Description
===========
This mod aims to give the fighters guild a feeling of belonging to a guild, and adds a new milestone for fighters guild members. The new armor is for fighters guild members with rank of Protector or higher.

This mod will add Two suits of armor with shields to the game, Scalemail and Heavy Scale. These suits are my idea of what a fighters guild member would outfit him/herself in. Simple, effective, easy to repair etc. I feel this armor retains the original feeling of being a merc, and fits in with existing suits of armor that lower ranked members will wear.

There are two versions of this armor: Scalemail which is light armor slightly better than chainmail and Heavy Scale which is slightly better than steel armor. In both versions of this mod, the armor is in a chest in the Chorrol Fighter's Guild, near Modryn Oreyn under a table.

Lite Version: Just the chest containing the armor, that's it. You have to be a fighters guild member or taking the armor will count as theft.

Full Version: In this version the armor can only be taken by a fighters Guild member of Protector Rank or higher, or it will count as theft. Every Fighters guild member with a higher rank than Protector will be wearing the armor, except the Porters (and Sabrine Laul the Smith).
There is a good chance this esp will conflict with mods that alter NPC's, such as large overhaul mods.


NOtes: Another mod exists that does something similar to this, so this could be used as an alternative.
The female versions of this armor are based on meshes created by Grhys and Chingari and are for Exnem's female eyecandy body.
