I'm looking for mods that work into the game that add balanced items, kits and npcs. I don't want an super-uber killer thing in any category I just want more stuff. The item upgrade mod looks ok so far. It lacks upgrades for some of the npc stuff which is bothersome. It would be cool if there was a chapter qualification on npc weapons so they were +1 in chapter 1. +3 for chapters 2-5 I think. +4 for six and +5 for seven. I don't think that would be too horribly unbalanced and then they could use their weapons through throne of bhaal. I also downloaded freedom's reign and another one from the same source with a similar title. I know there are a lot of custom items but it's just better when they fit into the game. Any ideas/advice?

Uhm, I see little hope there.
The "best weapons in the world" are not supposed to be the ones the characters start with. They have to fight to get them!

Still, Item upgrade allows you to upgrade some of the npc stuff, which is already very good imho... Think of Mazzy's sword!

What are exactly the npc weapons you would like to bring through higher levels?
(Telling me won't help you anyway... sorry... asking Wes would be better!)

Really, I can't think of a mod that gives you better equipment than Weimer's Item Upgrade.
Anyway, if you like Jan Jansen you could try Unclescrathy creations at Fable's site.

It would be, in SoA, where the designers deliberately made it so that you could finish off most of the chapter 2 quests after chapters 3 & 4, if you so wished.
