📋 About This Mod
This is the first part of a long standing mod I've been toying with making to adjust the stats of
nearly all equipment in the game. Ideas like intuitive tiers for armor, reasonable price
escalation, and a more uniform enchantment scheme, are the main driving force behind this, but I
also don't want to stray too far from Morrowind's own values and have everything SEEM like it was
done in a spreadsheet (it was). Thus I've tried to keep small idiosyncrasies like the cephalopod
helm and the like intact in some fashion.
What this hopefully is, is a mod that you won't notice while playing, but will subtly encourage you
to experiment with the different armors as you level up before acquiring your end game set.
Biggest Differences
Dreugh Armor is now a light armor to help fill out the category.
Dwemer Armor is now much stronger and more valuable.
Skaal Armor is significantly weaker now.

Recommended Mods
Service Refusal Expanded - this mod plays great with the increased value of dwemer armor
Morrowind Armor Overhaul - if you like the concept of my mod but would prefer a more drastic overhaul
Compatibility
Because this mod changes the GMSTs associated to armor weights it will likely conflict with mods
that add new armors to the game.
Future Plans
In updates I want to diversify armor sets that share tiers and develop a version that uses content
from the community to expand incomplete sets.
Eventually I will want to address weapons in a follow up mod.
