Advantageous Armor is meant to give the player the feeling that armor actually protects you regardless of your skill or level, by giving all vanilla armor meaningful and noticeable buffs and debuffs whenever you equip a shield or an armored curiass. Armor will now feel noticeably more beneficial from the very start of the game. Armored NPC's will now be noticeably tougher to deal with, and will feel more like mini-bosses when compared to unarmored NPC's. This mod does not affect the armor rating system formula in any way, this is all done without scripts or any other mod requirments.
- All vanilla shields and armored cuirasses have been given a fortify health buff and stamina regeneration debuff that will affect the player character and all NPC's wearing vanilla armor

All vanilla Light Armor shields and armored curiasses have been given a fortify health buff of 3x their Amor Rating), excluding Hide and Fur armors which have (2x Armor Rating), but also supply a small amount of Frost Resistance (Fur Armors Only). To introduce some amount of realism and immersion, all Light Armor shields and armored cuirasses will also reduce your stamina regeneration in the amount equal to it's carry weight points.
In addition light armor will also reduce magika regeneration by 2x their carry weight points.
In addition Heavy armor will also reduce magika regeneration equal to their carry weight points.
! ! ! MOD COMPATIBILITY ! ! !
- All armor record edits were made to be consistent with Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes Mod.
- The mod does affect most vanilla unique shields and armors in the game (excluding vampire armor to maintain compatibility with vampire mods). (If you find I missed something please post it in the bugs section so that I can address it.)
- This is all accomplished by adding new enchantments, needless to say this completely nukes the enchantment system for all vanilla shields and armored cuirasses. To maintain a sense of balance I have removed all vanilla enchanted shields and armored cuirasses from the leveled lists, meaning you won't find any enchanted versions of shields or armored cuirasses when looting npc's or chests in the world. I would advise to avoid trying to disenchant or enchant any of the vanilla shields or armored cuirasses, it will only end in tears.
The mod does not affect helmets, gauntlets or boots in any way, so you will still find enchanted versions of those items on npc's and in chests.
This mod does not affect the armor rating formula in any way it only adds to the enchantment table.

Should place plug-in below any combat, game-play or armor mods to insure this mod takes effect and is not over-written by any other mod.
If installing mid-play-through be sure to reequip your shield and cuirass for the mod to take effect.
! ! ! PERMISSIONS ! ! !
With the thousands of armor mods on the Nexus it only makes sense to make this mod completely open permissions, so that I have an army of modders behind it creating patches and expanding on the foundations of this mod. Just include me in the credits and it's all yours.
