I just installed the modified BAMs and paper doll. In general, everything looks very good now - except for Chloe. As she wears no armor, she uses the unarmored Fighter paper doll and looks like she's wearing a blue swimsuit. Not good at all. Is there any way to change that without touching the other paper dolls and BAMs?

If the BAM (paperdoll and avatar) files are placed directly in the override folder, delete all those that start with 'CHFF'. That will restore the original BG2 female fighter files. If the BAM files are BIFFed (and thus inaccessible), you might have to create a special cloak for her that goes in her armor slot; it gives, say, +1 protection or +10% fire and cold resistance and also provides the illusion of wearing chainmail armor. That's what I had to do for a fighter-mage if I didn't want the chap to look absurdly top-heavy from wearing the helm of Balduran and no armor.

If I delete those files, will that affect the armored female fighters as well? I think the armored fighters are the biggest improvement over the original BG2, so I wouldn't like to do that.

A cloak wouldn't work, unless I removed the Kensai restrictions - although I installed the Universal Lesser Mage Robes, Chloe can't wear them. I wonder why. Apart from having to remove the Kensai restriction, I'd probably be better off making a very weak leather armor since I guess there's no robed fighter paper doll.

You could also give shadowkeeper a try. I used it to edit Imoen's paperdoll from thief to mage and it worked just fine.
Try giving Chloe the cleric paperdoll instead (nice little skirt, if I remember correctly...), it looks a lot nicer than the unbearable swimsuit

There is an avatar changer over at http://forums.gibberlings3.net/ IIRC.

[Ieldra]

Yes, I know. I have the Avatar Morphing script installed. I'll try that and see whether a Cleric avatar with swords works. I thought maybe this would crash the game since there can be no clerics with swords.

Who was smoking crack the day they designed that female fighter paperdoll? Seriously. Have you ever seen anything quite so dumb in your whole life? (Well, excepting perhaps a bearded female dwarf...)

Female dwarves in D&D are supposed to have beards, so that one isn't Bioware's fault .

[WizWom]

Well, I'm looking, and the Fighter female dwarf 1 and Cleric Femal dwarf 1 don't have beards, although the thief female dwarf 1 does.
And there is not paper doll at all for mage female dwarf 1.
