📋 About This Mod
This mod is just a small modification for the wonderful, wonderful gameplay changer Wintersun - Faiths of Skyrim by Enai Siaion.
Inspired by Velgath's Skill Rate Remover, I first made this for personal use, because I play heavily modded Skyrim also with Static Skill Leveling Rewritten mod by RookMeister and noyou. Even if you don't use Static skill levelling, this works well, if you want to avoid the Experience mod affecting your gameplay style at certain levels.
Now I put this in public just in case someone else needed it. I tried to keep the modifications close to the original where it made sense. Hope you enjoy it.
Changes are made as follows:
-
[]Akatosh - Shrine blessing - Increased Experience: Learn all skills 10% faster => 15 % magic resistance (To emphasis the role as a divine favored dragonslayer).[/]

I gave larger improvement for this, because now Peryite and Auriel along with Riddle'Thar give the same boost to ALL Skills. (The player active effect percentage may not be accurate, but I haven't the skill yet to change that).[/]
