📋 About This Mod

Name: Royal Guard Shield Addon Version: 1. 0 Date: 1/4/2009 Category: Weapons and Armor Requirements: Tribunal Author: Alaisiagae Forum Thread: http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=938317&hl= Description =========== Adds a shield to the Royal Guard armor set. Also adds shields to Royal Guard NPCs. Additional shield available for player use. Details ======= I\'ve worked on and tweaked GMatthews\' \"Helseth Royal Guard Shield\" mod. This mod provides all new textures for a shield (it uses the Iron Shield mesh) for the the Royal Guard armor set. It also adds this shield to the Royal Guard NPCs, as well as placing one next to Helseth\'s Throne (which the player can freely pick up and use). I\'ve added unique icons to each of the three shield types, as well as diversifying the three shield types that GMatthews created (in his mod, only the first shield was used). - All Generic Royal Guards, and most Named Royal Guards have been given an Ebony Longsword. The Adamantium Claymore has been removed from their inventory. The Guards already have a high Block skills, so they will use their new Shields to good effect. - Generic Royal Guards have a plain boss on their shield. - Named Royal Guards (and your shield!) will have a Lion\'s Head boss, just like the belt buckle on the Royal Guard Armor. - Karrod has a shield with an entirely different texture, because he is just that cool. - The NPC with the Gravedigger two-handed sword still has that sword. + Shield properties are as follows: Weight = 13. 00 (Medium Armor), AR = 55, HP = 1100, Value = 4500, Enchantment = 5. 50 + Included is an optional download that is compatible with my Armor Integrative Modifications mod (versions 0. 6 and 1. 0). !!!NOTE: I take no credit whatsoever for the meshes and textures. GMatthews, in the original mod\'s readme, stated that modders can use his mod for whatever purposes. I assume this also includes redistribution and further modification. Only thank me for the icons.
