📋 About This Mod
Submitted for the May 2019 Modathon.
One of the (many) things that annoys me about Morrowind, and Elder Scrolls games in general, is that unique named items that AREN'T semi-divine artifacts tend to be under-powered to the point of useless. It's not as if giving the player special, one-of-a-kind items with mediocre abilities that are probably weaker than what the player already has on hand - and end up doing nothing more than taking up precious inventory space - is a bad idea or anything.
So enter this mod, my attempt to correct this flaw for many (not all) of the unique items that I felt were the worst offenders. Despite the name, I attempted to balance the enchantments to make the items useful without going overboard. Primarily, I enhanced the enchantment that was already there rather than give them an entirely new one. A few enchantments were changed entirely to be more thematically appropriate. Multiple versions are available to allow for customization. See the plugin descriptions for details.
Here is a breakdown of the 25 items that I've edited and their changes:
Clothing and Jewelry:
Adusamsi's Robe: changed from paralyze for 5 sec to 10 sec
Amulet of Ashumanu: changed from restore 5 health for 5 sec to 10 health for 5 sec
Ashkan's Wedding Gift: added an enchantment of sanctuary 25 pts and restore 5 fatigue 5 for 30 sec
Ashlander Nerevarine Items: Madstone of the Ahemmusa changed from sound 50 pts for 20 sec to 75 pts for 30 sec, Teeth of the Urshilaku changed from resist paralysis 10% to 25%, Thong of Zainab changed from detect animal 150 pts for 5 sec to 10 sec, and Seizing of the Erabenimsun changed from telekinesis 50 pts for 30 sec to 50-75 pts for 45 sec
Fathasa's Ring: changed from fire shield 15 pts to 25 pts
Hands of Zenithar: changed fortify luck and personality from +5 to +8
Hortator Items: Belt of the Hortator changed from fortify magicka 20 pts to fortify agility and speed 10 pts, Ring of the Hortator changed from fortify health 8-15 pts for 30 sec to fortify health 30 pts for 30 sec, and Robe of the Hortator changed from fortify magicka 20 pts for 30 sec to fortify intelligence 20 pts
Hort-Ledd's Robe: changed from turn undead from 6-60 pts for 30 sec to 10-60 pts for 30 sec, changed shield from 5 pts for 30 sec to 15 pts
Mara's Clothing: Mara's Blouse changed from resist magicka 10% to 20%, changed Mara's Skirt from fortify health 5 pts to 25 pts
Moon-and-Star Ring: changed from +5 personality and speechcraft up to +10 to +25 (depends on the plugin)
Restoration Shirt: changed from fortify fatigue 1-10 pts for 5 sec to fortify fatigue 10 pts for 30 sec
