📋 About This Mod
I added some low level noncombat vitality regen even in harder difficulties as using food to heal irks me.

Just a little tweak. If you like it, try my other mod, Lore Friendly Alchemy. It changes the potion system back to something more like the older games/books. It also renders this mod unnecessary, as it's included...

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons

- Simple tweak that doesn't overhaul combat or other systems.
- Author provides clear installation steps, though they are manual.
⚠️ Cons
- Installation is fiddly: requires running a batch file and selecting files, which can be intimidating.

- Follow the installation steps exactly: the reimport.bat will ask for three files in order.
