About this mod

This mod adds a few new races to play with that are commonly used in other stuff like Neverwinter Nights.

Permissions and credits
Requirements: Shivering Isles Expansion
Recommended: Alternate Start works wonderfully with this, and bypasses some of the problems with using custom races.

Okay this is my first published mod, ever. Me and my brother had an idea of creating some of those races we like from other lores.
Each race has its own special powers, and they all(except the giant and sheogorath) are balanced. They follow the race skill points guideline so it works out well.
Quick Note: Due to their height dwarves and halflings cant swim well. So be careful out there.

On here we added the Halfling, Dwarf, Giant, and Half Vampire(not found in other games I thought it'd be cool). All custom races. And for the heck of it we allow you to play with Golden Saint, Dark Seducer, And Sheogorath, all with slight rebalancing to make them player friendly. So now you can change their hair and stuff.

The halfling has natural resistances to Poison, Paralysis, and disease, along with the ability "Hide in Plain sight" which chameleons you 75% once per day.
The Dwarf has some poison resistance and normal weapons resistance. They can also use "Deepvision" as many times as they want.

The Giant is exceptionally strong and has cold and normal weapons resistances. He also has the "Giant's Rage" which is very powerful(once per day).

The Half-Vampire has a slight weakness to fire, and he has resistance to cold and cannot be diseased. He has the ability to "Hold betwween Life and death" which resurrects people to be your servant for 60 seconds.

I have not edited any abilities of the other races. Also I wanted to make the Dremora playable but could not because it wouldnt let you pick your hair after you went over them.
Problems: If you cannot change your eyes(thanks a lot Giant) you can use "showracemenu" to change them *before* you leave the sewer. If you use "showracemenu" outside of the sewer to change to a custom race, Oblivion will crash.
Recommended: You should use Equipable Beards mod for your dwarf, unless you want a beardless dwarf.

Install: Extract files to oblivion data folder
Uninstall: Delete darbyraces8.esp

Future plans: I want to make even more races that can fit into the oblivion world and more variations of my custom ones. Also would like to insert races into the world.
