Throughout my years playing Skyrim the simplicity and symbolism of this armor has made it my favorite armor mod. This mod has been an evolution of love from Hentai's Karliah 2 armor from Skyrim LE, an alternate texture from hagrid's version and the fantastic aethetical additions made with echo 1162's Thieves Guild Duelist Armor for LE to which this mod still bears his name for the armor as a tribute. I have also added bracers for beast races. 

The armor is craftable at a forge, and as the name implies, there is an OP enchanted set as a reward in the tribute chest at the conclusion of the Thieves Guild questline. The armor has two texture options and three physics options.

There is the standard Guild Duelist armor texture with improved textures given the technological advantages of the 64bit engine. 
There is an alternate texture with similarly improved textures. 

Physics are straightforward. The armor labeled in bodyslide as CBPC is the armor you want to build if use CBPC physics or don't use physics. If you don't have the CBP plugin, no physics. Pretty straightforward. If you do not want physics, you do not need SKSE for this armor. 

The armor also now comes with an HDT-SMP (3BBB) version. If you have the CPU power to use it, I highly recommend HDT-SMP. It is as good as HDT was for LE at this point and more mods using this physics plugin become available all the time. 

Depending on what you want, the requirements are a little different. XPMSSE is a hard requirement. CBBE and Bodyslide are obviously a hard requirement. If you want physics then SKSE and either the CBPC or HDT-SMP plugin are required.  Bodyslide, XPMSSE, and CBPC or HDT-SMP and SKSE if you want physics.  
2) There is a mod group so select the appropriate mod group (CBBE Physics or CBBE HDT SMP (3BBB), pick your preset, and then batch build. See picture for more info.

Installation is simple, just download the mod and you can start playing right away. I have a default prebuilt set of files already in the folder but I would recommend you use your own preset. In case you like my preset though, I have included it with this mod. There is a slider group included so you can build everything all at one if you prefer.

My Youtube channel has a lot of helpful information for people getting started in using bodyslide as well as a bunch of dumb videos I like to make.


This is compatible with everything. EXCEPT**** If you have my original version of this mod you must uninstall it first or things will get very confusing. Also, I'm not sure if there is any mod that alters the Thieves Guild Tribute Chest but if there is you could lose out on the enchanted armor that comes in it in which case you just need to console help "duelist" and add the Guild Master's Duelist ______ items. Unimmersive I know, but why would you remove the tribute chest!?

Just make sure you uninstall the old version. 

The reason I made a separate mod page for this is for people that are perfectly happy with that version and don't want the additional armor set or any of the new stuff I've added in. I've learned the hard way not to remove mods perfectly happy with. So here's the 2.0 version.


I am officially back! It took longer than I said it would, but I had no idea that the apocalypse was going to happen so... what are you gonna do? Anyway, I will be posting in the stickies on my other mod pages as well but new stuff is coming down the pipeline. I have a ton of smaller projects that will be released in the short term.

I have a humanoid vampire lord mod that will be coming out once I get done beta testing it and it will be fantastic.

Total Unique Player 3.0 will be coming in the intermediate term as well as some NPC overhauls consistent with my Astrid overhaul, i.e. functionality for her job over beautiful long flowing locks of hair.


I sincerely have no interest in making any profit off of modding but to anyone that enjoys my mods and have an extra dollar or two to spend to help out, or, a little more if you'd like some specific mods made, check out my patreon page!
