This is a practical summary of all, non-cheating and normally in-game
accessible, noteworthy weapons and armor in BG2.
In my oppinion, of course.
It is aimed for a fan of the game, who wishes to have a list of weapons and
armor ready for eventual future gaming sessions with different characters. This
way he can see what weapons and armor to expect in the game when creating a
fighter-type character.
I have sorted the items in logical (to me...) groups for an easy and QUICK
reference.
They are,
Weapons:
-One handed close combat
(Axes,Clubs,Flails,Maces,Hammers,Daggers,Short-,Bastard-,LongSwords,
Scimitars)
-Two handed close combat
(Halberds,Spears,TwoHandedSwords,Staves)
-One handed ranged
(Slings,ThrowingAxes,ThrowingDaggers,ThrowingHammers)
-Two handed ranged
(ShortBows,LongBows,LightCrossbows,HeavyCrossbows)
Armor:
-Leather Armor(Leather,StuddedLeather)
-Metal Armor(Chain,Splint,Plate,FullPlate)
-Special Armor
-Shields(Small,Medium,Large)
-Helmets

There are many good BG2 faqs available, but none I've seen had a short
reference like this. Many of those faqs are pretty okay, but resemble an novel
because of their size and contain much useless information.
So, I made this.
I hope someone other than me finds it USEFUL.

If you intend to print this out, I find the font size 5 and the three columns
per page layout ideal.

Weapons and Armor "with a name" have their location stated.
Please note that some items seem to be randomly spawned or duplicated, so the
locations may vary.
Why there are copies of items?
I don't know. All I know is that it ruins the gaming illusion.
