Requirements:

=================

Dragon Age: Origins

=================

Description:

=================

Changes the -3 armor stat on the Ceremonial set to a modest +3, and alters the material progression to allow the set to tier up.

=================

=================

There are just a few heavy armor sets in DAO, and the most visually appealing, in my opinion, is saddled with a strong detriment to its use: the chest piece for the Ceremonial Armor has a -3 to armor 'enhancement'.

I've simply made that a +3 to armor, giving the set the still very modest stats of:

+10 mental resistance

+6 missile deflection (set bonus for equipping all three pieces)

I've also changed the material progression from fixed Red Steel to Armor, All Metal, allowing the set to be scaled optimally to the player character's level.

=================

To Install:

=================

Place the tsm_ceremonial folder in the game's manual override directory (\Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override\).

=================

To Uninstall:

=================

Delete the tsm_ceremonial folder.

=================

Known Issues:

=================

If any pieces of the Ceremonial set have been acquired or an area in which they spawn has been entered, the changes will probably not be seen.

The 'improved' items can be obtained via the developer console and any of the several community modded options for adding items.

The item codes for the Ceremonial Armor set are

gen_im_arm_cht_hvy_cer.uti

gen_im_arm_bot_hvy_cer.uti

gen_im_arm_glv_hvy_cer.uti

This mod will conflict with any other mod editing those three item codes.

=================

Notes and blather:

=================

Negative stats on an armor set that is dubbed 'Ceremonial' might seem like a cute idea on paper, but it's really dumb when there's just a handful of sets for each armor class in the game. (Sez me.)

TSM recommends Schwinni's Chevalier Armor Set Bonus Change, which addresses a similar negative stat issue with the Chevalier massive set.
