The mod also makes the following changes for all versions:
There are also a few options for mixing bits of 1.06b into other versions of the game such as pre-LOD monster resistances (removes most immunities), removal of casting delays, pre-LOD Lord De Seis (Conviction aura + Oblivion Knight minions), and Flamespike the Crawler.
See the README.md in the mod folder for more information.
I'm open to feedback and ideas for other features.
Limitations

- Skills in general. Many have changed drastically over time in their mechanics and how they are parameterized. I will never be able to accurately restore some of them. This often results in some skills being more powerful than they used to be, especially when playing version 1.06b. For example, Lightning Mastery reduced the mana cost of lightning skills in 1.06b instead of boosting their damage. I don't believe I have a method to restore this.
- Legacy Blood Golem + Iron Maiden behavior
- Increase /players monster HP scaling to 1.09 levels
- Raise maximum % physical damage reduced from 50% to 75% (the 1.09 limit)
- Automods on unique/set items
- Duriel charge - still exists in the monster AI and can be enabled, but it is bugged and often causes Duriel to get stuck in animation
