Heavy armor adjustments

This mod includes some tweaks to the Heavy Armor perk to improve its usefulness in some small ways.

This mod adds the following tweaks, all in an attempt to make the heavy armor unique in some way:

Increase damage reduction by adding elemental damage resistance

Increases combat effectiveness when wearing other types of armor

Makes Heavy Armor users a force to be reckoned with in a different way than Light Armor users

Eliminates the ability to sneak effectively and be as agile as a Light Armor user

I've tweaked some of the heavy armor perks in an attempt to keep the unique philosophy of heavy armor; increase the damage mitigation benefits of light armor; and provide slight benefits to the user over other types of armor. I also try to keep the editor friendly and balanced. I'm testing this and would appreciate any feedback on the chosen values.

This mod is inspired by dead Armor's Heavy Armor Perk Revision

Mod details:

Heavy armor now includes some damage mitigation over the physical damage cap.

Modify Cushioned to add 20% resistance to all elements. This appears as a magic effect once Impact is selected and the player uses all heavy armor.

Wearing heavy armor will make it easier to move around, but sneaking around is less feasible than wearing light or no armor.

Modified tuning to reduce the weight of heavy armor instead of setting it to zero.

Wearing heavy armor can completely mitigate an incoming stagger. You can now stand and face any type of attacker without being knocked off your feet.

Modified power towers to eliminate stagger.

Melee combat is more effective in heavy armor.

Modified conditioning to add 20% stamina cost to all power attacks using one- or two-handed weapons. Modify the Tower of Power to add 25% additional attack power to all one- or two-handed attack types.

Mod editing details:

The mod adds the following tweaks, all of which are done to attempt to make heavy armor in some ways unique:

Increase in damage mitigation by adding Elemental damage resistance

Increase in combat utility above and beyond what can be done while wearing other kinds of armors

Make heavy armor users a force to be reckoned with in ways that differ from Light Armor users

Remove the ability to sneak effectively and the ability to be just as agile as Light Armor users

I have tweaked a few of the heavy armor perks to try and keep the idea of heavy armor unique; augment the damage mitigation advantage over light armor; and provide a slight benefit over other kinds of armor users. I've also attempted to keep the edits lore friendly and balanced. I am play testing and appreciate any feedback regarding the values chosen.
