📋 About This Mod

Here is the Sithis Armour: Special Edition. With the special edition version of this armour comes not just a standard port forwarded to Skyrim SE from Oldrim, but a complete 'remaster' of sorts. The textures and some of the models have seen complete overhauls. All new weapon models and a new addition in the form of a Dark Brotherhood themed bow.

This is a new Dark Brotherhood themed assassin armour with a light and heavy version available (and a male and female). The armour is craft-able at any forge if you have an 85 smithing level and a 75 light or heavy armour level, depending on which one you wish to craft. If you do not have these skill levels then the armour will NOT appear at the forge. The armour is also temper-able, of course.

All the stats to the armour are roughly at the same level as the Ebony gear, though you'll only need standard steel level crafting materials to make it. There are two variants of the cowl, a more straight black one and one with the pattern of a skull, you can also have hoodless masks or a maskless hood - you'll be able to craft all variants at the forge. There are also matching blades - a one handed shortsword and a two handed bastard sword that I created from scratch for you to use that is also craftable. I have included the left mesh for the blade for so you can use it with Dual Sheath Redux, which is demonstrated in the screenshots above. To be able to craft the bastard sword you will need a 75 skill level in two-handed on top of the required smithing and heavy armour skill levels.

Sithis Armour - Special Edition - Mastercraft Version

This mod add-on created by Shadriss is a gameplay enhancements for the Sithis armour, to allow it to be used in a more mid to late-game setting and offers an overall different gameplay balance. These additions Include a Frostfall patch, crafting recipe changes/additions, variants for better level scaling and much more. I recommend taking a look, it really tops off the gameplay experience with this armour.

COMING SOON

- The female variant of the armour still needs to see a texture overhaul. So I'll most likely be working on this next.

- Create unique arrows to go along with the bow, though this is low on the priority list.

REQUIREMENTS
