Description/Details:
=================
Gives the items from the Grey Wardens of Ferelden mod stats much closer to those of vanilla DAO gear.
All items can only be equipped by Grey Warden characters. (See the 'Optional files' downloads area for a version without the Grey Wardens-only restriction.) Most items have had the 'No attribute requirements' state removed; the mage armor is the exception to that rule.

Notes: Changed the metal 'jingle' sound effect associated with the chest to the light armor 'leather' sound asset.
Set has 'No attribute requirements' as the pieces being light armor puts glass cannon mage characters at a disadvantage, as the strength (or dexterity, if using a light-armor-uses-DEX mod) required to equip the gear at higher tiers is impractical.
The 'Arcane' armor set can only be equipped by mage characters.

Same stats as vanilla Eamon's Shield.

+3% melee critical chance
