How do I get an avatar?....

I can't access the list for some reason, and I don't have the capability to do a custom one....

Any clues would be helpful, thanks :)

First, you need to do a Ixithian Fire ritual to the appropriate god or goddess of your choice, dressing in bearskin. Then...

Sorry, couldn't resist. :D

My first instinct would be to have someone send you one that you could use. They have to be 50x50 pixels in size, according to the error messages I kept getting... :rolleyes:

@Der-draigen, try http://mysmilies.com/ for some possible avatars. Then go the area where you can edit your profile, and add the avatar address in the appropriate box. That should work. :)

@Fable: Thanks, I'll try that :)

Did you sacrifice two doves with a ritual knife to Bill Gates at midnight? And was it done at a crossroads where a person who didn't like LOTR was hanged?

@Fable: *sigh* It was five minutes to midnight, I didn't think it would matter all THAT much :rolleyes: :D

You didn't think, you didn't think...! That's what all my apprentices say. And you know what happened to the last one who was off by a few minutes? He was discovered in small pieces scattered all over the surrounding countryside, the next day. And his predeccessor turned into a Republican!

Let that be a lesson to you. And be more careful, next time.

@Fable: it is fine to put the fear of God into neophyte apprentices, but scaring them out of their wits by mentioning Republicians is crossing the line... :D

@Der-draigen: Don't pay any attention to that man behind the curtain. ;)

I used a portrait that I originally downloaded for BG2. I had to crop it and change the format though.

I would use the one I used in BG2, but I seem to have misplaced it, along with all of my fiels towards the game... :(

Ah, but they react with such fear, horror and trepidation when that's mentioned! ...And then, too, I've got a deal with a local launderer to split the fees when my apprentices come in with stained robes, as a result. It's commercially viable! THAT MEANS IT'S EVIL!! :D :D

I did something similar, though mine is a pic I had been attempting to edit to fit into IWD. It was too horizontally rectangular for IWD, though, but it didn't take much to get it fit into here. It's actually a screenshot of me from the scenes shown during the opening theme for Sailor Moon SuperS. :D

There is another alternate ritual :
Sacrifice Bill Gates heart, brain, and glasses to The Mighty Red Hat, Penguin and Chameleon. It must be done in front of a Gigantic Apple precisely at noon :D

Humans, bah! You believe anything you read, as long as each word is no longer than three letters! That isn't Bill Gates' heart, but a simulation created by the noted Scottish wizard, Angus MacMac. A Mac simulation may look right, but it's not the real thing. And it can't be: for Gates long ago sold his heart to the dread Cthlwyyntljwwpkkmnyhth, the Demon Whose Name Cannot be Pronounced, of Welsh origins, and it has long since been used as a cactus planter.

Phhht. Let's have no more obfuscations from you lot. Back to work! I want to see that potion of invisibility before nightfall, and if you try to palm off a non-existing object on me like you did last time, I'll turn you both into N'Sync roadies. NO MORE DELAYS! GET TO WORK! :mad:
