Features

  • []Mannaz replaces all racial bonuses.[/]

    []Mannaz is designed to be feature rich and impactful without being bloated or overbearing.[/]

    []Racial bonuses are meant to benefit all builds (no "Wood elf does 25% more bow damage").[/]

    []Mannaz is balanced against the strongest vanilla races: most races have one combat ability and one flavour ability.[/]

    []Mannaz includes USSEP fixes for race records.[/]

          []Ancestral Protector:  Once a day, when a foe is about to deliver a killing blow, an ancestor spirit drains Health and knocks them down.[/]

          []Fireblood:  Dark Elves who are struck by a fire spell or touch a forge will capture some of its fire for later use.[/]
