Star Signs - Birthsigns Reimagined

Description

The celestial bodies are said to bless those born under their signs, but in practice, these blessings come at a price.

This mod completely reimagines birthsigns, turning them into active, playstyle-defining choices rather than passive stat bonuses. Every birthsign now grants a passive ability and a powerful at-will lesser power, designed to feel impactful while introducing meaningful tradeoffs.

These lesser powers are intentionally strong, but they come with drawbacks that force careful timing and decision-making. Many effects inflict permanent attribute damage, which must be recovered through restoration spells, potions, or divine intervention at a Wayshrine of the Nine.

Key Changes

• []Every birthsign now has:

  [] 1 Passive Ability [/]

  []1 Lesser Power (usable at will) [/]

[]Lesser Powers are powerful but come with significant drawbacks [/]

[]Many abilities apply permanent attribute damage [/]

[]Encourages deliberate, tactical use rather than constant activation [/]
