Biggie Traits - Racial Traits
Racial Traits aims to provide a unique and lore-orientated trait for each race, including vampire and werewolf. Each trait can only be used with its respective race. Beast races have bonuses both in and out of their transformations. However, they often offer larger benefits, even more so for beast races, than normal traits due to this restriction. This is not a racial overhaul.
Traits:
Altmer:
The Altmer draw upon the boundless light of Aetherius, growing deadlier as their reserves burn away. Each tenth of magicka spent increases spell damage, with diminishing returns past 50% for a total of 60%. However, magicka regenerates half as fast during battle.
Argonians:
The Hist's ancient roots bind your spirit to the living world, calling you back from the brink. When below 30% health, your health regeneration triples and all healing received is 30% more effective. Consuming any potion also restores 30 health over 5 seconds. However, your cold-blooded physiology makes you 25% weaker to frost damage, and stamina potions are 30% less effective.
Bosmer:
The Bomser channel speed and instinct into deadly accuracy, but the Green Pact binds them with a sacred cost. For each consecutive arrow hit, you gain a stacking +5% ranged damage boost (resets out of combat, max +30%), and daggers have 5% increased damage. However, violating the Green Pact disables food benefits for 90 minutes, and you're forbidden from harvesting plants and chopping wood.
Bretons:
Dunmer:
Veloth's Flame sharpens your magic when paired with the dance of steel. Fire spells are 25% more effective and cost 15% less magicka when wielding a sword or dagger in your right hand. However, your bond to flame greatly diminishes your apptitude with frost and lightning weakening them by 30%.
Imperials:
When above 70% health, melee damage with (great)swords and ranged damage with bows is increased by 10%. Taking melee damage has a 15% chance to restore 50 stamina over 5 seconds and fortify block by 15% for 5 seconds. However, health and stamina potions are 50% less effective above half health and stamina, respectively.
Biggie Traits adds a unique, lore-friendly trait for each race in Skyrim, including vampire and werewolf, with restrictions to their respective races. Beast races gain bonuses both in and out of transformations, but the mod is not a full racial overhaul. It offers situational benefits with trade-offs, such as increased spell damage for Altmer at the cost of slower magicka regen.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lore-friendly traits that feel tailored to each race, adding depth without overhauling the whole system.
- Beast races get extra love with transformation bonuses, making them more rewarding to play.
- Solid community backing with 63 endorsements and nearly 9.5k downloads, showing it's been tried and liked.
⚠️ Cons
- The description cuts off mid-sentence for Imperials and is missing Bretons entirely, so you won't know the full trait list until you install.
- Traits come with significant drawbacks (like 25% frost weakness for Argonians) that might feel punishing in certain builds.
- Since it's not a racial overhaul, it won't fix any base-game racial imbalances—it just adds new perks on top.
For Skyrim players who want to add a bit of racial flavor without a full overhaul, especially those who enjoy playing beast races and want their transformations to matter more. If you're looking for a complete rebalance of racial abilities, this isn't it—it's a light, lore-driven addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no manual file placement needed.
- Check the mod page for any patches if you use other racial overhaul mods, as this might conflict with them.
- Since traits are race-locked, plan your character's race around the trait you want to experience.
