Summary
One of the features I really like in DAO is the set bonuses. They encourage using similar armor pieces, and act as an effective means of balancing powerful armor effects more easily. I also really like how certain pieces can also be substituted in for others that aren't actually part of the set, such as the Armor of the Divine Will and Effort.

- Fixes:
- This mod also includes a few misc fixes I noticed while working. The Blackblade Helm was restricted to Rogues, despite neither of the other Light Armor sets working like this. This has been changed (the Boots and Gloves are still restricted. This is consistent with the Awakening design philosophy). The Stormchaser Gauntlets and Barbed Fists appeared to have the wrong material. Stormchaser Gauntlets are Volcanic, while the Barbed Fists were White Steel. This was inconsistent with all other armor pieces and has been changed. Spirit of the Woods was only Tier 8, while it's similarly numbered companions were all Tier 9. I believe this to be an error, so Spirit of the Woods has been changed to High Dragon Hide. Herren had a few small inconsistencies in his inventory. His stock of medium armor was odd, and mismatched. I corrected this, so he sells complete sets of Chainmail, Scale, and Splintmail. He will also sell a complete set of Studded Leather in Awakening, as he was missing a common light armor set.

- Tweaks:
- There is also a small tweak that makes the Barbed Fists, Helm of Dragon's Peak, and the Blessing of the Divine drop from the Disciple Generals in The Assault on Amaranthine. These are normally only obtainable from the Armored Ogre Alpha and The Herald in The Siege of Vigil's Keep, which prevents a sizable number of players from acquiring them. I believe this is a fair change, as the rewards for saving Amaranthine are all pretty bad, and all Mage specific. The missing items are now also part of sets, so I think it is important for them to appear for everyone. I have also made all of the items that the Disciple Generals normally drop have a 100% chance of dropping.
