About this mod
Better Race Abilities is an overhaul of Skyrim's racial abilities that focuses on only passive bonuses rather than powers that often go unused. The goal of this mod is to give the races more interesting and useful abilities that can still work well with multiple builds.
- Permissions and credits
I've tried a couple different race overhauls, but none were quite to my liking. So naturally, I decided to teach myself how to make my own mod. This mod is primarily for personal use, but I decided to upload it in case anyone else was wanting something similar.
This mod gives each race two passive abilities instead of a passive and a power. Some of them I left the same and some are entirely new. I tried to keep the abilities general enough that they can work in multiple different builds. All starting skills remain the same as in the base game. This mod is only an overhaul of the races' abilities.
