feature

While the races in Elder Scrolls have their own unique bonuses, not all races are created equal. Some of these are more effective in the end game than others, and some are spectacular active powers that only players can use, which may not be suitable for non-dragon games. Additionally, daily powers often go unused due to the need to select them in the menu and the 48 seconds to wait for the cooldown to drain.

This is a small mod that replaces the vanilla race bonuses with two immersive passive bonuses per race.

The mod does not modify the match data itself, ensuring compatibility with mods that visually overhaul matches. It is an .esl file to hold the mod slot.
