Like in D:OS2 and BG2 we start as prisoners.
It makes no sense to have any starting equipment.
Illithids use psycho powers when they fight, they have no need for an armory.
Only their slaves would have weapons, maybe.
Our chars should start with nothing but normal cloth and we find the first weapon and armors on the corpses in the area from the battle between devils and illithids.
Why?
They obviously didnt bother to disarm and undress Lae'zel, or Shadowhearth ... why should our character get special threatment?
Yes, we are prisoners ... prisoners that was simply teleported inside those illithid pods right from their usual day (or night in Astarion case i presume) where we were as it seems put into some sort of stasis, since Lae'zel is waking up, when pod is open ... also, none of us present any threat to any Mind Flayer, so why should they even bother with our sticks and stones?
