📋 About This Mod
This is a simple mod to buff the AC of the Luminous Armor piece found in the Underdark, Selunite Outpost. The divine properties of this piece felt appropriate for my paladin in my own playthrough, but AC felt like too much of a drawback to standard +2 heavy pieces I had already looted.
This is a replacer mod, so you shouldn't have to worry about hunting it down from a specific container/merchant or using a spawn script :)
I have made the following changes to the item:
- changed from medium to heavy armour class
- +2 dex bonus removed
- disadvantage on stealth checks added
- AC changed from 15 to 18
- Icon and appearance changed from BP+1 to splint armour to better fit the stat changes
I use this mod in my own playthrough and have experienced no bugs or issues however this is my first BG3 mod - if you encounter any issues, please let me know and I'll see what I can do to fix them!
This mod reworks the Luminous Armour into Heavy armor, improving its AC and appearance. It's a small, focused tweak for players who want better stats and looks from this armor piece. With 20 endorsements and 627 downloads, it's a niche choice for those seeking a specific enhancement.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and direct: does exactly what it says, no bloat.
- Turns a light armor into heavy, giving you more protection if you prefer heavy builds.
- Visual upgrade means your character looks better while tanking hits.
⚠️ Cons
- Tiny mod with only 20 endorsements — not a lot of community validation.
- Last updated in September 2023 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
For players who like the Luminous Armour's look but want heavy armor stats. If you're a tanky build and want a unique heavy set, this is for you. Skip if you're fine with the original light armor or want more substantial changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple rework, just drop the files into your mod manager or data folder.

- If you're on PC, make sure to enable mods in the launcher settings.
