About this mod
Very simple mod which gives the Spellsword class Light Armour as a major skill rather than Heavy Armour.
- Permissions and credits
Description
In Morrowind, the Spellsword class had Medium Armour as a major skill. Medium Armour as a category was removed in Oblivion, and the Spellsword was given Heavy Armour as a major skill instead. To me, this doesn't make much sense, as the Spellsword is described as "more nimble and athletic than the battlemage, and better suited for spell-casting than the knight." Thus, this mod. Spellsword characters will now be proficient with Light Armours, such as Fur, Leather, Chain, Mithril, Elven, Glass, Amber, etc.
If you disagree, don't use this mod, simple as that.
Also, if there's a mod out there that already does this (such as class stat overhauls or something like that), comment with a link so I can post it here.
Installation
Extract the SpellswordAltered.esp from the archive to your Oblivion/Data folder.
Open the Oblivion launcher, click Data Files, and activate the esp.
Uninstallation
Delete the SpellswordAltered.esp from your Oblivion/Data folder.
Warning
I don't know exactly what effect this will have on an in-progress character; at the very least it has the chance
to mess up your stats, so I recommend starting a new game with this mod enabled, and should you pick the spellsword
class, keep it enabled until you are done with that character.
Additionally, this might alter the stats of any NPCs using the Spellsword class (though all it will really mean is,
if they are wearing heavy armour, it will not give them as much protection; though most bandits, marauders etc. use their
own custom classes anyway, none of which have been altered).
