Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance/Armor

Armor is important to keep your character out of danger as your opponents gets tougher. It's effective if you have a full set of armor like helmet, body, gloves and boots, but it will add to the weight of the character.

Save up a lot of gold to get the most powerful armor for each act so you can survive until the end of the game.

For Adrianna, there's also a special body armor which doesn't take up as much weight. Until you upgrade the strength, you're better off with the special body armor.
