📋 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.
- 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.

Fade's Randomized Early Equipment
Fade's Randomized Early Equipment adds a balanced chest of randomized starting gear to the Nautiloid, guaranteeing uncommon items with a chance for rare loot. This mod is for Baldur's Gate 3 players who want a fresh start with varied equipment without unbalancing the early game.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fresh start every playthrough—no more same old gear.
- Guaranteed uncommon items mean you're never stuck with trash.
- Small but active community (38 endorsements) and decent downloads (1,762).
⚠️ Cons
- Only 38 endorsements—might be overlooked by many players.
- Last updated May 2026—could be outdated if the game has had patches since.
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who enjoy variety and a bit of RNG in their starting equipment. Perfect for those who replay the game often and want to mix up the early game. Skip if you prefer handcrafted, fixed starting gear or if you're a purist about game balance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod in your Mods folder and enable it in the in-game mod manager.
- If you're using other mods that alter starting equipment, load this one after them to avoid conflicts.
- Check the chest on the Nautiloid right after the prologue starts—it should be near your starting area.
