This mod rebalances the Forest Bandits currently (e1.0.9) found in the game by making them use swords/shields/maces more frequently, in addition to tweaking their skills.

Version e1.0.5
Initial Commit
In the latest version (e1.0.9), Forest Bandits are still fairly overpowered. All three types of Forest Bandits (Bushwhacker, Freebooter and Forest Bandit) use bows very frequently,, with two arrow packs and a mace as backup. In addition, they all have archery and one handed skill ranging from 80 to 120, giving them lightning fast reaction speed in one handed combat and a quick draw.
This mod makes a few changes. Equipment sets (which the game randomly picks from) have been adjusted to include shields, maces and swords. Bows are now less frequent, and they only get one arrow pack instead of two.
Both the Bow and OneHanded Skills have also been reduced.
This mod works with ongoing savegames; any parties roaming the map should have their equipment automatically adjusted.
EDIT: This description has been changed to reflect the changes made to Forest Bandits in e1.0.6 and the mod has been updated to e1.0.9.
