Crazier Races and Birthsigns

Abilities and powers have been added or buffed (every class has at least one of each now), and each class gained +10 total skill points for additional versatility (beast races got +20 on top of that). The main goal of this mod is to make your choice of race and birthsign have a greater impact on your overall playthrough, as well as to reduce the feeling that certain races or birthsigns are just straight up better than all the others with no real trade-off.

ALTERED: Water Breathing: 2 minutes -> 5 minutes

Argonians are used to living in swamps and have a natural affinity for water, Skyrim gives them permenant water breathing, and their scales should naturally help resist damage a little. The bonuses should balance out their inability to wear boots or closed-face helmets.

I originally made water breathing passive, but have changed it back to a spell as of 1. 1 because I learned that passive water breathing breaks a temple quest.

While Bretons have a natural affinity for magic, their culture holds knights and knightly valor in high esteem, so I gave them an extra power to reflect that.

Bretons are said to have a natural grasp of enchantment, so I gave them a pretty big boost.

I've given them some extra fire/frost/shock resistance since they effectively have that in later games. Still not as OP as Oblivion Bretons.
