USE ANY ITEM: Baldur's Gate 2, BG2

Use Any Item BG2

In Baldur's Gate 2, Use Any Item aka UAI is a high level ability or BG2 HLA that is available to Rogues such as Thieves, Bards and Kensai Thieves.

UAI allows Rogues to equip any item providing they have the stats to equip it. For example, we need a Dexterity score >=18 to equip Valygar's armor.

Not only is UAI the best Rogue HLA along with Set Spike Trap, but it is one of the best HLAs in BG2.

One of the reasons for that, is that UAI facilitates 100% magic resistance BG2.

Rogues take pride in their ability to adapt and make clever use of whatever is at hand. This ability is an extension of that basic skill. Once learned, the effect is permanent. The ability allows the rogue to use any item, even items that are typically restricted to one class. This allows the rogue to use everything from wands and scrolls to mighty weapons that none but a fighter could otherwise use.
