About this mod

Adds Helm statue's sword and shield to the game for players. Plus tabard item for all races.

Items
This mod adds the sword and shield from Helm's statue in the Stormshore Tabernacle as equippable items, perfect for your Paladin or Cleric.
These are optimised UVs with textures hand edited by me. The models are on the blocky side since they were originally meant for a statue, but I think they look pretty good.
As of v2, this mod also has a unique heavy armour item using the Scale Mail Paladin model. All body types, as well as Wine and Revelry Satyr Race, are supported.

If you hate the stats then use something like Transmog.


Location
The items are in the Sorcerous Vault, in the same hidden chest as Foebreaker.

However, once a worldspace has been loaded every treasure table is set, so you would need to restart the level in its entirety to regenerate chest contents. For this reason I have also placed them in the Tutorial Chest, in case you already played through that level or just want the weapons earlier.

You can use a mod like this or this or this to access the tutorial chest at any time.

The item UUIDs are these if you wish to manually spawn them:
Shield: 1ba67377-2586-4500-bf07-aa1a0f9bc350
Sword: a0115feb-039e-4396-a5f4-a02c1f340056

Known Issues
- The Blade Ward effect can fire off on 'temporarily hostile' characters you initiate attack on, same as the 'Reviving Hands' gloves. This is not really fixable with how the game classes Ally/Enemy/Character.
- The armour has the wrong colour preset in the examine window, although the correct one when dropped. It's not that big a deal so I'm ignoring it for now.

Misc Files
I made a tiny optional addon for pooteeweet's customisable mod Paladin and Cleric Gear which gives the 'blank' items from that mod a Helm decal. Instructions for installing are here.  (Has nothing to do with the main mod. But it's Helmy so I put it here.)

How to Install
Recommended that you install with BG3 Mod Manager. A guide to BG3MM installation of mods can be found here.

To uninstall the mod, you need to resummon the tutorial chest, drop all the items and bags back in it, let the chest disappear, and save. Or use Trashcan. However, I do not recommend uninstalling any mods that add items mid playthrough, and I cannot help you if you run into difficulties because of this.

Future Plans
  • Editing weapon armatures is currently difficult. When it becomes more straightforward, I will add some radiant VFX to the sword.
  • When adding scripts to levels becomes easier, it would be nice to have them spawn from making an offering to the Helm statue itself. I did consider putting them in the box in the Tabernacle basement, but that would require stealing offerings from Mr. Helm so that one's off the table.
  • Add a greatsword since people seem to want one (see above for weapon armature issues, though).
