✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple, focused buff—no bloat, just the essentials.
- Recent update (Sept 2024) means it's likely compatible with current game version.
- Community-tested with 170 endorsements and nearly 9.5k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Only one stat change and four proficiencies—if you want a full race overhaul, this isn't it.
- No detailed documentation on how the proficiencies are implemented (e.g., are they passive or active?).
- Small mod with limited scope—might not be worth it if you already use a larger race mod.
For Dragonborn players who want a slight edge in movement and utility without changing the race's identity. If you're a min-maxer looking for a tiny boost, this is for you. Skip if you prefer full race overhauls or don't play Dragonborn.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a race tweak, make sure it loads after any mods that alter the Dragonborn race to avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager, enable this mod and check for conflicts with other race mods in your load order.
- Test the movement speed in-game—+1m is subtle, so you might not notice it unless you're paying attention.
