I'm hoping to start on my Dragonia (pronounced "Dru-go-nia") project soon. I'm not an experienced modder, but I figure I might as well start on it sometime, so why not now! I'm figuring on starting with doing some "modding of mods", moddifying mods that are already out there to go with what I want.

I've decided to start with my mages' non-combat outfits, outfits that they'll be wearing when not following me around the wilderness. Unlike their field outfits their secondary uniforms will be colour coordinated to match the type of magic they specialise in (Red = Destruction, White = Restoration, Purple = Conjuration, Blue = Illusion, Brown = Alteration, Green = Druid/Nature etc.) and will also be based on different types of dragon (mostly D&D dragons), as will almost everything within Dragonia.

Anyway, I thought the best place to start would be with the priest outfits, who, like their mage subordinates, would wear colour coordinated outfits. I've decided to stick with tradition by giving them an updated version of the Dragon Priest outfits. I've been thinking about it and whereas I'd keep the Dragon Priest armour pretty much unaltered, I'd want to replace their exposed areas (i.e. body, arms and hands) with either scalemail or simply use the robes from Hothtrooper's armour set http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/18296/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D18296%26preview%3D&pUp=1, and replace the Dragonbone sections with the priest armour, whereas the hood/crown would remain the same as the one used by Hothtrooper. For a basic model for the priest armour I thought of using http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/6537/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D6537%26preview%3D&pUp=1 mod, then add both the robes, enchantments and modified smithing ingredients for each version of the outfit.

Oh, I almost forgot. The custom made priest masks will be open faced like those shown in http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17707/? mod.

Thoughts and questions anyone?
