After creating your own character and exploring the regions a bit in Dragon’s Dogma 2, Arisen will eventually reach a camp with a Riftstone. Interact with the huge stone to start customizing your Main Pawn, which is basically the Pawn you can send beyond the rift to help other Arisens complete their journey in Dragon’s Dogma 2.

If, by any chance, players aren’t satisfied with their Pawn appearance or inclination after playing with them for a while, it is possible to change everything after paying the required Gold. Another method to customize the Main Pawn is by purchasing a special book from a merchant and using it at any barberie shop.

Dragon's Dogma 2: How To Store Items

With a limitation on the weight Arisen can carry in Dragon's Dogma 2, it's important for players to occasionally store items and travel lightly.

How To Change Pawn Appearance In Dragon’s Dogma 2

To change the Main Pawn’s appearance in Dragon's Dogma 2, head to the Grand Riftstone of Vermund, which can be accessed from the Merchant Quarter in Vernworth. Vernworth is the capital of Vermund, and usually, players head there after completing a couple of Melve Quests. Simply speak with Officer Gregor and he will escort you to the capital.

Go inside the Grand Riftstone of Vermund and speak with the merchant to buy the Art of Metamorphosis book for 500 RC. This item allows Arisen to use it only once at any barberie shop to change and customize their own appearance in Dragon’s Dogma 2, or their Main Pawn’s appearance and there are two copies at the merchant shop.

When you speak with the barberie shop owner before obtaining the book, there will be only normal options to change appearance using Gold in Dagon’s Dogma 2. However, after purchasing the Art of Metamorphosis, an extra option to modify appearance will be available for free.

The book allows you to either customize a new Pawn, choose a preset Pawn, or modify the current Pawn for free. Sadly, it seems there isn’t an option to change the Pawn’s name, even if players created one from scratch. Once you are done, the book will be used, and you will have a modified or a new Main Pawn.

How To Change Pawn Inclination In Dragon’s Dogma 2

From the same merchant in the Grand Riftstone of Vermund, you will be able to purchase Rift Incense, which allows you to change the Main Pawn’s inclination in Dragon's Dogma 2. The available inclinations at the shop are:

All except one cost 2000 RC, which is not cheap by any means. So, make sure to know exactly which inclination you want before committing to one and buying it. RC can be collected by discovering destroyed Riftstones, and your Main Pawn will also bring back RC once they return from beyond the Rift, if they are summoned by another Arisen. Once you get the desired Rift Incense, open the menu item and use it to change the Main Pawn’s inclination.
