Dwarven throwing hammers for all the dwarves!

Tomarctus

I've recently created a dwarven ranger/cleric. Mostly because I wanted to play a dwarf specifically for the dwarven throwing hammer. I just love warhammers, and chucking them towards people sounds lovely. I chose ranger/cleric because I love the concept of a dwarven ranger and it seemed fun to have lots of spells added to that. Now that I've reached trademeet and was about to purchase the dwarven thrower, I noticed that I could not use it. I thought it was only useable by dwarves, but apparently its only useable by legal dwarf class combinations. Since I obviously eekeepered the dwarven ranger/cleric, this is not a legal combination and the ranger/cleric class is prohibited from using the dwarven throwing hammer.

Since this hammer was a big reason for wanting to play this character, it feels silly not to be able to use it. Is there an easy way to remove this ranger/cleric restriction so that my dwarf can actually start throwing hammers at people?

I do use eekeeper but I don't think it has an option to change item stats. Other that that I'm not really familiar with any programs to alter the game. If possible I would like a permanent fix so that other illegal dwarf class combinations could use the hammer as well (I really like them dwarves =P). This means using eekeeper to put the dwarven thrower into the main hand slot is not an option. I want to be able to switch it out for another weapon without constantly changing my save files.

Thanks in advance and I hope one of you can help me out to further the hammer into the faces of many a foe.

It's probably quite easy to remove the restriction on the item itself
Maybe you should post this in the modding part of the forum - they tend to help rather quickly.

Here you go: I've edited the Dwarven Thrower item file to allow ranger/clerics (and any other class that can normally use hammers) to wield the item (if they're dwarves).

Put the .itm file into your Baldur's Gate override folder in C:/Program Files/Baldur's Gate II Enhanced Edition/Data/00783/override or whatever it is for you.

Thanks for the comment Sed, I posted it here because it was the only one with spoiler warnings, but that might've been wiser all the same .

And artemius, that worked like a charm. Thanks alot!
