So here's the deal. I've wanted to play through as a Dwarven Defender for a long time, mostly because I want to filch Khelgar's awesome hammer and crack some heads. But I can't stand toddling around on those stumpy little legs. So I've been trying to create a Carrot Ironfoundersson style of character: a Human adopted and raised by Dwarves, with enough ingrained Dwarf heritage to qualify for the prestige class. I've spent the entire morning scrolling through pages of mods and screwing around (badly) with a GFF editor trying to find a solution, to no good end. So far, I've come up with three theoretical solutions:
1) Creating a Dwarf character and then editing his appearance to that of a Human. The "Set Appearance" cheat listed in all the codelists I've found appears to be bunk, and I haven't figured out how to do it with the GFF editor I downloaded.
2) Creating a Human character and editing his profile so that the game perceives him as a Dwarf. I suspect that this may be done through the GFF editor, but again, I'm useless with the thing.
3) Modifying the prestige class so that it no longer requires Dwarvish heritage as a prerequisite.
If anyone has any ideas as to how any of the above could be accomplished, I'd be extremely grateful. Advice or ideas would be great, a link to an existing hakpak would be even better.
Thanks!
