+To change the starting equipment for your game's classes, you can edit the Equipment.txt file. But how do you do that?
+== Tools You'll Need ==
+You should just need the '''BG3 Modder's Multitool''' for this, which you'll use to extract the existing Equipment.txt file from the game. You'll also need a text editor, Notepad++ or VSCode are good options.
+== Extracting and Placing Equipment.txt ==
+Open up your Modder's Multitool and open Search Index. Search for Equipment.txt. Scroll down to '''Shared\Public\Shared\Stats\Generated\Equipment.txt''' and open the file folder.
+Now, in your Baldur's Gate 3 Data folder, create this file path: '''Data\Public\Shared\Stats\Generated'''
+Copy the Equipment.txt from the first Generated folder to this newly created one. This new Equipment.txt will overwrite the base game settings for equipment.
+== Editing Equipment.txt ==
+Before making any changes, we recommend making a copy of the Equipment.txt and naming it something like "Equipment - OG Copy.txt". This is so you can easily revert back to the default later if you so choose.
+Now open up Equipment.txt in your text editor. It's a huge file, but you'll see something like this at the top.<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
+new equipment "_PC_Equipment"
+new equipment "EQP_Unarmed"

+</syntaxhighlight>This equipment entry sets the starting equipment for Barbarian. Here's an edited example, where Barbarian is set to spawn in with nothing but their underwear:<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">

+new equipment "EQP_CC_Barbarian"

+<!-- file continues -->
+</syntaxhighlight>As you can see, EQP_CC_Barbarian has been changed to match EQP_Unarmed, which will cause them to spawn in with nothing. The original EQP_CC_Barbarian has been renamed to EQP_CC_Barbarian2, so that if we want to later revert the Barbarian back to default equipment, we can simply delete our EQP_CC_Barbarian entry and rename EQP_CC_Barbarian2 to EQP_CC_Barbarian.
