The term "Paper Doll" refers to the human figure seen in the Inventory window, which players dress up with various items. In Diablo III the paper doll is part of the [[Inventory]] menu.
This [[interface]] has undergone numerous revisions during the game's development. The most recent, seen in August 2010, was said by the [[D3 Team]] to be nearly-final, and unchanged during the past six+ months of development.
==Changes from Diablo II==
[[Image:Paper-doll1.jpg|thumb|250px|Annotated Inventory, August 2010 .]]
The [[Diablo III]] version of the inventory/paper doll is changed in a variety of ways. The [[Inventory]] page details the improvements to the inventory and character storage space. Other differences include:
* There are two more item slots in Diablo III -- [[Shoulder Pad]]s and [[Pant]]s are new item types, joining the [[Helm]], [[Amulet]], [[Ring]]s, [[Armor|Chest Armor]], [[Belt]], [[Boots]], [[Gloves]], and [[weapons|Weapon slots]] of [[Diablo II]].
* There's no space now for weapon switch slots. It's assumed that feature will return, but just hasn't been worked into the graphics yet. * The [[Talisman]] is probably not going to be a new type of item/function. ==New or Missing Features==[[Image:Paper-doll1.jpg|thumb|250px|Annotated Inventory, August 2010 .weapon switch hotkey]]There's no visible slot for the weapon switchin Diablo III. At least not yet. The [[Talisman]] is apparently back in the initial game. It was disabled at Blizzcon in October 2008, but the graphic looks just the same in this new shot, six months later. Nothing is known about the functionThus no tab to select it.
* The empty square on the lower left [[Talisman]] is presumably reserved for a future feature. Or perhaps a feature that's already in, but that the D3 team didn't want players to see just yetnew type of item/function about which many mysteries still remain.
* The left and right hands [[Adventurer's Pack]] is out of the character are switched; what looks like left in the paperdoll actually appeared on the right, at least in the WWI gameplay movie. This switch doesn't seem likely to have any game play importanceas of 2010, though. The whole inventory window is narrowerand will probably stay gone. In Diablo III, it only takes up 1/3 earlier builds this was an item slot that determined the size of the screen width. It consumed half the screen in Diablo II. Items now show a small image of themselves on their hover display, as seen in this thumbnailplayer's inventory.
During the GamesCom 2010 Artisan reveal video, a new updated avatar was seen. This is probably not the last iteration of the inventory.
See the [[inventory]] article for more on the changes to this interface during game development.
