📋 About This Mod
Description
===========
Adds health, magicka and stamina/fatigue bonuses to the player, based on their skill levels.
Based on DocRob's mod "Magic Skill Perks", which adds magicka bonuses for having a high skill in the various magic skills, this mod "Passive Skill Bonuses" expands on this idea by adding health and fatigue/stamina bonuses, depending on the other skills too.
Easiest way to describe it: Look at this table: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Skills, every skill in red adds a health bonus, every skill in yellow adds a fatigue/stamina bonus and everyone in blue adds a magicka bonus.
Bonus values (regardless if health, stamina/fatigue or magic):
Skill - Bonus
< 25 - No bonus
>= 25 - 5
>= 50 - 10
>= 75 - 15
>= 100 - 20
Installation
============
Every Mod Manager for Oblivion should be able to handle this, manual install of course possible too.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple, straightforward concept that rewards skill investment.
- Decent community traction with 180 endorsements and over 4k downloads.
- Lightweight and likely compatible with most setups (no dependencies mentioned).
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated May 2025 – may not be compatible with future game patches.
- No details on how bonuses scale or whether they're balanced, so you're going in blind.
For players who want their character's raw stats to grow as they level skills, adding a sense of progression beyond just perks. If you're into role-playing or want a subtle boost without overhauling the skill system, this is for you. Skip if you prefer gameplay overhauls or need detailed documentation.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod likely just adds scripts or effects, make sure your mod manager is set to load it after any skill overhaul mods to avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's page for any patches if you use popular skill mods like Ordinator or Vokrii – the author didn't list any, but it's worth a look.
- If you're on a version of the game that's been updated recently, test the mod early to ensure it still works.
