FNV Armor Rebalance - 0.1.5
A mod that try to rebalance the armor system in New Vegas.
Mainly strengthened medium and heavy armors.

:: INTRODUCTION ::
FNV Armor Rebalance is a mod aiming to improve the balance of the armor system in Fallout: New Vegas. Compared to light armor, the medium/heavy armor have a bit more DT, but less Carry Weight/Movement Speed and lack perk's support. Many well-designed medium/heavy armors are rarely used. So I made this mod to improve it. The mod mainly buffed medium/heavy armors by introducing a Set Bonus System and adjusting some perks to support them.

:: REQUIREMENTS ::
• New Vegas up to date
• All DLC

:: FEATURES ::
• Set Bonus System
• More perks that support medium/heavy armor
• Fix some bugs related to armor
• Compatibility patch for Project Nevada(core)

:: NOTABLE CHANGE ::

Armor
• Now when you wear a full set of armor(armor and helmet,e.g Riot Gear and Riot Gear Helmet) you gain an additional Damage Resistance(Fire Resistance/Posion Resistance/Rad Resistance/other property) bonus. Medium/Heavy armor's bonus is higher than that of light armor. See the gallery for more details or download the zip at the file area, the red text is the modified stats.
• Power armor don't need Power Armor Training any more. Besides, Power Armor Training will give all power armor(except NCR Salvaged Power Armor, which has a initial +5% DR) +10% DR and +20 Carry Weight.

Perk
Light Touch now don't check armor type and take effect when inventory weight is less than 75% of your max Carry Weight(Contrary to Hoarder).
Pack Rat is medium armor's perk now and only take effect when wearing full set of medium/armor(armor and helmet).
• Similarly, Heavy Weight only works with heavy armor.
• New perk Prepare For Battle : You gain +5% DR when you wear medium armor, and +5% critical hit chance when you use small guns (pistols, rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, energy pistols and energy rifles).
• New perk Never Back Down : When wearing heavy armor and standing still, you gain +10% DR. Besides, +5% critical hit chance when you use heavy weapons, energy heavy weapons, melee weapons and unarmed weapons.
Travel Light and Tunnel Runner now check helmet type as well as armor.

Other
• Glasses no longer conflict with some masks,so now you can wear 1st Recon Beret, Lucky Shades and Ulysses' Mask together.

:: INSTALLATION ::
• Recommend to use Vortex to install/uninstall.
• Or just unzip the file to the New Vegas/Data/ folder.(Delete them to uninstall)

:: COMPATIBILITY ::
• Compatible with most popular mods except mod that tweaks the original armor in the game.
<d>• For Project Nevada(core) there is a compatible patch.</d>From 0.1.4 no patch is provided because Project Nevada can be replaced by many excellent mods such as JAM - Just Assorted Mods.
• Standalone compatible patch for Enhanced Vision, can install without main file.

:: SUGGESTION ::
• Recommend to play without mods that import a large number of new armor which are often too powerful for the base game and will almost certainly break the balance.
• Recommend to play without mods that greatly changed the balance system.
