Nightblade Armor Set

The Nightblade Armor set.

This addon adds an armor set suitable to the Nightblade (Rogue / Mage combo) style of play. The artwork is from the games Nightingale set

I love playing a combination of a sneaky rogue with a caster, but there is a problem with the armor sets in Skyrim because there's no armor set that helps people who want to play this type of character while maintaining a sense of style. Personally I play a stealthy character who loves to throw fireballs around, so I see myself as a Rogue first and wanted that look whilst not being gimped in my casting ability.

Getting the armor set
- Bring up the console (press the tilde key)
- Type 'help Nightblade'
---- This will show you a list of the armor
- Type 'player.additem <item id> <quantity>'
---- The item id will correspond with the hexadecimal number you see in the list.

Versions:
1: Added the boots, chest, gloves and helmet
2: Steam upload issues
3: Added the 'Shadowy Nightblade Boots'
4: Added the items to Belethor's shop in Whiterun.

Notes:
- This is at a very early balancing stage, I would really appreciate peoples comments on the stats. I have tried to let me do the jobs I want to do, whilst not sacrificing my utility. However I am worried if by doing that I have made the armor a little over powered? The intent is to let Nightblade's play the class they want to whilst not enabling them to walk through the game. At the moment I have picked the tier 3 level stats, I will be adding more when I get a feel for what is needed.
- At the moment you can only access the armor through the console (help Nightblade, player.additem <item id>) This will again change to either just being bought from a vendor or preferably as a reward from a quest chain.
- I like the rogue look, and I love the Nightingale armor set's look, but it would be nice to have a unique look. However I have the artistic talent of my dead cat! So if anyone can propose and make something I would be incredibly grateful.
