I'm a new player, and I logged in with my character all nice and shiny and finished, and my dwarven portrait selected. Well, needless to say, I soon met my demise. When I died, my portrait turned into a grinning skull. I resurrected back at my bind point, and continued running around. But, my portrait was still the skull. I logged out, and then back in, and the portrait on the "select character for the server" screen was no longer the hearty dwarf I had selected, but the generic golden-silhouetted human portrait. Then, when I logged back in, BAM- grinning skull portrait again. It just won't go away! Have I somehow acquired the rare "curse of the grinning skull?" Am I forced to forever wonder, with my fellow party members thinking I'm a death knight or a lich?
