Requirements:
=================

Dragon Age: Origins and a romanced Alistair.

=================
Description:
=================

A wearable amulet called 'Alistair's Rose' will appear in inventory on first load after Alistair offers the plot version to the Warden, if the romance is still active. (If dialogue choices end the romance, the wearable version will not be given, only the plot version.)

The amulet is restricted to The Warden. The standard version has the following stats:

+1 to all attributes
+10% spell resistance
+6 defense
Lucky

Should those stats seem over- or under-powered, there are optional overrides included:

A Gentle Flower:
+1 to all attributes
+10% spell resistance
Lucky

An Indestructible Goddess:
+3 to all attributes
+20% spell resistance
+1.5 health regen in combat
Lucky

which may better suit your play-style. (Or not.)

The archive includes some screencaps for reference. (As always, a picture is worth a thousand words, and more so when the words are mine.)

=================
Installation:
=================

Install tsm_alistair_rose.dazip with DAupdater, DAOModmanager, or your preferred utility. The installer includes the standard version.

For the 'A Gentle Flower' version, place the tsm_alistair_rose_gentle folder into your override directory (usually \My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override).

Or for the cheaty 'An Indestructible Goddess' version, use the tsm_alistair_rose_goddess folder.

Note: Install only one optional stat override!!!!

To spawn additional copies of the amulet, add the tsm_alistair_rose_script folder to override and then use the following console command (omitting the quotes): 'runscript give_tsm_alistair_rose'.

=================
To Uninstall:
=================

I recommend uninstalling dazips with DAOModmanager.

To manually remove the mod (or any optional components), delete the
\My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\AddIns\tsm_alistair_rose folder and contents. Also delete tsm_alistair_rose_package.erf from \My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\data.

If an optional adjusted stats override was installed, delete the tsm_alistair_rose_gentle or tsm_alistair_rose_goddess folder and contents from \My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override.

And finally, if the spawn script was installed, delete the tsm_alistair_rose_script folder.

=================
Known Issues:
=================

None, apart from the derisive mockery of overly cynical haters.

=================
Notes:
=================

'Lucky' is a useless buff that was not implemented in the game. I intentionally included it, for obvious reasons. (And if the reasons aren't obvious, why are you still reading this?)

The amulet will import into Dragon Age: Awakening and is compatible with Gewitterwolke's most excellent Romance Mementos for Awakening (http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/3425/).

It is also compatible with AlistairsRose by Jinxy Jo (http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/3401/).
