📋 About This Mod

When the illithids dragged you onto the Nautiloid, they didn't just put a tadpole in your head—they emptied your pockets. F. R. E. E. allows you to recover your past by placing a "Confiscated Belongings" chest on the ship. Instead of waking up with nothing, you can reclaim a randomized assortment of your previous worldly possessions, ensuring every new campaign starts with a unique twist. (Located in the same room as Us).

What’s in the Trunk? You are guaranteed 2 randomized Uncommon items, you have a 33% chance to roll 1 Rare item, and a chance to recover various common items to truly ground your character's backstory.

⚠️ Important Disclaimer Due to how the game handles loot, if you roll a Unique item in your Confiscated Belongings chest, it may not appear in its usual location out in the world. Consider it found early!

- Supports items from Fade's Equipment Distribution AIO and my Individual Class Equipment Mods.

Blacklisted Items:

Uncommon: Club of Hill Giant Strength, Caustic Band, Crusher's Ring, Callous Glow Ring, Returning Pike, Helmet of Arcane Acuity, The Shadespell Circlet, and Pearl of Power Amulet.

Rare: Phalar Aluve, Titanstring Bow, Boots of Speed, Risky Ring, Martial Exertion Gloves, Sentient Amulet, The Deathstalker Mantle, and Gibus of the Worshipful Servant.
