As you may know, there are several items in DAO that are only obtainable through a random loot system and many of those have extremely low odds to show up.
There are a few mods, like the excellent theskymoves ones, that aim to correct this issue for specific items, making them sure drops; the goal of this mod is to do the same with some very annoyingly (and pointlessly) hard to get armor pieces.

There already are mods that give these armors to your inventory or make you find them in a conveniently placed chest. Since I like a balanced and challenging game though, I prefer a less convenient and more vanilla friendly approach, meaning you'll have to fight or pay for them.
So I altered the loot of specific enemies who already have a chance to drop those armor pieces, converting that chance in a sure thing.
To keep things balanced, I took care of stuff that you could only obtain through random loot, not of those items you can also find for sale at some merchant.

As a final note, with this mod you will be able to get armors that was not meant to be obtainable with a 100% chance and this can be seen as not entirely balanced, I know. But we are talking about two armors that are far from being OP or especially convenient: by the time you get them you will probably have better unique items anyway. It just bothered me to have some sets so unexplainably hard to get that there might not be in the game at all.
Besides, I think that I'm not the only one who likes to play Alistair as a templar. And a templar should wear a templar armor. And what we get in this friggin game is this:

- Hey guys, I'm the new Temple recruit, glad to be on board! Where do I get my equipment?
- Oh, welcome! You see that brother templar over there, staring at the lake? Go murder him and rip his stuff from his corpse!
- Cool, that makes perfectly sense! Gods be praised!


So, here's what you get:

- Chevalier's Armor and Chevalier's Boots: now always dropped by Shaevra in The Pearl during the first The Trial of Crows contract.

She also has the gloves but I decided against including them since you can buy them from Faryn in the Frostback Mountain Pass. The less free stuff you get the more balanced the game is, in my opinion.

- Templar Boots and Templar Gloves:  now always dropped by the Bewitched Templar in the Templar Quarters of the Circle of Magi tower during the Broken Circle quest.

You can already obtain the armor from him and the helm from a Possessed Templar, so now you exit the Circle Tower with a full set instead of having to kill the templar praying by the lake with friendly fire.

A side note for the boots: since the armor appears to be a full piece, templar boots has no model in game and appear invisible if wore with other armors. You should use theskymoves' Templar Armour Fixes to give them a proper model alongside other cool fixes to the Templar set.

You can use Chevalier Armor Set Bonus Change to change the bonus in the Chevalier Armor.

Both fixes are already included in Qwinn's Ultimate DAO Fixpack.

EDIT: Even though Qwinn stated that Templar Armour Fixes is included in his fixpack, the boots file is currently missing. It is not known if he did it on purpose or by accident but, for now, use theskymoves' Templar Armour Fixes to actually see the boots on your character.
Chevalier Armor Set Bonus Change is included though.
