Description
===========
Improves armour rating of Blades Armour to that of Ebony, and damage of Blades Sword to about that of an Ebony Sword. Improves damage on Dragonbane as well.


Details
=======
I was surprised that nobody else had done a plugin to improve the protection of the Blades armour, after reaching the part of the game where you obtain it (didn't want to spoil anything) and finding it to be not good for my level or able to be tempered. The swords gave me the same feeling, though could at least be tempered.

This plugin changes that, the Blades Armour now provides protection equal to Ebony armour, and can now be tempered with the Adv. Armours perk (it's recognised as the same class as Steel Plate) and steel ingots. The Blades Swords now do more damage (about that of an Ebony Sword), and Dragonbane does +2 base damage on all versions of the sword.

I also reccommend Shank's Blades Sword Sheath fix for NPCs mod, found here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/7600

Install
=======
1. Copy the .esp file to (install folder)\Skyrim\Data\
2. Start Skyrim Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file(s).

Uninstall
=========
1. Start Skyrim Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file(s).
2. Delete the .esp file from \Skyrim\Data\


Incompatibility
===============
Potentially conflicts with any other mods that modify the properties of the Blades Armour, Blades Sword, or Dragonbane. Haven't tested.
Should not conflict with texture/mesh replacers.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
No known issues at this time.
