Change armor type

[Callirgos]

Is there any way to change armor types; heavy, medium, light?

 

Or could I give the character the armor proficiency 3 as an effect while equipped?

Moved to Modding Q&A. You should specify which game you're referring to if it's not BG2.

Change its itemtype.

Right, but changing the it type changes the max dex and spell failure too.

 

I've made peace with this bring impossible. I have a made other basic armors, but im totally restricted to the existing types. they cant be changed. It's time to move on to the next task.

 

Sadly, magic armor doesn't even reduce the armor check. I tested with chain mail and chain mail +1.

 

Worse, armor check doest even work the way it's supposed too.

Poor original design. They changed the ITM format anyway, so they could've made all of this settable per-item. But no.

The only way to affect these values in the item (spell failure, dex bonuses, etc) is item type and magic level.
