Most of my characters are vampire mages, and while vampire gear from Dawnguard looks great, it is classified as light armor and that breaks my mage armor perks, so I created unarmored versions of Vampire Royal Armor, regular Vampire Armor, Gauntlets, Boots, Serana's Hood and Vampire Robes. They are all craftable at any forge, no perks required as they are just plain unenchanted clothing.

I also added craftable Black Robes and Hooded Black Robes for convenience as they look great with Vampire Gauntlets and Boots. Also Vampire Hood and Hooded Black Robes can be worn with circlets.

All are enchantable.

Update-As requested by some users an optional esp is uploaded which adds craftable unenchanted armored versions of Vampire Royal Armor (Red and Valerica), Vampire Armors (Gray/Gray Light/Red), Vampire Gauntlets, Vampire Boots and Vampire Hood, the same hood Serana is wearing, it can be tempered as well. Extract the esp and overwrite the old one if you have the unarmored version of the esp already.

Update 1.1-fixed tempering recipes for Vampire Royal Armor versions. Note-unarmored version stays at 1.0, no need to update that.

Update 1.2-added missing unarmored versions of grey and black armors.

Update 1.3-added cloth version of Valerica's Royal Vampire armor as well as cloth Vampire Gloves and Boots (they are not the same as existing cloth versions of Vampire Gauntlets and Boots).
