What it is and how to use it:

Poor Sten is the red-headed stepchild of Bioware companions. No real starting gear, no unique companion accessory item, only one specialization, and because of the area level scaling, I never acquire his only 'personal' item (Asala) until the game is nearly over.  

In the interest of giving him something Qunari-ish, I usually pick up the Par Vollen Willstone amulet, but it's annoying to have to pay for a companion trinket when all the others come equipped with one. *grumpy face*

With this mod, Sten will be equipped at recruitment with 'Cord of the Beresaad', an amulet-slot accessory with modest stats and restricted to Sten; the description ('braided of many thin leather strands... otherwise unornamented') was inspired by the ubiquitous neckseam concealer.

For users of NSIBystander's Improved Follower Items (http://social.bioware.com/project/1349/), I've also included alternate versions of the amulet, with stats similar to that mod's Low/Medium/High versions of the vanilla follower accessories.


INSTALL ONLY ONE by placing the desired version into the override folder (usually something like \Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\override):

tsm_sten_cord -> 'vanilla' stats
tsm_sten_cord_low -> improved low stats
tsm_sten_cord_med -> improved medium stats
tsm_sten_cord_high -> improved high stats


To revert to Sten's original starting gear, just delete my files.
