Deep Imaskari colours

[deserk]

I really doubt most people are going to be opinionated on this issue either way lol, but hopefully a DEV with enough interest could take the time to edit a color.2da file (if I knew what the 2da file was called I could do it meself).

Could we get the option of more greyish skin tones (not dark like drows, but rather light grey) rather than only the pasty white? It would offer them a distinctive look, rather than forcing all of them to look like people with complete lack of vitamin D.

The books say the following "Physical Description: A deep Imaskari appears mostly human. Her skin looks pale and stonelike, as if expertly sculpted from the finest veined marble, though it is as soft as human skin to the touch. (This stonelike appearance is a remnant of the magical alteration that all the Imaskari underwent to survive in Deep Imaskar.)" (Underdark, 3.5)

It does say pale, but it does also say stone-like which would imply certain grey like texture. And also says marble-like, and marble can come in many different shades.

not all stone is gray... marble, for instance can be many colors, but is usually a sort of off white, sometimes veined with gray or black. Shale and Obsidian are black, many stones are brown...(you get the idea.)

I read the quote you used that the skin is supposed to be pale (as, indeed there is no sun to provide them with vitamin D!) whereas the 'stonelike' / sculped from marble is more about the texture of the skin 'sculpted from the finest veined marble' would even more lend credence to the idea of smooth, alabaster skin tones.

Just my two cents...
