VERSION 0.3 UPDATE NOTICE!!!
----------------------------------
The new version of this mod new requires Dawnguard. In addition, to facilitate further updates and to give additional flexibility, players now have the ability to craft memoirs of variable strength. The upside is that you can mix and match now. The downside is that I was forced to change the reference ids of each ability.
Since ability effects remain on a character if the ability is removed, you need to manually remove the old abilities before you upgrade!
Upgrade Instrucions
1. Start Skyrim and remove all of your learned abilities. In order to make your life easier, I've listed all of the refrence IDs for the spells below. I've also included a batch file. Remember that you have to change the "xx" to the mod load order. If you're not sure what the first two numbers should be, type in 'help "Oblivion Bound" 4' in the console and take note of the first two numbers in the spell.
2. Once all abilities are removed, make a new save.
3. Uninstall the old mod.
4. Install the new mod.
5. Enjoy!

After finishing off all of the various faction and organization quests, I was highly disappointed that my achievements held little to no mechanical impact. This mod aims to provide characters with lore friendly and (hopefully) balanced abilities that reflect their status in the world.

Learning the Abilities
----------------------------------
In order to learn an milestone ability, a character must first craft the appropriate memoir at the forge. Each memoir requires 2 rolls of paper, 1 leather, and the completion of one or more linked quests. Version 0.3 adds multiple versions of the abilities in varying strengths. Simply craft the version you feel most appropriate and ignore the others.
To prevent everyone from gaining all four abilities, I've placed conditions on each recipe. Once you learn one version of the ability you'll no longer be able to craft the tome again. Yes, I realize that you could craft all four versions of the memoir before reading them, but there's really no way to prevent that. By the same token you could also simply use the console to grant yourself all four abilities.
Why Memoirs?
----------------------------------
Just to clear something up, I decided to add the abilities via crafted memoirs for two reasons.
1. Because the abilities aren't added at the time you complete the quest, this mod does deny experience characters their rightful reward.
2. Because I didn't monkey with any quest scripts, mod compatibility will be much higher. It shouldn't conflict with any other mods (to my knowledge) as all of the spells and abilities have unique names.
Why Multiple Memoirs?
----------------------------------
I've changed the way the mod works in order to provide an additional layer of customization. I have no way of really knowing what you think a proper reward for a quest happens to be. Now you can mix and max the size of bonuses instead of being restricted by the strengths I thought were correct.
Installation
----------------------------------
IMPORTANT: Choose only ONE version of the mod!
1. Unzip the mod into your Skyrim/Data directory.
2. Activate Milestone Memoirs.esp with your choice of mod manager.
3. Enjoy!

Version History
----------------------------------
9/17/2012 - Release 0.5
Additional bug fixes. Brawler should now require 5 brawl wins and work correctly. I've also reverted back to the spell tome versions for now. My script needs some work and there's no sense in keeping a blank book in anyone's inventory. Hopefully I'll get the readable versions right in the next version.
I've also ditched the quills in this version, as they were a pointless step in the process. In the future I want to create a power that will grant a hidden perk to determine the strength of the memoir you craft. I need help on that, though, so it's for a future version.
9/17/2012 - Release 0.4
Quick bugfix. I'm an idiot and forgot to include a recipe for the quills! Sorry!
9/17/2012 - Release 0.3

9/09/2012 - Release 0.2 - Corrected a few small display bugs in the main file. Modified brawler requirements, as tracking multiple brawl wins isn't currently possible. Added three additional versions of the mod with lesser and greater effects.
