This simple mod adds a few starter items in Helgen Keep so your character can start using their chosen skill straight away. It was always a pet peeve of mine having to stand and watch Hadvar kill Stormcloaks because I didn't want to level One-Handed straight away until I get a bow later on. The items are very basic, so as not to offer an advantage or feel like a cheat. I've also changed the item 'Torturer's Hood' slightly. Details below.

Items in the first chest Hadvar tells you to search:
Iron Armor (Boots, Chest, Gauntlets)
Hide Armor (Boots, Chest, Gauntlets)
Longbow
15 Iron Arrows
Iron Sword
Iron Greatsword
Novice Robes
Novice Hood
Boots
Leather Hood
Hide Shield
Iron Shield

Torturer's Hood change: Renamed to Leather Hood, reduced it's armor rating to be the same as the Leather Helmet, but made it upgradable using Leather, same as the helmet. So it's slightly weaker to begin with, but can become as strong as any Leather Helmet.

Novice Robes and Hood: Now they are in the chest and no longer on the prisoner in the cage. The prisoner is now wearing prisoner's rags, and his Spell Tome and Magicka potion are moved onto the desk in the large, cage nearby, but the gold remains in the cage for lore reasons (Follower telling you there is something in the cage).

Gunjar is now carrying a Longbow and 10 Iron Arrows for you Ralof fans (Making up 25 Iron Arrows in total) with an Iron Warhammer nearby. So either way, you can start with one-handed, two-handed or archery. Of course those on the Ralof path can go to the barracks to get their armor from the chest.

Lastly, a new chest has been added to the barracks, containing a full set of Light Imperial Armor and a torch, and another containing a full set of Imperial Armor, for those who want to dress as an Imperial for Roleplay purposes.

A tiny mod I know, but hope you enjoy!
