This mod allows you to start a playthrough with some better equipment based on your class. Very easy to install / uninstall at will, whilst not breaking the save file upon uninstalling.

Version 1
Mod Released
This is the *Enhanced* Version of this mod, Starting you out with a better set of equipment based on your characters class (seen in the images above) This version of the mod does not come with duplicate items like the Overpowered Version.
Better Starting Equipment
This is the Second in a series of mods that will change the starting equipment of the classes. Check back occasionally for updates.
This version of the mod does effect the monk class, unlike the Overpowered Version, due to multiple classes not starting with a helmet.
Other Versions of this mod (including Future)
(This is no longer the Release order, but for those that are released you will find a link to the mod next to its description).
Overpowered Starting Equipment This is the original instalment of these mods, giving the player very overpowered equipment for them and their party. Link to OPSE
Lone Wolf Starting Equipment This Version of the mod will start each class with an overpowered set of equipment. What makes this a Lone Wolf set is the versatility of the Equipment, Starting with Armour & Weapons, but also potions, bags, pouches and some gold.
Overpowered Spellcaster Equipment This Version of the mod will be the same as the Overpowered Starting Equipment mod, but will start each of the Spellcaster Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Druid and Wizard with Overpowered Gear for all sorts of spellcasting glory.
5e Starting Equipment This Version of the mod will be accurate to the starting gear in 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons, for those looking for equipment suited to 5e
Realistic Starting Equipment This Version of the mod will give each of the classes slightly better equipment suited to their class, (e.g.): Paladins will start with Common Plate Armour and an Uncommon sword, and other classes will follow that same pattern yet have suitable equipment to their class.
There may also be other installations of this mod, but these are the one's I'm certain to make.

Known issues
Monk Class does not have any new starting equipment and is set to starting with base game equipment - This is also the case with Oath of Vengeance Paladin Fixed in 1.01.01
Not compatible with some mods, I don't yet have a list, best to check the Bugs tab on this page to cross reference any mods, or start a new game with only mods crucial to editing character appearance, alongside this one for now, and then uninstalling this mod once you have a save with your new character.
I Will keep this updated with any future issues / bugs
