Can You Change Your Appearance in Baldur’s Gate 3?
If you’re playing Baldur’s Gate 3 and find yourself wanting to change your character’s appearance, specifically their selected race, you may be wondering if it’s possible. During character creation, there are plenty of options to customize your appearance. However, is it possible to customize your appearance after that initial setup? In this guide, we’ll explore whether you can change your appearance in BG3.
Yes, it is possible to change your appearance in Baldur’s Gate 3 by using the Mask of the Shapeshifter. However, this item is only available in the premium Deluxe edition of the game. If you’re playing the Deluxe edition, you can equip the Mask of the Shapeshifter to change your character’s appearance and select a different race. This item allows you to customize or respec your appearance whenever you want. However, if you don’t own the Deluxe edition, you won’t have access to this customization option.
If you do have the Mask of the Shapeshifter, here are the steps to change your appearance in Baldur’s Gate 3:
- Head to your camp and find the Mask of the Shapeshifter item.
- Open your inventory and equip the mask.
- Once equipped, you’ll see an icon with a mask and a plus sign.
- Choose any appearance you like from the available races.
- After selecting your appearance, unequip the mask to maintain the disguise.
Keep in mind that the appearance change granted by the Mask of the Shapeshifter is temporary and will only last until you take a long rest, as it functions as a level 1 Illusion spell. Unfortunately, there aren’t any other ways to change your character’s appearance in the game. Players without the Deluxe edition will have to stick with their initial choices.
However, it’s worth noting that developers may add an item for permanently altering appearance in future updates or patches. If such an item becomes available, we’ll be sure to update this guide with the details.
