I counted the Hero of a Thousand Faces submissions from the start of the thread, and my current count is:
344/500
I hope that's accurate.
@Dee Will we get a warning before the end of the contest? A day or two would be nice, it would be a real shame if a massive forum-wide effort like this were cut short by surprise.
Hero of a Thousand Faces
Here is the Transmuter that I will take through all the games.
No custom portrait. I am still looking for something I can use.
Character Screen.
Amber is a weak and frail damsel who is quite agile, smart and wise (but not too much!), but who has never learned to socialize well. She was never able to stick up for herself and is a sheep in the herd. Never taking the initiative because people just do not notice her, never taking a different path than the one shown to her. Gorion thought her an exemplary student, though not very outspoken.
She dabbled in transmutation spells because they have the ability to overcome her weakness and frailness. If only they can give her the confidence she needs in life. She has a mild association with the arts of invocation but not enough to learn the spells.
As such, during her adventure she will only learn transmutation spells in her spell book and may use on occasion invocation scrolls on the side for additional protection and offensive power (transmutation and invocation complete each other very well for a melee mage).
With her magical hands (burning hands, colour spray, shocking grasp) and a trusty dagger, she will get up close and personal with her opponents.
Having 3 hitpoints, a thac0 of 22 and a chance to doing 0 damage on a hit is actually a lot of fun. If I would create a personal item for her it would be a dagger of luck. Luck Gorion would have bestowed upon it in the hopes it would rub off on her.
Edit: btw, I edited the UI.menu already, so yes, this is BGEE beta.
I'm super thrilled by the enthusiasm, but milestone progress will only count submissions from people running the beta.
And just a note to everyone: there have been at least two selfies that have been submitted and counted erroneously that were either not showing the beta in action, or were a fabrication entirely. These selfies were part of the counts before, but they will not count toward the completion of milestones. Please be mindful of the roadmap's rules!
Damn! No CLUAConsole in real life?! How are we supposed to play it? It's already a LoB++!
I bid you good day, and introduce Klaus Sveldegard, Paladin of Helm (Cavalier kit). Running BGEE 1.3 on a Mid 2013 Macbook Air 11" OS El Capitan 10.11.4
Also tempted to take Durim Runeheart, Dwarven Defender trained in the ways of dwarven combat by Reevor and Arkanis.
Edit: Added Durim.

With my immense intellect and imagination, and the power to create whatever I choose... Look on and be awed!
And... That portrait has loo roll mummy wrappings around his head... I feel that we are attuned somehow...
Penguins, Rectangles and Fruit...
Photographic proof that no penguins live on my laptop... This is because my laptop top, does not provide a suitable habitat or food to allow a penguin to thrive... However a rectangle has made a home here and a raisin fell between the keys on the keyboard back in 2008... And as far as I know it is still there...
Question, is there an SoD bug thread? I couldn't find it after a quick glance. I noticed when you die in The Black Pits (I die a lot because I suck) it brings you to the load save game screen but it's for standard BG:EE and not The Black Pits.

@Vallmyr OP in this thread gives all the 411 on reporting bugs:

I already reported this bug on Redmine some time ago.
Hero of a Thousand Faces
Here comes Wade, the most dangerous halfling on the Sword Cost. Ther is more than meets the eye about this guy. He's extremly fast, very strong and if you think that you can knock out this little guy in one shot you're in big mistake. Even if you lucky to get close enough before he make strainer out of you it will take a lot of shots to beat him.
@Pecca: That indeed does look amazing! Am I assuming correctly that it is larger than the default screen?
Though, if you don't mind me nitpicking a bit:
- Any chance to convert all the red to a more gold like color, like the one used by the buttons at the bottom? The red seems so out of place.
- The order in the leftmost pane is a bit messy. Damage is above THAC0. You need to hit in order to apply damage, so swapping those would make sense. Likewise, to me it would also make sense to place HP at the top, and AC underneath that, but that's just a minor thing.
- Finally, Kit Description could perhaps be named Class and Kit Description? And what does Stats lead to? We can see all the stats on the main screen!
Countdown for "Hero of a Thousand Faces": 135 if Dee's ever watchful eyes agree with mine
This is good news ^_^ Do we have a tally yet of all the acceptable selfies yet? I looks impossible to reach 50 now, but we at least have to have enough for *one* baldurised portrait!

Yeah, you should probably stick to the female ones.

I am also desperately searching for the backup of my Charnames I made before I got this new computer...
A team that was not meant to be:
Edits:
Penguins, Rectangles and Fruit
(Staff party of Candlekeep Inn
Also, 2x rectangles. I wonder if they count as two, it's two different monitors
And Know thy selfie
Found this gem I was messing with a while ago:
Edit: just realized it's not made in a 2.0 game...
Wot?
They should all be human but multiclasses match their skills better.

Here's another charname, a nice triple class F/M/T, that is much more helpful to modify the UI.
I have also inserted images of the rest of the record UI tabs in case anyone wants to see my incremental changes to the record UI
Val'Grazbeth, evil priest of Bahgtru.

Would be fun to recruit Zach Galifianakis
Oh my. THAT CHARACTER SHEET IS AMAZING!!! I can see all the info in just one screen! Bravo!
WoT themed party FTW!
For the gnoooooomes!
