Description:
========

Most Birthsigns in Vanilla Morrowind are boring and unimpactful. I have been using Alaisiagae's Birthsigns Are More Fun mod for years, but I think it adds a little bit too much power to characters. I tuned some of the power back and changed some abilities to allow for new playstyles. This is my first mod, so if you find something overpowered or underpowered, or not functioning, let me know.
