Character descriptions

Started by starsignal, November 25, 2014, 11:22:30 AM

Do we have the power to change our character descriptions at will, or do we have to submit a request each time we want to do this?

Sort of.

There is a function called the tdesc, short for temporary description. This lets you add an extra line or two to the end of your main description describing some sort of temporary effect: hair styling, covered in bruises, pregnant, etc. It should be used carefully, but does allow for some changing on the fly.

More significant and permanent changes do require a Description Change request to be processed. Bare in mind that you generally only get two of these per characters/once every ten in-game years.

Edit to Add: If your character gets maimed by someone or something out of their control, I think you can get a complimentary change executed. So if you need to go from "the big-nosed half-elf" to the "the noseless half-elf" because Lord Fancypants wanted your schnozz for a spice pouch, you can get that reflected without using up one of your Description Changes.

Silly, you're supposed to use a razor to shave not an axe.

Damn. That's the only acceptable way to shave a beard that manly.

This should be standard practice for all bynners.
