Benor Is A Guard

THIS MOD

This isn't really a fix like my other mods, but a tweak based on my own preferences.

Benor the thug has always been one of my favorite followers, and one day I started feeling a little sorry for him. He wants to be a guard, but the Morthal guards haven't let him join. My question is, "Why?" The town of Morthal has the poorest defenses and most incompetent guards in all of Skyrim. Considering the guards can't sucessfully investigate one murder case and are unwilling to attack the vampires threatening their town, I say they need more guards like Benor.

This mod makes Benor a Morthal guard, just like he wants and just like they need.
-His gear has been changed to the light armor worn by Morthal guards.
-His stats have been changed to improve his light armor skill instead of heavy armor (no other stat changes).
-Two lines of dialogue stating that he is not a guard have been removed.
-He still functions as a follower after completing his favor.

Note: If a different faction takes control of Morthal during the civil war, Benor remains on duty as a guard but his armor does not change to match the new faction. I may update this mod to handle this issue better in the future, but for now it should have no affect on gameplay.

COMPATIBILITY

Should be absolutely no issues with vanilla Skyrim.
Should be absolutely no issues with DLC.
Might not work properly with other mods that make significant changes to Benor (inventory, stats, etc) but the most likely result is that one mod will overwrite the other based on your mod load order.

FUTURE PLANS

I will make changes to this mod if issues/bugs are brought to my attention in the comments, and I may release an update to improve Benor's response to the Civil War.
