📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a small collection of equipment primarily intended for Body 2 Gith (both vanilla and modded subraces),
including a set of Armor/Clothing, Camp Clothing, and a Weapon.
All items (with exception of the Weapon) are dyeable. A number of examples are included in the mod images.
The glowing gems on the Armor will remain pink even when dyed.
This is first and foremost a personal mod for my personal Tav that I’m sharing on request.
I have no current plans to port any of the items included in this mod to any other races or bodies.
If you’d like to port these items yourself, please reach out to me first, preferably via DM or by tagging me in the BG3 Modding Community discord server.
