📋 About This Mod

Long time no see, Petals!

New Checkmate armour is here for you <3

Compatible with BT1 humans, half-elves, elves and tieflings.

Box contains fully dyeable and non-dyeable versions of armour, camp clothes and one pretty violet dye (because I love you).

Has physics. Tested on patch 8, but it should be alright on patch 7 as well.

Install with BG3MM or just drop .pak into Mods folder.

All items in the box in the Tutorial Chest (use Tutorial Chest Summoning).

Also you can buy box with everything from merchants (take long rest if the box is not showing up):

  • []Act 1: Arron;

    []Act 2: Talli;

  • Act 3: our brilliant fashion guide Figaro Pennygood <3

If you don't want to see items on vendors use Vanilla Vendors (put my mod above it in load order).
