Stronger Daedric Artifacts

Most Daedric Artifacts were modified.

-Higher damage/armor rating
-Powerful enchantments
-Unlimited charges
-Most are now disenchantable and improveable
-Worth more gold
-Stack with smithing perks

In the Elder Scrolls lore, daedric artifacts are ultra powerful items crafted by the god-like daedra, granting those who wield them with supreme power. While they should be the best items in the game, in Skyrim most of them are quite wimpy.

Bethesda made some weak and some a bit stronger, allowing gamers to find artifacts that are suitable to their level throughout the game, trying to never make the experience too tough or too easy. Thing is, I hate overly leveled gameplay and dumbed down items (especially daedric artifacts); it stops gameplay from being dynamic and exciting.

Here is what I did to upset the balance a bit:

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

==REVISION 2.1 CHANGES==
-Fixed glitch with Ebony Blade. See update history for details.

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

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

LIMITATIONS
(this list is not exhaustive and needs to be updated)

==========================================================================
The following items can be disenchanted, but cannot have their enchantments put on other items: all staffs, ebony mail, ring of namira, saviors hide, spellbreaker, masque of clavicus vile

Ebony Blade enchantment does not work when put on other items

Newly enchanted items with daedric enchantments may have unlimited charges until you reboot the game, then they return to normal (thanks for the info Psychotic Killer Cheeseburger)
*this may no longer be the case; unlimited charges are now working for me. Further testing is required.

This mod should be compatible with almost all other mods. It only adds a few
enchantments and buffs item statistics and little else. It should therefore
be compatible with all mods except those that change these same stats.

This mod is save game compatible; no need to start a new playthru.

Any issues can likely be fixed by altering your load order.

As with any modded game, you can either put this mod lower so that it
overwrites the changes of your other mods, or put this higher, so other mods
overwrite it.

If you have a lot of mods installed, its always a good idea to create a
merged or bashed patch.

I welcome all comments, feedback, bug reports, etc.
Thank you for viewing this, and I hope you enjoy the mod.
