Documentation done on all classes
Ahead of the classes makes many vanilla and TR classes playable and adds many new classes.
All these classes get a specific set of items and/or spells and powers as well as buffs to MWSE Skills.
The items are class-specific and the spell crafted with role-play in mind.
Loadouts include vanilla, TR, OAAB and, depending on your modlist, items and MWSE skill buffs from your mods.
Custom classes also get starting loadout (items and spells).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive coverage with 100+ classes, so nearly every playstyle gets something.
- Community-trusted with 425 endorsements and over 19k downloads.
- Integrates TR and OAAB content, making it a must-have for modded Morrowind players.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires MWSE, so it won't work with OpenMW or vanilla Morrowind.
- No explicit list of included classes or loadout examples in the description.
- Last updated May 2025, but compatibility with the latest MWSE or TR versions isn't confirmed.
For Morrowind players who want their class choice to actually matter beyond skills. If you're running Tamriel Rebuilt or OAAB, this mod is a no-brainer. Skip if you're on OpenMW or prefer minimal modding.
