Edits the starting armors, they will now look different on Githyankis while retaining the same appearance for the other races.
Do you hate that when making a githyanki Tav they are cosplaying as a good little Baldurian ? Shouldn't have they been wearing something like Lae'zel when they were captured ?
so I fixed it for myself and I'm sharing the result here for those who were bothered by it too.
this mod gives the Githyankis their own unique versions of the starting armors, while leaving the ones of the other races untouched.
it also does the same thing with the camp outfit.
it's entirely made with vanilla game assets ( i didn't want to put too much work into this lmao, so no blender and no texturing ) so my choices for parts were very limited and it kind of shows, the armors are very simple.
WHERE TO FIND THEM: On your character, in CC ! they are nowhere else in the game. And obviously they will ONLY show up and be equiped on a new game !
