About this mod

This mod adds a custom, level-scaling set of gear. Two versions - An immersive friendly manner for a vanilla/modded play-through, or, you can use the console to add the items at level 1 for a tailored gaming experience designed to alter the difficulty curve presented by Vanilla difficulties. Would you like to know more?

DESCRIPTION
There are two ways to use this mod. One is integrated into the base game, the other is a tailored gaming experience.
It is intended to be played using "Version 2", however "Version 1" is the base of the mod, and applies to a wider audience.
The items have been carefully balanced to ensure that they align with vanilla values, allowing overhaul mods to take control as intended.

You can obtain the items in a natural manner, with stats that scale to your level and continue scaling with you as you level up.
(See "V1 - Immersive-Friendly" below)

Alternatively, these items can be used from lvl 1-100 scaling to the players current level and continue scaling with you as you level up. 
(See "V2 - Sumajin Experience" below)

The Items are intended to be used as a set.                        (Using the pieces separately may make you overpowered)
The Armor Value increases by 12 every level.                      (Controlled by Chest, other pieces do not increase)
The Resistance Values increase by 4.2 every 5 levels.        (Skips level 5)
The Boots/Gloves/Pants have flat stats.                               (They will not change apart from their required level matching your current level)
The Crossbows don't scale.                                                     (They just don't)
The Horse gear is just cool stuff.                                            (Purchasable from Yoanna at all times) 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Both GrandMaster Bonus' only require 1 piece to activate; keep this in mind if you intend on mixing GrandMaster set.
The NG+ part of the mod is not functioning as intended. I have made the armor and horse gear unavailable.
Please consider this mod as only functioning for a standard game until the next version (v1.2 pending community feedback)

V2 - Sumajin Experience
Have you had the experience with The Witcher 3 that the early game can present a challenge, but as you progress, your'e a hot blade through butter?
This mod attempts to adjust this difficulty curve, based on the skill of the player, using a custom set of items.

At the start you will DEAL more damage     (I can't change the damage on the swords without further scripting and I'm trying to limit that)
At the start you will TAKE more damage     (To counteract the increase in damage dealt to enemies)
Your aim is to charge your swords.              (This will not happen as often as you would like)
Your aim is to avoid damage.                        (Quen is now your saving grace, rather than an OP shield)

(Using the "Aerondight Special Ability", the swords are able to scale with the players level, based on their ability to kill enemies with a charged sword)
(You can override this at any time by using the *additem('ITEMNAME')* command in the console. You will then receive a level-scaled version of the item)

After your conversation with Vesemir and fighting the ghouls use the below console commands. 
This lets you get a feel of the difference between your starting armor and this new armor.

additem('Hemdall Legacy Armor')
additem('Hemdall Legacy Pants')
additem('Hemdall Legacy Boots')
additem('Hemdall Legacy Gloves')
additem('Aerondight EP2')
additem('Olgierd Sabre')
additem('DragonHunter HorseBag')
additem('Nilfgaardian Superior HorseBlinders')
additem('Nilfgaardian Superior HorseSaddle')
