well, you cant really, the characters that you can export with IE have just basic colors all over them : blue, pink, green, yellow, no armor, weapons, haircolor... any identifying characteristics. the game engine adds those when it loads. so you cant really pull that kind of image out. now if you were technically inclined (and very anal) you could theoreticly pull all the different elements out and recombine them one fram at a time.
but that would take forever.

sorry

Well that just sucks. I have a cool custom character that I would like to use in my signature. How did they do Falling from Grace character then.

I didn't quite understand your question. Are you talking about editing a NEW BG2 avatar or using an existing one from BG2? If it's an existing one use Infinity Explorer (from www.teambg.com) and extract the GIF file you want. If you want to use YOUR character in your sig, then, well, it WOULD take forever.

I would rather use my custom character but if it would take forever then can you guys help me find a female character using two swords at once. Of course it has to be animated.
