ThrustorPrime Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I have a lot of stuff in my inventory meant for Khem Val. Everything says "requires heavy armor." What do I need to do to get this boy dressed in some decent equipment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psandak Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 in your character sheet window (press the C key), there is a companion tab. Click that tab. If you are on your ship you can then select any companion you have and apply equipment. Just make sure that the companion is not on any crafting or gathering crew skill mission. If you are in the field then whichever companion you have as active will be the only one you can equip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternalnight Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Nothing, just put it on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrustorPrime Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 I've tried opening the inventory and right clicking, but it says "You don't have the skill to use that item." How do I get the skill required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haliy Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) You don't get the skill but if you have Khem out with his character window up, you should have no problem. As psandak said, open up your character window but with Khem Val out. on the bottom of the window will be a character tab. Click that and it should show your companions equipment now instead of yours. Now with your inventory window open at the same time, try to equip his gear as you would your own. I've tried opening the inventory and right clicking, but it says "You don't have the skill to use that item." When you do it this way, your basically telling the game you want to equip it to yourself and not your companion Edited March 7, 2013 by haliy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do I get the skill required? The "you" in "you dont have the skill" means you. Stop trying to put it on yourself and put it on Khem Val Press C and have your companions gear window opened.

ThrustorPrime Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks for all the replies. Okay, I opened up Khem's window, moved several items into the slots. When I close the window, he's unchanged, still just a loincloth. Maybe I'm missing a step? Also, I'm a Sith Assassin. Would that be a problem?

Khem (and other companions that differ considerably from the standard humanoid body types) does not have armor visuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markooz Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Khem's appearance doesn't change with equips. The only way to change how he looks (along with Bowdaar and I'm guessing the droids) is through Companion Customizations that you equip onto them. The gear is still working, it just doesn't change his appearance. Hope that explains it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemerchick Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 He always looks like he is wearing just a loin cloth. Open the inventory window to make sure the armor to make sure it is all there. If so, you are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeToo Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 While you can't see his equipped gear, there are companion "customizations" where you can change Khem's outword visual appearance. You'll find a few at various vendors on different planets for all companions (not just Khem). via Dulfy's site: an image for Khem's 'outfits" here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrustorPrime Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks again, all. The equipment is in place in the slots, so I guess he's okay. It never occured to me that his appearance wouldn't change. I thought I saw a Khem in a crowd on the Imperial Fleet wearing heavy black armor. I must have been mistaken. Much to learn still, have I. Urrgghh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urrgghh. you probably did see him wearing that. khem and a couple other companions in the game only have their equipment appearance change when you put on a companion customization Edited March 7, 2013 by Skodan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBerling Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 You could always try this: with the character screen open to Khem, look at his stats then unequip something that he is wearing. If you see adifference in his stats, everything is working the way it should.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
