📋 About This Mod
A mod that makes the game's birthsigns more in line with what you can read in "The Firmament" book found in the Census and Excise office.
After reading "The Firmament" I realized it really didn't seem like the gameplay designers and book authors in Morrowind were on the same page. There are many differences between what you read about in the book and what you see in the birthsigns you can pick, so I altered them to be more what you'd expect after reading the book. Also, this mod isn't necessarily supposed to be "balanced," it's just a more accurate version of what I interpreted the birthsigns should be according to the book, some signs will still be better than others, also some received no changes.
Keep in mind though the mod is in .omwaddon format, if you simply rename the file extension to .esp it should work just fine in the vanilla engine, though I haven't tested this, so tell me if there's a problem with it in the vanilla engine. I just don't use the vanilla engine anymore at all, especially with those really cool new features the OpenMW nightly builds have now. Also, I THINK the Fortify/Drain Attribute effects behave differently in the vanilla engine vs. OpenMW, my intended effect is how they behave in OpenMW, but it's not too different in the vanilla engine I believe so it's not too big of a deal.
If you notice any bugs or other such discrepancies post em. The pictures are irrelevant but are required to upload the mod so enjoy some sparkly Morrowind hunks.
THE WARRIOR
"Those born under the sign of the Warrior are skilled with weapons of all kinds, but prone to short tempers."
(Change is pretty obvious, you're a natural with weapons but a very short tempered person)
VANILLA
Warwyrd - Fortify Attack 10 pts
Warwyrd - Fortify Attack 15 pts
Drain Personality 20 pts
"Those born under the Mage have more magicka and talent for all kinds of spellcasting, but are often arrogant and absent-minded."
(Now you have a 20 Willpower bonus, which translates to about 5% better chance of casting all spells, but Personality wise you can be pretty annoying/arrogant to others, and a penalty to Agility which means less dodging and more falling down in combat because of absent-mindedness)
VANILLA
Fay - Fortify Maximum Magicka 0. 5x INT
MODDED
Fay - Fortify Maximum Magicka 0. 5x INT
Fortify Willpower 20 pts
Drain Personality 10 pts
Drain Agility 10 pts
THE THIEF"Those born under the sign of the Thief are not typically thieves, though they take risks more often and only rarely come to harm. They will run
out of luck eventually, however, and rarely live as long as those born
under other signs."
(Bad luck could possibly one day cause your death. -10 Luck is -1% to all rolls, so though it's unlikely, one day, that -1% could cause you to miss when you co
