Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

It would be helpful if the nexus or new character areas had simple equipment with +health enchantments on them. I currently feel it is very frustrating to attempt basic low level areas by yourself when enemies can hit for damages well over a characters starting health pool.

A basic assortment of low cost +2 or +3 hp gear which when purchased all together giving a starting level 1 player an extra +10 or +15 health points would be a significant step in improving the new character experience.

Something more extreme like a 1 hp regen shirt would also be helpful for a new players because the limited starting gold (1000) and the purchase of starting equipment leaves little money for healing supplies.
I think a shirt would be ideal because it encourages a new character to quickly replace it with something more suitable for their class.

These do exist, albeit not convniently directed for new players.
Find the Wide in Baldur's Gate - there is a vendor with these items outside the Lude Lyre tavern

Regeneration Cloaks are available for ~7000 at the cloak vendor in ... I want to say the Manor District

It's good they exist but i've had a few friends start underdark/orc characters recently and the support network isnt as well established.
Putting things like this in the nexus would give the access to everyone. I think its a good short term solution so the devs don't have to update a half dozen different inventories.

I don't think i've seen the vendor you are referring to so i'll go check it out.
As far as the cloaks are concerned are you talking about the epic cloaks? Those are about 80k gold and not really something a new character has immediate access to.

Egil Darius in the Wide. As a guild vendor, any items that debuted with his introduction are sold exclusively by him, which unfortunately includes the Sturdy Novice accessories.

Seven Suns in the Manorborn District, and a nameless (AFAIK) shop inside a building in the Dark Weavings (i.e. the "Sshamath" map), sell lesser versions of those cloaks with reduced skill bonuses, no AC, etc., for 6-15k depending on the item and your Appraise score.

Had a look at those shops and those items are pretty much perfect
Are these vendors located also in sshamath somewhere? If not I would like to request it.
Finally, a "Basic Equipment For New Adenturers!" sign or something equivalent directing players to this vendor would be informative.

The "sturdy" line of equipment would be ideal for the nexus if at all possible, or some equivalent for underdark/soubar based characters. I keep stressing the nexus because I feel it's very important for new characters/players to have immediate access to equipment like this and not have to go looking for it. It would be even more rewarding if new players got access to a simple questline that gave them access to the equipment as a prize.

I had several people join the server recently and they expressed alot of frustrations at the level 1-2 experience.
If none of these solutions are possible then please just be aware this is a problem for new players.

Thank you for your considerations.
