How to Name Your D&D 5e Character
Elves favor flowing vowels ('ae', 'il', 'wen'), whereas Dwarves use hard plosives ('th', 'gr', 'k', 'dor').
An orphaned street urchin Rogue might take a monosyllabic alias ('Sly', 'Crow'), while a noble Paladin carries a full hereditary epithet.
Give your hero a title earned through heroic deeds or past infamy (e.g. 'the Pure', 'Shieldbreaker', 'the Unbroken').
