Aah, I found a way around the, shall we say, non-overpowered loot in Nox's story mode. The map editor can't seem to do story maps (I get an exception when I save), but I can alter multiplayer maps. So, alter the kit there to my liking, and just temporarily replace the copy of the story map in my save with that wee beauty, grab my crap, and restore the actual story map. I can finally tool around with such wondrous items as "of the Wind of the Wind Armoured Boots of the Wind and the Wind" once more!
