~~~ 1. Introduction to this plugin ~~~

This plugin is an additive expansion to the races and star-signs
of Morrowind. No racial powers or abilities have been removed
(though a couple existing abilities are buffed.) Almost entirely,
this mod just adds *new* racial passive abilities to each race of
Morrowind that highlight their strengths in lore.

Further, this plugin adds one or two new significant powers to every
star-sign, giving many a much-needed buff and making star-sign choice
a more significant part of your roleplay experience.

Hence I call this 'VanillaPlus' - this project does not remove or
significantly alter vanilla abilities, powers, or skills,
it only adds neat new extras (and buffs in a couple places.)

~~~ 2. Installing this plugin ~~~

Either install this .esp plugin manually to your Morrowind/Data Files
folder and activate the mod in your Morrowind launcher,
or install with your mod manager of choice and all that.
I'm sure you know what to do.

~~~ 4. Playing this plugin ~~~

This plugin will have best results with starting a new game. It may
or may not work just fine with existing save games.

This plugin may or may not be compatible with other mods that affect
racial abilities, powers, balance, and character progression.
This mod was intended to be used as part of a 'mostly vanilla'
gameplay experience.

While this mod should be compatible with OpenMW, I *highly*
recommend using this mod in the vanilla engine in conjunction
with Morrowind Code Patch, with the option [mod specific >
NPC AI casts zero cost powers] enabled, as well as a mod like
MWSE-Lua NPC Birthsigns: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/50337
Which lets NPCs use the new birthsign powers as well. This may
make the game much more challenging for unprepared players.

You can tell if this plugin is activated by seeing if the new
abilities are there. :)

~~~ 5. Other information ~~~

This plugin was made in the vanilla TES3 Construction Set.
This plugin was then cleaned with tes3cmd and testool and
reviewed with Morrowind Enchanted Editor.
This is my first ever mod for Morrowind. :)

This plugin came about because on my most recent playthrough
of Morrowind I wanted something a bit more interesting and
challenging, and I wanted to give every race some little buffs
to spice up combat throughout the game. The first iteration of
my idea for this mod broke trainers because I buffed skills for
each race, and trainers ended up training the wrong stuff, which
was kinda funny. So I scrapped that and made this, which doesn't
buff any skills, so it doesn't break trainers, yay.

I'm sure there are other mods out there that do this concept,
overhauling the racial balance, powers and abilities and all that.
But I figured I want to make my own take on it, firstly to do it
in this 'vanilla plus' way, to only build on vanilla balance
instead of replacing it; secondly to make my game harder for myself;
and thirdly to add new fun powers and variety that match the lore
and make every race stand out at something.

This mod contains nothing but my own work. I release any ownership
or copyright of this mod, I give it to the gift economy. You can
use this mod's content and ideas freely for any purpose whatsoever
with or without credit. This mod is a gift back to the Morrowind
community. <3
