📋 About This Mod

Overhauls all playable races with new passives and powers, and allows you to augment your racial abilities by visiting a rune stone rather than just getting temporary bound equipment.

Description

The vanilla races are iconic, but many of their racial abilities quickly become forgettable, while the rune stones scattered across Cyrodiil offer little incentive to seek them out beyond a single spell.

This mod completely reworks both systems.

Every race now has a unique passive ability and a Greater Power, each designed to reinforce that race's identity and playstyle. In addition, every rune stone can now augment your racial power, allowing you to tailor it to your character as your adventure unfolds.

Instead of being one-time curiosities, rune stones become meaningful destinations that let you adapt your racial abilities throughout your playthrough.

There are three types of rune stones, each specializing in a different style of augmentation:

  • []Hestra focuses on magic and offense. [/]

    []Reman focuses on combat and defense. [/]

    []Sidri-Ashak focuses on stealth, utility, and cooldown manipulation. [/]

You may freely switch between augmentations by visiting the appropriate rune stone, once per day.
