Finally I work out how to use the custom portrait function in Baldur's Gate... Damn you Interplay, for not making it clearer...
Cinto, the dwarven cleric...
Jess, the elven ranger...
Loek, the halfling thief...
Lucas, the human paladin...
Robbert, the gnome illusionist...
Robin, the half-elf fighter...
The gang's all ready to roll...
But as usual no-one can agree on a direction to go...
