Will I screw anything up messing with the sprite?

    I want to change my skinny Half-Elf sprite into a burly human fighter one. There won't be a problem with my game, will there?

    I see no reason why. Should be fine, even in netplay. Only thing is, unless others have the same exact file, they will see your skinny Half-Elf. If I'm wrong, anyone feel free to jump in and let us both know. But as far as I know it shouldn't screw up netplay, and for offline play... nah, definitely won't mess a thing up. Maybe others you find using the same sprite will look like you, but that's as bad as it gets.

    As Kamesennin said, there won't be a problem with that, you can change your sprite into practically anything with the SwordCoast Keeper, but use common sense though. Changing it into a dragon or anything that size will obviously have an impact. (Imagine that one wandering the firewine ruins... :rolleyes: )

    Also the Elminster sprite may cause problems as it has no animations for attacking, so if you ever use that one, stick with your spells!

    ah yeah, you know sprite size never came to mind... yeah, that'll have some effects on ya. But if you must use a large sprite for whatever reason... be sure to have CLUAConsole enabled and be prepared to switch paper doll at times to make it into doorways, through dungeons... whatever small space you wouldn't get through normally because you're as big as Goliath.
