Item Pack v1.2 released, New items plus a few tweaks Options

[Daulmakan]

Item Pack v1.2 adds several new items to Baldur's Gate II, as well as a few item related tweaks.

Here's the mod's overview:

I. Item Pack v1.2 (Requires Throne of Bhaal)
============
This is the mod's main component. It will add 31 brand new items to the game, mostly taken from the Icewind Dale series & Planescape: Torment, though modified in several cases. The items themselves are dispersed throughout the game: some of them can be bought in stores, others will be in possession of enemies or other NPCs. In two particular instances, two of the new items will replace vanilla ones as quest rewards (don't worry, you can still get those somewhere else). Cespenar will forge a new item for you as well.
There are two spoiler files included with the mod with the abilities for each item and their exact location if you're curious.


II. Extra Items
==========
Adds a pair of Boots of Speed and a Potion Case to Ribald, a Bag of Holding to one of the containers near the Jailkeep Golem in Chateau Irenicus, the Cloak of Balduran to one of the chests in Irenicus' room, and an extra chunk of Illithium to Neb so you can upgrade the Mace of Disruption and complete Sir Sarles' quest at the same time. .


III. Tweaked Items
=============
This component will tweak several items so that:
- The Greenstone is changed to provide its immunity effects simply by being equipped.
- The same goes for the Shield Amulet
- The Darksteel Shield's resistance to poison is changed to resistance to electricity.
- The Scarlet Ninja-to will now be equippable by fighter classes (except Beastmaster) and thieves.
- The Studded Leather of Thorns +6 will now inflict 3D4 points of Fire damage (instead of just 1D4) and provide a small measure of Fire resistance (+25%)
- The Short Sword of Mask has double chance (30%) of triggering both of its special abilities.

In all cases the item descriptions are updated to reflect the changes.


IV. Convenient Free Action Items
=======================
This will change the Flail of Ages, Ixil's Spike, and the Ring of Free Action so that they no longer prevent the wielder from being hasted (they will still provide protection against hold, slow, and other similar effects).


V. More Distinguishable Items
=====================
This component will change the inventory BAMs for the Ring of Regeneration, the Girdle of Fortitude, the Saving Grace shield, the Defender of Easthaven flail, the Robe of Vecna, and Dak'kon's katana. Previously, the Girdle of Fortitude looked exactly the same as the Belt of Inertial Barrier, the Ring of Regeneration was very similar to the Ring of Human Influence, the Saving Grace shield was identical to the Shield of Balduran, and the same thing happened with the Defender of Easthaven and the Flail +2. Ditto for the Robe of Vecna with the Robe of Cold Resistance and Dak'kon's katana with the Katana +1. They should all stand out now.


VI. Familiar Faces (Requires Throne of Bhaal)
============
This will make Joluv and Deirdre appear in Amkethran's Inn, in case you forgot to buy something or didn't have enough funds while in SoA.


VII. More Work for Cromwell
====================
This component will allow Cromwell to forge more items for you, as follows:

Ring of Protection +2
Cloak of Protection +2
Mace of Disruption +2
Ilbratha +3
Belm +4
Jhor the Bleeder +4
Adjatha the Drinker +4
Periapt of Proof Against Poison

Cromwell will tell you ingame what's needed, or you can check the ReadMe for the components needed for each item.
