Nightingale and Dragon Armor Statistics

Port of Nightingale with Steam Workshop's DragonArmor Stats mod. I will not own this mod, nor will I be paid for my creation! I just wanted to enjoy this mod on SSE and had some free time so I decided to port this mod.

A restructured version of the Nightingale Armor with DRAGON ARMOR STATS (Light or Heavy, White or Dark) and the ability to wear circles under that hood and the ability to craft circles. All is gone.

You can only forge this if you have the Advanced Armor Smithing perk.

The Dragon Smithing perk allows you to upgrade this armor to its full potential.

Notes from real artists:

I am not a trade artist, nor am I considered one. I'm happy to be a game programmer at my day job. Bethesda hired excellent artists to create the original Nightingale armor, and I have no intention of usurping any credit. I made this model for myself based on existing assets, aiming to change the stats and make minor aesthetic changes to my liking. I'm sharing this mod with the Skyrim community in case anyone wants to look like a nightingale but sting like a dragon.

==================================================

Killer:

Eventually, the Dragonborn discovered a way to preserve the dragon's life force into crafted armor. The dragon-infused armor becomes sentient and forms a symbiotic relationship with the wearer. It calls itself Symbiote Armor.

==================================================

feature:

• Looks like Nightingale armor, but with dragon scale level defense...

*Without the full DragonSmithing upgrade, your Advanced Armor (Flawless) will have higher defense than your Symbiote Armor (Advanced).

*Using a separate model and diffuse texture instead of overlaying the Nightingale armor's existing assets, so any edits I make won't show up on another NPC in the storyline...your crafted armor will be unique in this world.

*Compatible with Match Set and Custom Fit perks. (Counted as dragon scale or dragon plate armor)

2.Show your eyes…

*Unlike the Nightingale hood, the Symbiote hood does not have an eye patch, allowing the wearer to proudly display the window to the soul

• Hood/Circlet combo allows...

Unlike regular hoods, the Symbiote hood can be worn with any circle

• Circlet Crafting......

Dragons can create a "Symbiote Circlet" at any forge, in honor of rule #3

5.Multiple variations

*The lightly armored version has the DragonScale attribute, while the heavily armored version has the DragonPlate attribute.

*White and dark original color variants - both with red cape.

Known issues for those with big heads

If you're an Argonian, Kajiit, Orc, or just have some kind of fetish for epic facial hair, there's a good chance your giant weirdly shaped head won't fit well into a regular hood, and the parts will show through the visor. Sadly, Lydia also falls into this category.

For those characters and others who prefer the anonymous look of the original Nightingale Hood, the "Symbiote Void Hood" has the same stats as the "Symbiote Hood". Using the Void Hood, the entire head is transported into the void, with only glowing eyes visible through the hood.

Those requesting item IDs:

The first two digits of the project ID depend on how many other mods you have installed. You're better off only counterfeiting legitimate items. You can use the product ID to provide yourself with raw materials.

Game balance instructions:

• Dragon Symbiote focuses on game balance and has no intention of ruining the game for players by making it too easy. To maintain balance, a lot of thought went into crafting/quest requirements and stats.
• The stats should be equivalent to the armor you already have available in the game: Dragon Scale/Dragon Scale. Before you get the Dragon Smithing perk, you'll gain higher defense with tempered Guilded Elven armor and Scaled Mail boots/gloves.
• It's true that using …
