Name field is too inflexible

[nus-pe-bot]

The name field is only restricted to alphanumeric characters and spaces. However, there are valid names that require more than alphanumeric characters and spaces. For example, make char Tester s/o testing does not qualify as a valid Name

Thanks for spotting this!

Currently, it is true that names containing special characters like / or - are not accepted by the parser. However, this is not a priority since such names are uncommon in the TTRPG genre and pose issues with problematic inputs like /////. Enhancements to the parsing and range of valid names may be introduced in future iterations.
