Update 01/11/2015 : As you can probably guess from the long absence, I am doing nothing further with this mod. Do what you want with it but give a shout out to  L0rd0fWar for the work they contributed as well if you release anything using assets from this mod.

Update 03/11/2012: Further work on this mod has been put on hold as I don't have the time at the moment to keep it maintained and updated. It's still not perfect but I think it is feature complete enough for some people to get enjoyment out of it. Thanks to you all for your support.

I freely admit I was giddy as a schoolgirl after finding L0rd0fWar's Iorveth Armor, but I was a little disappointed that it was classified as cloth and so had all the defensive properties of wet paper. I then set about figuring out how to turn it into a light armor set. Several hours, lots of confused fumbling and numerous different versions later, I give you Iorveth Light Armor:

Features

- Standalone mod that doesn't replace any existing NPC armor.
- Works with both male/female characters.
- Benefits from all Light Armor perks: Agile Defender, Custom Fit etc.
- Craftable from a forge.
- Fully improvable on a workbench.
- Two different sets of Scoia'tael Armor: a basic un-enchanted version and an upgraded version complete with enchants.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Installation:

1. Just drop the .esp file, textures and meshes folders into your skyrim/data folder. Merge folders if prompted.

2. Make sure the plugin is enabled by using NMM or the Data Files option in the Skyrim Launcher.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

How to get the armor:

Now available at the forge, under the MISC tab (requires the Steel Smithing perk):

Un-enchanted:

Scoia'tael Commando Boots
Scoia'tael Commando Gloves
Scoia'tael Commando Bandana
Scoia'tael Commando Armor

Enchanted:

Scoia'tael Captain's Boots (Muffled Movement)
Scoia'tael Captain's Gloves (x2 Sneak attack with 1H weapons)
Scoia'tael Captain's Bandana (+20% bow damage)
Scoia'tael Captain's Armor (+12% Barter / +12% 1H weapon damage)

or, if you can't be bothered to gather all the materials, you can add the items via the console:

1. Open the console with the `(tilde) key.
2. Type "help scoia 4" (without quotes). The items will show up with the necessary item codes.
3. Use the command "player.additem xxxxxxx 1" (without quotes). E.g. player.additem 0d01001 1

Known Issues:

- Bandana doesn't show on Khajiit/Argonians. The beast races need their own custom meshes for it to show properly, which is a bit beyond my skills. If anyone wants to have a go, they're more than welcome.
