Oblivion's birthsigns were fairly underwhelming to me. I barely ever thought about my decision for more than a moment, and never in terms of my character's class; I knew that some were okay, some were bad, and some were not to be used ever. So I changed that.

This mod alters the birthsigns using preexisting spell effects. Each sign has a passive and at least one power, greater or lesser. The changes still follow the original birthsigns closely, so each new power or passive should fall in line with how its sign originally worked.
