You Are Not A Novice - Higher Level Start

Do you think it's odd that the Dragonborn has barely learned any skill before coming to Skyrim?

Do you find the early game tedious and would like to skip to the fun part?

Are you itching to try out that new quest mod, but it requires a high level and a fresh start?

Then this mod is for you!

Description

After entering Helgen Keep and getting your bindings removed, the mod will activate and you will be presented with a series of menus. You will be asked to pick a class and a level of proficiency, and after confirming your choices some of your skills will be increased. Alternatively, choosing "I am a novice" at the start will close the menu and allow you to remain at level 1 and continue the game normally.

There are twelve classes to choose from, broken down into three specialties. Each class has three major skills and three minor skills. All class skills receive an increase, with major skills being increased more than minor skills. Additionally, class with magic skills also receive appropriate spells. See details below for each class.

There are four proficiency levels to choose from, from apprentice to master. This determines how much major and minor skills are increased, and, for spellcasters, how many spells are learned. See details below.

The skill increases will make your character level up, exactly as if the skills had been increased through normal gameplay. So the final step is to open the skills menu and pick your attributes and perks. Note that because of the way character experience works, how many levels you gain will depend on how much your class skills match your racial skill bonuses. An altmer mage, for example, will gain a few more levels than a nord thief for the same proficiency level.
