- Description
- ***********************************
- Have you ever thought it\'s silly you can walk around in Dark Brotherhood armor in broad daylight with half a dozen guards around? That peasants stop to discuss local rumors with notorious assassins? Well, all that is over once you\'ve installed this plugin.
- Wearing any Dark Brotherhood apparel now disguises you, just like Nocturnal\'s Cowl. Unlike the Cowl, DB apparel does not magically hide your identity. If you put DB apparel on or off in front of people, you\'ll be caught and the guard will come after you. If you do succesfully disguise yourself, you\'ll have a murder bounty on your head (you are an assassin after all). If you\'re caught you can\'t disguise yourself again until you get rid of the bounty or sit out your jail sentence.
- There are a few safe spots where it\'s always safe to put DB apparel on or off. Namely in any houses you own and any places owned by a guild you\'re a member of. The entire Shivering Isles are also safe, because there is no law against the Dark Brotherhood there.

- ***********************************
- If, for some reason, you decide to wear DB armor at the same time as the Cowl, you must take them off in the reverse order you put them on. Otherwise the scripts will get confused and you\'ll get incorrect fame/infamy/bounty stats. The same goes for any other disguise plugins you might use.

- (Un)Installation
- ***********************************
- To install, just place the .esp in the Data folder and enable it.
- Take off all DB armor before removing the plugin to set your fame/infamy/bounty stats to their correct values.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, just drop the mod in and activate it — no load order worries for a simple tweak.
