BITM base.xls

Defines base items, such as "Weapon - Longsword", used in the item editor.

Several worksheets in this Excel file are not actual 2DAs, they are present only for informational purposes.

A note when editing:

• SourceData - This is the worksheet where the information for the 2da should be edited.
• BITM_Data - This worksheet is a mirror of the data from SourceData (but only the columns that the game cares about)
