Or from vaultusing something like nwnexplorer: https://neverwintervaultgithub.orgcom/projectvirusman/nwnee/other/nwn-ee-819313-full-2da-sourcenwnexplorer/releases (some may also be in the neverwinter/ovr game folder)

Copy appearance.2da and racialtypes.2da to a new folder, name it whatever you want (Drow) in this case.

...

Go to appearance.2da and open it with notepad. Copy paste the Elf line to the bottom, then set the id 871 if the previous entry was 870, etc. Don't forget to chance the appearance value in racialtypes.2da to this number. Name it Drow for name. Done for now. Model should be E (elf), but you can change it to c_ettin or something if you want to experiment and be an ettin. Has to be an actual model that exists in the game though.

Save these 3 files into a folder (appearance.2da, racialtypes.2da, racial_feat_drow.2da), then turn them into a .hak with the nwhak utility in your game installation folder.  Image Modified


Go Documents → Neverwinter Nights. Put the .hak in the hak folder, and the .tlk in the tlk folder.
