Major Patch 8: last update probably. Should be set for life with that.
I've put an example entry in Articles, or here: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/articles/281
These documents are how you customize starting equipment for your heroes, companions, and other NPC characters. You must start a new game for the changes to manifest because, you know, they're starting equipment. In generated portraits, the individual wears clothes according to the adjustments made here. No longer a problem since magic mirror.
Doing this has become slightly more complicated since early access. And I noticed no one seems to be uploading these files anymore, so, I'll do you a solid.
Starting equipment for classes and companions has since full release been divided into 3 different folders and documents - Larian's problem, not mine. Below is a list of the characters/classes' names, their equipment entry name, and their locations.
