About this mod
This mod makes the player's choice of race have long-lasting impacts on the player's abilities, while replacing active abilities that get less useful over time with passives that stay useful.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
This mod combines the approaches of Jelidity's Racial Abilities - Greater Power Replacement and mods like Imperious and Disparity. Greater powers are completely replaced by passive abilities, but the abilities and stats of individual races are heavily altered.
I use Jelidity's mod and will probably keep using it, but I thought it would be interesting for this mod to exist.
Approach
Humans were given less lopsided stats and weaker but completely positive abilities. Elves, argonians, and khajiit have more lopsided stats and more powerful abilities, but these abilities also come with penalties.
Heights have been slightly altered to make height differences more obvious. Nords are short now. This is probably the most controversial change in this mod.
Taller races are given more overall base stats, and shorter races are given fewer overall base stats. However, shorter races have more overall stat regeneration, and taller races have less overall stat regeneration.
Races that are taller and have stats focused on health and stamina have higher starting carry weights, while races that are smaller and have fewer stats allocated to health and stamina have lower starting carry weights.
In vanilla Skyrim, most races have 4 base unarmed damage, Argonians and Khajiit have 10 base unarmed damage, and Khajiit have an additional 12 unarmed damage from their ability. In this mod, unarmed damage is spread between 4 base damage and 10 base damage based on height and stats allocated to health and stamina. Argonians and Khajiit keep their 10 base unarmed damage, and the Khajiit ability increases unarmed damage by 25%.

Economy
Argonians, Dark Elves, High Elves, Khajiit, and Orcs now face discriminatory pricing in Skyrim. You will be reminded of this and shown the exact values the first time you enter barter as that race. Vendors in the Companions, Thieves Guild, College of Winterhold, Dawnguard and Volkihar are excluded from this if you have also joined this faction.
This feature is also available separately.
Starting Skills
I don't think starting skills should be determined by race so I've made minimal edits to these. See mod images for specifics. I recommend you use CLASS instead.
