe 2 movies but dosent matter
