Based on the original 'Improved Dragon Priest Masks SE', this takes suggestions from user thekrcko to rebalance the mod. Rahgot, Otar, Krosis and Nahkriin have each had several values tweaked. Additionally, I created another main file which includes my own tweaks that also revert the original armour type/stat changes back to vanilla.
Permissions and credits
Author's instructions
I would like to honor the openness of the original author's mod by doing the same with this mod:
You're free to do what you like with this mod. Edit it, etc.
Credit me if you want, I don't mind. I'd prefer if you credited szn, but like he said: "If you use it, credit me if you'd like. But I'm not going to hunt you down if you dont."

Version v1.1
Initial release.

First and foremost, this wouldn't have been possible without the original mod, or the lenient permissions the author (szn) granted on the original page. Go check his mod out here!
Mask Changes:
(Again, it's mostly the same as the original mod, therefore alot of it is copy pasted but reformated. Changes have only been made to Rahgot, Otar, Krosis and Nahkriin)
NOTE: IF YOU WOULD LIKE ARMOUR STATS/ARMOUR TYPE (LIGHT ARMOUR, HEAVY ARMOUR, ARMOUR RATINGS) TO BE REVERTED TO VANILLA, I'VE INCLUDED AN ADDITIONAL MAIN FILE, 'Main File - 2', TO DO SO.
Also note that the images are of Main File - 2b, as that's the one which i'm using because of my mod setup/list. More about the 'b' suffix in the compatibility section.

Compatibility:
I have gone through SSEedit and compared the mod to my current load order and modlist (~270 plugins) and had a couple of findings...
Konahrik's Accoutrements doesn't modify any of the same values. One thing to keep in mind however, is that the armour type changes don't really work well with Konahrik's Accoutrement's armours because the armour sets in that mod are made in mind with the vanilla armour types in mind. (Eg, one armour set might be light, and the matching mask may have been changed to clothing with this mod). This is one of the main reasons why I included the option to change that back to vanilla.
TL;DR If using Konahrik's Accoutrements, you should use the version with armour type/stat changes reverted to vanilla. No biggie if you don't though.
The changes made to Miraak's mask creates conflicts with Zims Immersive Artifacts and Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes, therefore i've included two versions without ANY changes to Miraak's mask. 'Main File - 1b' is the same as the 'Main File - 1' file simply without changes to Miraak's mask. 'Main File - 2b' is the other version which is the same as the 'Main File - 2' file with armour type/stat changes reverted to vanilla and without changes to Miraak's mask.
I am well aware of the original mod and the compatibility patch that was made between it and Warmonger's Armory. I will need to create my own compatibility patch for the the changes I've made at some point, but I don't use Warmonger's Armory atm. Either that or someone else makes it which i'm cool with as long as they abide by the perms/rules of the original mod this was based on, and the perms/rules of the Warmonger's Armory author/uploader.
Credits and Perms:
I just want to reiterate, none of this would've been possible without the original mod, or the very open and kind permissions on the original page:
"I am generally open to people doing whatever with my mods, since they typically only consist of changing values in the Creation Kit, and anyone can do that themselves with an hour's worth of effort to learn."
"If you use it, credit me if you'd like. But I'm not going to hunt you down if you dont."
Full props and credit to szn. If you would like this to be taken down for any reason, i'd be happy to ablige.
Also, credit to thekrco for the idea of the tweaks in the comments section of the original mod.
Originally, I was planning on just making this for myself, for personal use. Then I checked the original permissions on the page and figured I'd upload it for the convenience of anyone who'd be interested in the changes.
Credit to the SSEedit team, for making such an easy to understand and intuitive tool that noobs like me can use!
