📋 About This Mod

This mod is a BETA Ever noticed how perfectly useless the robes are in vanilla Oblivion? Well, I have. This fact made it difficult to me to play like a real mage, wielding a staff and wearing a robe of some kind. This mod should convey to you a true experience of playing like a mage. I have added about 50 robes to the game and changed some of the existing ones. Most of those robes are enchanted, so now wearing those robes can be as useful as wearing armor. Almost every robe provides a shield enchantment, so it will give you some armor class. The other items added are staves. 34 new staves are now in the game. They are counted as blunt weapons and are used like warhammers. Again, every staff is enchanted. I also thought that a staff should give its user some boost, so now almost every staff has a script attached to it which gives it some beneficial effects. Most of the items are placed in leveled lists, so they will appear randomly in the game. Also robes can be bought at general merchants and staves at blacksmiths. There are several unique items that have been placed to specific locations. You can read something about them in the Tamerilic Lore book. I have tried to browse the CS and delete any reference to the existing robes and replace them with my own robes. So, this mod is not a replacer (unlike my previous mods) Plase, there is an oficial thread for this mod http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=770335&st=0&gopid=11173683&#entry11173683 if you find anything strange, odd or anything about this mod, please, post there. This mod is still in BETA, so I will update it every now and then. The version 0. 52 is uploaded. It now contains both the patches and have and OMod option.
