Description
____________
From the Original readme:
Succinctly, this mod adds more special abilities, once-a-day-powers, and starting equipment to your character, depending on your stated choice of character class. This is intended to simulate training, talents, or skills that your character might have developed before incarceration independent of Morrowind's skillsets.

My edits:
- nerfed the enchanted bow for the archer profession (constant fortify marksman 15 to 10)
- nerfed the Bladsinger: Manifest Blade is now a power.
- The dialogue to choose your profession is now availalbe from any guard (as opposed to Sellus Gravius in Seyda Neen) to make the mod compatible with various chargen mods
- The topic (professions and abilities) are available from the start and don't need to be added via console, even when not starting a new game or when not starting in Seyda Neen.
- dialogue and journal entries tweaked to reflect the changes.
