Description:
There are a number of mods that at least attempt to balance the crafting systems in Skyrim. Likewise this mod tones blacksmithing down and unlinks Dragon smithing from Daedric. Care was taken to match the tree with its constellation.

What It Does:
All smithing perks now grant a 60% bonus to tempering, down from 100%.
Ebony Plate now links to either Deadric -or- Dragon smithing. Both heavy and light paths now spend the same number of perks to unlock Dragon armor.
Ebony: skill requirement reduced to 70 from 80, matching Glass armor and smoothing the transition between heavy perks.
Arcane Smith: skill requirement reduced to 50 from 60.

Alternative versions added: 50% tempering, 40% tempering, and no change (100%) tempering. Please only use one file of your choice.

Version History:
2.0 + 1.1b: updated to be compatible with Dawnguard dragonbone weapons. 1.1b is just a minor file cleanup over 1.1a, intended for those without Dawnguard.
1.1a: fixed a potential compatibility issue with mods that affect Enchanting perks.
1.1: fixed a major bug introduced by Skyrim Patch 1.5 that was causing inordinate skill ups.

Installation:
Open the zip file, drop and drag the .esp into your Skyrim\Data folder.
