Mod for selecting starter equipment?

[Pierre]

Is there a mod that allows you to select starter equipment?

I'm just looking for a way to start with a Spear and Shield as a human fighter with the protection style, instead of having to trod around for a while trying to find them before I can take advantage of my skills/proficiencies.

Such a mod makes no sense. Storywise it adds up starting disadvantageous, and it does not take long until you have access to all kind of weapons. Players who play the game multiple times already can get there in less than 30 minutes.

It makes plenty sense.

I started my game as a Drow Rogue, with a generic leather armor and a shortsword.

Would have been nice if i could have started with Drow armor, maybe choose two daggers instead of the sword. Maybe i'd want to role play i was captured whilst out on the town, and just wearing regular clothes instead of armor (add a bit of challenge).

It would of course be unbalanced if you could pick all the best gear of the game, but it woulden't have to be like that, you could make it so all the armor has the same stats, so it's purely for visual and roleplay purposes.

yeah its weird you dont get to pick your starter equipment.

don't think there is a mod for it though either, sorry

The closest thing you're looking for is the mod that spawns a chest with every armor/weapon in the game in it. It's a little tedious but it works.

>Crouch to make the spell visible
>Cast it to spawn the chest in inv
>Enter turn based mode
>Take item barrel out of chest, dropping it in inventory
>Get the items you want from the barrel
>Put the barrel back into the chest from your inventory
>End turn based mode and wait a few turns for the chest to respawn and reset

It makes perfect sense what are you on about? I should start with proper Gith gear if I make a Gith character no matter the class

Yeah I think that would be a good idea. At least some options to pick starter gear that's not over-the-top or anything (like picking plate mail armor).

But, would be nice if my paladin started with a longsword instead of a warhammer.

アンジェル's responses are most often blabber disguised as insightful answers. Most of the time users don't understand what they're trying to convey, like now.

Some would call these, "nothing burger" answers. Pay it no mind fellow modders.

we all begin our roleplaying at the same spot, breaking free from a squid containment tube with most of our belongings gone.

So, what you want are Equipment mods, except Nexus calls them "Weapons and Armor".

Those mods usually put items in the Tutorial Chest in the Nautiloid. This is good for anything you want to start off with.

Here's a mod focused on better starting equipment.

A couple options, pick the version that works best for you.
