Bug; Using custom skin-changing widgets or 1k faces and selecting 'standard races' (ie the menu that lets you pick a half-orc/elf etc) causes erratic behavior. Such as missing heads, tails vanishing, skin color or body type being over-written with the forms base colors, all sorts of things.

Some of these (such as a loss of tail) can persist through a log out/log on. Only by selecting 1k faces "return to default appearance" and then sometimes logging-in and logging-out can fix it. Very annoying when dragon-shape turns me into a naked kobold instead of a dragon, and shifting back turns me back to normal sans-tail, or selecting 'elf' from 1k faces turns me into a headless legless monstrosity, despite using both of the widgets 'correctly' and under dm supervision. Note that these bugs only happen with 'custom' content, such as skin-change widgets and the 1k faces item. Nothing from the base game (dragon shape, elemental form) causes any issues.

DM TormakSaber suggested this was because of the dynamic kobold body and may be a very longstanding bug never addressed because it's a rare combination of things to have and recommended I make a bug report.

The 1k faces widget gives problems like this to even normal PCs. It has some issues.

Kill me

Also this is I think the first time it's ever actually given me a head when I used it.

work around discovered.

by 'returning to original appearance' then changing into a smurfbarflin, it will change me into an ugly red monster, with a head. From there I can directly change into other races and keep my head.

Of course going back I turn into a freakish monster and need to re-log, but at least I can use it now.
