No, You Cannot Change Your Main Pawn

Unfortunately, you cannot change your Main Pawn in Dragon's Dogma 2 (DD2). Once you have created the pawn and have chosen them to be your companion during character creation, they will be your main pawn for your entire playthrough.

You can change a plethora of main pawn characteristics albeit limited to some degree to make sure your main pawn is still the same pawn you chose in the beginning.

How to Change Main Pawn Appearance

Change Pawn Appearance in Barber Shops

Barber Shops in major towns and cities allow you to change your Main Pawn's appearance. You can simply pay a hefty sum of money to change your hairstyle, makeup, and markings.

It is also possible to change your main pawn's overall appearance and basically redo character creation by obtaining an Art of Metamorphosis and choosing Modify Appearance.

The first barber that you will encounter is Clovis when you arrive in Vernworth. Her shop is found near the West Vernworth Oxcart Station so it's not easy to miss!

How to Change Main Pawn Name

You Cannot Change Your Pawn's Name

Unfortunately, you cannot change your Pawn's Name. Even though changing appearance somehow lets you redo character creation, this does not include the name of your Main Pawn.

In Dragon's Dogma 1, Art of Metamorphosis also allows name changes but in DD2, it is not the case.
