📋 About This Mod
Class Advantages Make Oblivion classes really stand out from each other, just like in Arena and Daggerfall. Visit the official forum thread at:http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1125389-relz-class-advantages/ Author: Zenshinzenrei Version 1. 01 FINAL. Latest update: 01. 01 FINAL ---------------- - The Magicka bonuses for Magicka Affinity (Moderate and Superior) were not being added properly. This issue is now fixed. However for this update, I recommend users to uninstall and reinstall Class Advantages so NPCs that have Magicka Affinity will also get the appropriate bonus added to their stats. Please see the Installation/Uninstallation section in the readme for more details. Requirements: Oblivion v1. 2. 0416 (The latest patch) OBSE v0019 or higher. Get it at http://obse.silverlock.org/ *Class Advantages uses Event Handler functions that are only available in OBSE v0019. Installation: Extract all the contents of the .zip file into you Oblivion\\Data folder. Enable Class Advantages.esp through the Oblivion launcher or OBMM. Make sure you are running Oblivion with OBSE v0019 or higher or else the mod will not function. Once in-game wait for the Class Advantages Initialization message to appear to ensure that the mod is running. Class Advantages is designed for both new and existing characters. If starting a new game, selecting a predefined Oblivion class will automatically grant your character pre-assigned advantages. Selecting a custom class will enable you to select three (3) advantages through a series of pop up menus. For existing characters, the mod will automatically check for the character\'s class. If it\'s a predefined Oblivion class the mod automatically grants your character pre-assigned advantages. Custom classes will enable you to select three (3) advantages through a series of pop up menus. Read the Advantages Descriptions and List by Class for more information. Uninstallation: Disable the Class Advantages esp. Load a saved game without Class Advantages active and make a clean save. It is best if a save is made in an area with no PC or NPC action (combat, sneaking, running, sitting, etc.). Special Case: If the player character has the Armored Spellcaster Advantage, unequip all non-zero weight armor before making the save. If the character\'s Spell Effectiveness is not equal to 100% open the console by pressing the tilde (~) key. Type player. ModPCSpellEffectiveness and the value needed to make it reach 100%. For example if SE is 80%, player. ModPCSpellEffectiveness 20 will make SE become 100%. If SE is 120%, player. ModPCSpellEffectiveness -20 will make SE become 100%. Incompatibilies/ Known Issues: There are no in-game descriptions for advantages, due to the character/line limit for scripts within the CS. I HIGHLY recommend reading up on the Advantage descriptions in the README before starting a game with Class Advantages. Pressing ESC to access the in-game Options menu, selectin
