Details

Nature's Arsenal adds 13 unique weapons and shields inspired by three different climate zones found on Cyrodiil- Forest, Marsh, and Mountain. These weapons were specifically designed with rangers, druids, and other nature-themed characters in mind.

All the weapons and armor have values close to Daedric weapons and armor, with the weapons being slightly faster, lighter, and weaker. You can find all the values for the weapons and shields on the .xls file uploaded here:

The mod's sets include:
FOREST

Oak Bowie Knife - dagger
Silver Birch Blade - 1-h blade
Golden Birch Blade - 1-h blade
Crow's Edge Axe - 1-h blunt
Dead Maple Recurve - bow

Keep in mind, this is my very first mod for Oblivion and not all the textures and meshes will be perfect. I do have plans in the future to add more weapons to the marsh and mountain sets, as well as redoing some of the not-so-good meshes. I'm very open to constructive feedback.
