1 Vanilla Birthsigns for OpenMW by Klorax
═════════════════════════════════════════

/Vanilla Birthsigns for OpenMW by Klorax/ changes the behavior of the
attribute enhancing birthsigns (the Lady, the Lover, and the Steed) to
match that of original Morrowind.

This is accomplished by replacing the constant magic effect with base
attributes upon finishing character generation (i.e., when leaving the
census office building). When this happens the player is
notified. Thus you need to start a new game to use this addon.

In original Morrowind these constant magic effects for attributes are
treated as base attributes. This is inconsistent to any other
constant magic effect (i.e., spell or enchant) for attributes. OpenMW
removes this inconsistency, which is good IMHO, but this makes the
original birthsigns behave differently (mostly less powerful), and
this addon aims to fix this.

This means that the provided endurance will now count for level up
health. All relevant attributes (agility, endurance, personality, and
speed) will now count towards skill level caps for governed skills.
The attribute base values (through leveling) will not be able to get
past 100.

3 Technical Details
═══════════════════

This addon just adds one global script, one start script, and one
global variable. Thus no birthsign, race, the character generation,
or anything else has been modified, that could cause incompatibilities
with other addons.

The term "addon" is used as a synonym to "mod" and "plugin".

repository (following the prefix convention below).


5.1 Prefix Convention
─────────────────────

The prefix is used in the *Issue* header: `PREFIX: Short message', and
the *Commit* message: `PREFIX [#ISSUE]: Short message'. They are
symmetric to ease the workflow between *Issues*, *Commits*, and *Pull
Requests*.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most of them should be self explanatory but here are some
clarifications:

• `Edit' is used for minor edits (e.g., rename, move, typo fix).
• `Enhancement' is used for larger edits (e.g., adding helper methods,
not enough to warrant a feature).
• `Skeleton' is for [skeleton] files which are just empty outlines of
a Class to get the ball rolling.
