DESCRIPTION:
This mod replaces the vanilla leveling system of governing attributes & multipliers with one that uses your class skill selection to determine attribute growth.
The goal is to make each character's attributes reflect the strengths and weaknesses of his given skillset. Combat skills heavily favor STR and END, stealth skills favor AGI, SPD, PER, and LCK, and magic skills favor INT and WIL.
YOU MUST BEGIN A NEW CHARACTER for this to work properly. If you are not level 1, the mod will shut itself off.
+ Gain 320 total attributes over 64 levels (5/lvl) + Attribute growth determined by class skill selection + Choose 1 bonus attribute each level + Go over 100 w/ MCP
+ Constant balanced progression + Easy to use & non-intrusive + Lightweight & simple script
+ No micromanaging multipliers + No need to level Misc skills
-------------------------------
Balanced attribute spreads based on class Meaningful progression over a character's lifetime Reduce or eliminate metagaming & micromanaging Player choice each levelup Lightweight as possible Fit in the existing framework
-------------------------------
HOW IT WORKS:
This mod uses a script with it's own internal leveling system. Whe
This gameplay mod replaces Skyrim's vanilla leveling system, which relies on governing attributes and multipliers, with a system that uses your class skill selection to determine attribute growth. It offers a fresh approach for players seeking more character build control, though it has a small following and hasn't been updated since 2017.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Unique take on leveling that ties attribute growth directly to your chosen class skills.
- Small but dedicated community (20 endorsements) suggests it works for those who try it.
- Simple concept—no need to juggle multipliers, just pick your skills and grow.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—likely incompatible with the current Skyrim version and may cause issues.
- Only 20 endorsements, so it's a niche mod with limited testing and community feedback.
- No documentation or install instructions provided by the author, so setup might be tricky.
For Skyrim players who want a more class-based leveling experience and are tired of the vanilla attribute multipliers. If you're a modder or enjoy tinkering with older mods, this could be a fun experiment. Skip if you prefer modern, well-maintained overhauls or need compatibility with the latest game version.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2017, check if you're using Skyrim Special Edition or Legendary Edition—it may only work on the latter.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and easily disable if issues arise.
- Test the mod on a new save to avoid conflicts with existing character progression.
