To be perfectly honest ...
Im not exactly sure why Astarion starting gear is even armor ... in my honest opinion, it should be regular clothing prepared for our Wizards to steal. >:]

I mean ... is Larian trying to tell us that noble people in Faerûn preffer hard and unconfortable leather, over smooth silk? laugh

Anyway, yeah +1 ... simple recollor is pretty bad design for any item we find. :-/
The more the merier!

I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. frown
Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are! frown
