    [​IMG] I was fooling around with Ctrl-6 & Ctrl-7 and ended up with a group of half-dragons, including Sherincal.
    I was wondering if there would be any problems when I faced Sherincal again in the Feilds of Slaughter.

    Also does the avatar have anything to do with your attacks? Number and weapons.
    All my charecters are spellcasters. Will using creatures which don't have casting animations cause the game to crash?

    Well, in BG2 (most sprites are from there, i think), if sprite doesn't have casting animation, it stands still, and spell just comes.And no, it just chages appearance, not attack numbers or anyting.

    You shouldn't have any problems. I've played around with changing the sprites and nothing bad has happened. One thing I did notice is that when you save your game, the sprites will have reverted to their "originals" when next you reload.

    I had a problem with my paladin using the Yuan-ti Halfbreed avatar. When she tried to level up, I got an error saying something about being unable to find an animation or something.

    Why does the avatar have to change when a new class now has the highest levels? My gnome thief looks horrible when she takes her illusionist levels.

    @el timtor
    Does that happen even with avatars assigned by DaleKeeper?

    ctrlaltdelete:enablecheatkeys()

    Select any one of your charecters. Then press Ctrl-7 to cycle thru avatars or appearance on that charecter. Ctrl-6 cycles in the opposite direction.
    Not only do you get to see the usually assigned avatars like Human-Fighter-Male, Gnome-Thief-Female but also Isair, Madae, Sherincal, rhemorazz, elementals, giants and jellys.

    Shrikant: Yeah, that annoyed me too. I dont like my female gnome (or halfling, oddly) thief/mage suddenly growing a beard whenever she gets a new mage level. Thats why I always make thief/magi guys, tieflings or elves these days.

    I noticed that some sprites don't show any characters onscreen (i.e. Arundel), does this mean that Arundel can be found in IWD2? And I remember another one called barbarian iscaharacht or something.

    How exactly do you access the Dalekeeper, do you need to buy it? I can't find it anywhere.
