Of all the games, I think DAO has the best looking Templar armor but their shields (and helmets) leave something to be desired. So I tweaked them a little. 

This mod replaces all DAO Templar shields with the model from DA2 and changes the red accents on that shield to a rich purple, so it matches the Templar skirts. It also gives a few Templars the winged helmet model from DA2--which I also changed the color of to better match the DAO armor. 

Along with that, I included a few fixes. The first cleans up the Templar shield specular map (Kirkwall Exports' shield famously has a weird, pixelated texture on the red highlights ringing the shield--the file included here fixes that).
I relied on chachudo's fix from the comments on Kirkwall Exports and added an alpha layer so it maintains the same, reduced, level of shine as the original. 
  
The second fix makes sure DAO Chantry/Templar heraldry doesn't pop up on the DA2 shields. What causes that issue in other mods is not setting heraldry to "none" when doing a texture replace on the DAO shields. 

Additionally, the specular map and shield replacer/heraldry fix are available as a standalone mod and I have included multiple options for helm replacers. Pick your style (the DA2 helm or DAO Duty model) and if you want it to affect just a few elite Templars or all of them.

CONFLICTS
~~~~~~~~~

Will work but will override the files from these mods:

• Improved Atmosphere
• NPC Corrections and Tweaks
  

Will work with a couple clicks:

• Unique Characters Overhaul (just delete the section of the mod editing Templar .utc files and it will work)
  

Outright incompatible (Templars will have mismatched gear):

• Kirkquisition Chantry and Templars
• Kirkwall Chantry and Templars
• Templars of Ferelden

Sequel Color Templars which changes the armor to the red and black theme of DA2 (I recommend using the red shield instead of my purple one--to do that, delete the purple shield folder from my mod) 

Templar Armor places a lootable Templar armor in the mage tower

TSM Better Mages, Better Templars fixes a lot of inconsistencies with mages, templars, and tranquil

TSM Templar Armour Fixes fixes Templar gauntlets so they match the rest of their armor

Vanilla Templar Gauntlets for Qwinn's Fix Pack does the same thing if you use Qwinn's fix pack
