SK editing your appearance, cause trouble?

[TheGlow]

Just wondering, anything bad happen?
Im sure theres a probability of freeze ups, but anything else?
I noticed like the lich runs slow and vampires run fast, but is speed the only thing?
Id like to run around as perhaps a drow or something, but I dont want any inherent magic resistance, etc

Nah, changing avatar only fiddles with appearance. Though you might find problems depending on what you equip... Save a lot and you should be fine.

[Bahamut]

Nope. It's all good

You might also run into problems if you hack the avatar of a creature that does not normally cast spells (such as a Cow) onto a spellcasting character. When you start casting, the game will look for the animation frames of "Cow casting spell," not find any, and freeze up.

A similar problem occurs in avatars that have no "death" animation, although these are much rarer: Elminster is the only avatar I've heard of that will crash the game upon death.

[TheGlow]

Well, he likes to go out with a bang. What more can be said?
Anyone have recommendations for interesting casters? Elminster looks ok, or demilich and pretend to be Morte from Torment.

The HULA wizard is pretty cool looking,but i never actually saw it in shadowkeeper,only when using CRTL+6/7 ingame,i think the standard Elf Wizard looks cool.

You can make your PC a look like a drow with out using SK. Just make your hair color white and your skin color dark through the appearance tab.

[Illumina Drathiran'ar]

Ah, but the 'real' drow (at least the males) have strange ways of moving that changing skin/hair color won't mimic. Like the Shadow Thieves. Their clothing is different, too.

I like changing avatars with SK, it's fun. "Cow" warning above applies. I've just made simple changes to other standard avatars. For example, my human mage is based on a real-life person. He doesn't have a beard like the human-mage avatar, and I don't really like him wearing robes. So I changed him to the human thief avatar. Looks great, with a mysterious hood, and no beard.

Also changed my Half-Elven Ranger to the Human Cleric avatar. Makes him look like a really buff strong half-elf.

I made a human child-character ("Son Of..."), by putting a gnome avatar.

And finally, I have Mr. T (from the A-Team) as a human fighter/thief. I changed his avatar to Half-Orc cuz it makes him look super-strong, which of course, he is.

Another term for "avatar" is "paper-doll."

Someone commented about the HULA wizard, what is this? During my first play through my game (before I had cheats and such) I was walking around when all of a sudden I saw that line of text appear at the bottom of one of the screens, and my main character had become an all-black wearing wizardy-person. I was totally confused, though it went away after a while. Can someone tell me what it is exactly?
