Morrowind Races Redone - OpenMW

Morrowind Race Abilities Redone

This is an openMW mod that uses an omwaddon file.  To install, follow the openMW instructions for adding an omwaddon file to your openmw.cfg file.

Morrowind races are significantly unbalanced across each other, with some races having exceptional abilities and/or powers that provide a distinct identity for that race and provide long-term value throughout your play-through while others receive abilities/powers that are weak from the start or provide minimal utility longer term.

This mod attempts to address these concerns by providing each race with either new abilities/powers or tweaks to existing ones to make each race more thematic and have a broader range of abilities and powers that are effective throughout your playtime.

The primary objective of each change is to ensure there are strong, mechanical reasons to play a given race (rather than simply cosmetic).  In some cases, existing powers and abilities have been nerfed while adding new ones to forge a better identity for a race.
