Optional Content
The following files are optional downloads. They are listed here to help enhance your experience with Arkaz or NeverWinter Nights generally, but if you do not want to download them you will still be able to play on Arkaz and other CoPaP worlds.
NWN Picture Pack
These go in your NWN\portraits folder.
Immunity Icons
This replaces the default immunity icons with separate, easily identifiable ones.
These go in your NWN\override folder.
Custom Heads
~Warning~ This override is only to be used during character creation. You should remove the files from your override folder after creating a character. Arkaz staff are not responsible for maintaining these files, or fixing any problems you may have because of them. Any updates by Arkaz to files overridden by these files will be ignored if you forget to remove the override, which will cause you to see things in game that others don't see (different or missing heads).
