📋 About This Mod

A set bonus for the ancestral weapons of the Couslands - the Family Sword and the Shield of Highever. As it's an early game set, it can't be too powerful - but I think these bonus stats are another incentive to use the two items together.

Cousland's Might set bonus is based on the two aforementioned items, a longsword (Family Sword) and a shield (Shield of Highever). By default the items buff our attack quite nicely (+4 to attack each) and to add +1 to damage too. There was no point to buff attack more, hence a slight bonus to defence and yet another extra point to damage - it's the Cousland's Might after all.

Priority was not to make the bonus unbalanced for the early stage of the game. And the bonus damage point is rather unique in scope of the whole campaign - there's only one vanilla set which buffs damage (Legion of the Dead set).

Cousland's Might

When Family Sword and Shield of Highever are equipped: +1 to damage and +3 to defence

If you had an idea for another bonus to be added, perhaps, I'll gladly consider it, the point is to keep it balanced though, it can't be overpowered.

On @zloybelka's request: added an optional, scalable version of the items (as opposed to the fixed vanilla Gray Iron Tier).

Update 1. 2 - brings compatiblity for the Family Sword Remodelled users. The original FSR mod was created by chibievil, I also recommend @gioveb's updated version of the sword, found as the optional file of Various Integrations (Immersion Addons).
