📋 About This Mod
Patch 5 compatible
Items are set to appear on Jergal/Skeleton Merchant after each rest.
Bracers of Archery:
Longbow and Shortbow proficiency
+ 2 to hit , + 2 damage with ranged weapons.
Not visible slot for short races.
Lack of models for some races and very different male vs female looks:
I used the files available and the sculpts and texture files are similar but different.
Raw notes and gear colors
I didn't decide on colors fully. If you want to go from Black to the Raw version you have to fully unequip the item first and re-equip.
I may do another color pass in the near future but am behind on work.
A few of my favorite things:
I've added a few other inventory items I'm experimenting with.
I started with https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/90 by Antemaxx to bring these from existing graphic files.
I didn't really clean up the code... I'm sloppy.
Thanks also to Norbyte, ShinyHobo for the tools to make it happen and thanks to Padme4000 for her videos. Larian for the game and graphics. Inspirations from many other modders!
Adds Bracers of Archery and several new head slot styles to the skeleton merchant, plus a few experimental items. A small equipment mod for players wanting extra gear variety, with 59 endorsements and last updated in June 2021.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple drop-in addition: just find the skeleton merchant and grab the new gear.
- Lightweight mod with 59 endorsements and over 1,100 downloads — a niche pick but some folks dig it.
- Author's experimenting with extra items means you might stumble on something unexpected.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — may be incompatible with current game versions.
- Experimental items could be unbalanced or unfinished.
For players who want a bit more gear variety without overhauling the game. If you're a completionist hunting for new equipment, this adds a few pieces to track down. Skip if you want polished, fully documented content — this is a rough gem.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the skeleton merchant in the starting area — that's where the new gear spawns.
- Since the mod hasn't been updated since 2021, test it on a save you don't care about first.
- If the items don't appear, try reinstalling or checking for mod conflicts.
