Appearance editor
In Neverwinter Nights most of how a character looks is fixed at creation. Here an editor changes your own appearance, and the appearance of what you are wearing, at any level.
How to open the Editor
Right click on your character, click on Special Abilities on the left of the radial menu, then click on Crafting Skills on the top anvil icon of the radial menu. The Editor conversation opens, with a choice of tools.
What you can change about yourself
Skin colour, hair colour, tattoo colour and which body parts carry a tattoo, your head, your portrait, your sound set, your wings, your phenotype and your description.
What you can change about your gear
Armour, helmet, cloak, weapon and shield.
Each editor works on the item you have equipped in that slot. It cannot pick an item from a bag.
- The shield editor only takes a shield. To change a weapon, hold it in your right hand.
- Some weapon appearances cannot be changed at all. The editor tells you when the look is part of that item.
If your character's appearance does not show equipped armour, the armour editor refuses.
Where and when it opens
In an area where PvP is off, or in a main faction city. Anywhere else it does not open.
It also refuses while you are:
- in combat
- polymorphed or mounted
- editing a socketable item
- already in the editor
- wearing a temporary skin a dungeon master gave you
- under an effect that changes what you look like or takes you out of your own control - invisibility, ethereal, darkness, petrification, paralysis, stun, daze, sleep, fear, charm, domination, entanglement, blindness, and the rest of that family
