Description

This mod changes how the player character levels, removing the need for efficient leveling and making character development more diverse. Either pick an experience based leveling system (like Oblivion XP), or a skill usage leveling system (like Realistic Leveling). The experience based leveling system allows the player character to level by gaining experience, which is done by performing actions like killing enemies, completing quests and discovering new locations. The skill usage leveling system allows the player character to level by using skills, much like vanilla, but includes an optional skill cap to encourage character diversity.

A leveling system is a combination of choices, which are configurable in the ini file, split into the following 7 categories:

• Leveling;
• Skills;
• Attributes;
• Luck;
• Health;
• Magicka;
• Sleeping.

See chapter 2 of the pdf readme for an overview of the available leveling systems and chapter 3 to 9 for more information concerning the available options for each category.

Additionally, powerscrolls have been added to increase attribute caps and profession books to change the player character's class. Please read the included pdf readme file for further details.

Compatibility and requirements

This mod requires OBSE (version 21 or higher) and MenuQue to function properly. Currently DarNified UI, DarkUI'd DarN, NorthernUI, Dark Transparent UI and Major Jim's UI are automatically supported. Any other UIs, like BTmod, will use the new vanilla UI menus.

Do not use this mod with other character leveling and/or uncapper mods. It can however be used with existing savegames. Also, load order is not important.

For anyone using HUD Status Bars, Real Time Lockpicking, Alchemy Advanced (Adjustments), Pickpocket Skill Overhaul, or Fundament Enchanting Addons have a look at chapter 13 of the pdf readme for information concerning compatibility.
