Cryptic has today revealed a new developers journal that delves deep into the available character customisation for upcoming Dungeons & Dragons MMO Neverwinter, giving players the chance to create a character in their own way with advanced tools.

Similar to their recent Star Trek Online, Cryptic's Neverwinter MMO will offer players the chance to create characters with varying degrees of physical difference, plus a combination of gender, race and class.

In Neverwinter, character creation begins with choosing a race, class, and gender combo. Each race comes with unique racial abilities, which grants some bonuses to core stats -- strength, constitution, and more. These racial abilities allow players to fully customize their play style. Furthermore, stats are also customizable, both through your choice of race and through rolling.

Create a sharp looking avatar with a large scale of options to customize physical appearance. There will be an option to choose from several preset looks or individually fine-tune each facet of your character - slim or lengthen hands, change shape and complexion, add height, show battle scars or tattoos, and much more.

For an overview of what you can expect, check out the recent developer diary which goes into more depth on what exactly can be changed about your character, but you can also check out some of the screenshots below for a glimpse at some finished characters (click here for more).
