Hey Irenicus,
To strip items from BG2, you have to download the Bifftool (not Biffstripper like BG1 used).
Then you extract Bifftool from the zip file into the 'Data' directory in BG2. There are two Bifftool icons to execute, DOS version and BG2/Infinity version. Run the BG2 icon version and it will create items files (.itm) and spell files (.spl) in your BG2 data directory. You have to request the file type you want to create (therefore you must run it once for .itm and once for .spl).
Then you can open any of these files with the Infinity Editor. The filenames don't give much clue as to the nature of the item... so you will need to make a list or something. I have a partial list of spells and their files if anyone is interested, I can e-mail it to you in EXCEL format.
But, I also hear that you can simply extract an item from Shadowkeeper. Supposedly then you can edit the item with the Infinity Editor without searching through the .itm files like I did. I haven't tried that method yet, though.
