*****************************************************************

Thanks to BethSoft for making this great game.
Thanks to Pepsi for making the readme for his Alt Life Detect addon which I edited to suit my purposes for this mod :-)
Also thanks to Pepsi for that Alt Life Detect addon itself. I didn't use any code from it in this addon, but it's a nice, simple mod :-)

9 Notes

*****************************************************************

This is a very simple mod. There's no added dialogue, no changed dialogue, all that was added is these two robes - five in each cabinet - for a total of 10 new items in the game. This means that Owyn will not offer to give you either robe when handing out ramient, you still have to choose Heavy or Light. He also will not mention the robes in the cabinet.
The primary purpose of choosing the robes over the lght or heavy armor is the issue of spell effectiveness. With either type of armor you suffer a loss of effectiveness in your spells. These robes will eliminate that loss of effectiveness, especially if you go without a helm or with a cloth hood. You can use a shield of either type of armor as long as you either have a 2h weapon (staff included) or no weapon equipped; in either case, the armor rating for the shield doesn't count but any enchant on the shield does count.

Perhaps in a future version there will be more customized enchants for each type of ramient; I was thinking perhaps Fortify Skill: Heavy Armor 100 points for the Heavy Ramient, Fortify Skill: Light Armor 100 points for the Light Ramient, and Shield equal to 1/2 of the armor rating of the Light Ramient for the Robes, or perhaps even different enchants for each robe.

This mod may not be included in any compilation. If you want to use it in a compilation you will have to recreate it from scratch. It's not hard.
