THE history Of: baldur’s GATE

ankheg armour

Forged from the shell of a giant Ankheg, this suit is as strong as plate mail, yet as light as leather armour.

bag of holding

For those adventurers obsessed with loot, this magical bag is a must given it can stack an amazing 100 items inside its soft folds.

elixir of health

This ubiquitous brew restores precious hit points in an instant, making it a vital addition to any adventurer’s backpack.

wand of magic missiles

This trusty wand can be used by any class, making it a good alternative to ranged weapons for rogues or clerics.

rod of resurrection

Has Minsc gone off and got himself killed again? No problem! One wave of this rod and any deceased party member is brought back to life.

helmet

Coming in all shapes and sizes, helmets offer little in the way of AC. They do, however, protect against critical hits, meaning warriors should always wear one.

magic ring

Carry more loot! Move faster! Look like you’re wealthy! All of this and more can be yours, with a band imbued with potent magical properties.

sling

Wizards aren’t exactly fond of hand-to-hand combat, but they can’t use bows either. Answer: this nifty sling for when the spells run out.

composite Longbow

Stronger and more flexible than a standard longbow, these are essential for taking down enemies at a distance.

bastard sword

The ‘sword-and-a-half’ can be used one-handed, leaving the other hand free to wield a shield for some extra protection.
