Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Should we add stat requirements for equipment?

Yes, but not straightforward ones.
Ideally, items should have stat requirements that still let you be flexible about the stats you focus on.

Something like Heavy Armor for example, shouldn't require a high Strength, but rather a certain value of Strength+Constitution.

Another thing that I think should happen is a 'level bypass': once a character is of a high enough level, they should be able to ignore the stat requirements of a piece of gear.

So, for example:
-If I want to equip a level 2 sword, I'd need either a level 4 character, or the added value of Strength and Finesse to be higher than 24.
-If I want to equip a level 6 wand, I'd need either a level 8 character, or the added value of Intellect and Wits to be higher than 28.
-If I want to equip a level 4 heavy armor, I'd need either a level 6 character, or the added value of Strength and Constitution to be higher than 26.

Ect.
