Description
============
Rebalances each race and birthsign to allow greater build diversity. Also doubles base magicka from 1x int to 2x int, so that every character can effectively use magic, just like every character can effectively use weapons and armor.
Attributes and skills for most races have been changed, and differences between genders for each race will be no larger than 5 points.
============
Permissions
============
Modify my mod, but credit me as the original creator
=============
Installation
=============
Simply place the ESP in your data files folder and activate it.
If updating from a previous version on a new save, your character will not have the new abilities. Unfortunately, I know of no way to update old saves, as removing character abilities and re-adding them will add the old, saved version.
========
Removal
========
Delete the "Circumstances of their Birth.esp" file. Not recomended to uninstall mid-game, as things WILL be bugged. But, if you're determined, be sure to clean your save using Wrye Mash.
==================
Incompatibilities
==================
Any mod which modifies races or birthsigns in any way will be incompatable with this mod. Otherwise, there should be no issues.
