Description
===========
This mod grants the player the ability to defend him or herself while unarmored, and makes armor provide some protection against the elements. These effects are configurable through an ini file.


Details
=======
There are other unarmored mods out there, but I couldn't find one that worked quite the way I liked. They were often too complicated or treated unarmored fighting significantly different from the other armor types in the game. This mod implements unarmored combat with the same level of abstraction as light and heavy armor. The PC gets a shield bonus based on the number and type of unarmored "pieces" he/she "equips." Just like the other armor types, an unarmored torso will provide more benefit than unarmored legs, and unarmored legs more benefit than unarmored hands, head, or feet. The amount of benefit is dependent on the PC's acrobatics skill, and getting hit while unarmored increases that skill by an amount dependent on which body parts are unarmored. Both of these settings are configurable in the ini file.

In addition, light armor provides some small resistance against fire and frost damage while heavy armor provides resistance to shock damage. These values are also configurable in the ini.
