📋 About This Mod
I love Alternate Perspective. It's a great alternative of ASLAL.
But what's with that 10,000 gold lying in the strong box? Huh, ignore them you say?
Well then this patch probably isn't for you.
But if you like me, who always choose the "wounded and barely alive" option in AP, you'll get my point.
This patch remove some (most actually) gear and loot that I consider "op" or "unbalanced" in the starting room.
Below is what you'll get now:
Iron Dagger x2,
Iron Sword x2,
Long Bow x1 + Iron Arrows x50
Hide Shield x1,
Hide Armor Set,
Beggar Clothes,
Spelbooks (Flame, Frostbite, Spark, Magelight, Conjure Familiar),
10 Lockpicks,
and some cheap gems.

💡 Beginner Tips
