About this mod
A mod that changes all the Race’s Attributes, Skill Bonuses, Passives, Powers (Goodbye Daily Powers, hello Lesser Powers!), and Dispositions to each other!
- Permissions and credits

Welcome to H.E.R.D. I set out to change up the attributes of all the races to have larger chasms between their strengths and weaknesses so that it actually feels significant!
Okay first off my philosophy! When I choose to pick a race, I want to feel like that race, be it
quick, powerful, versatile, or stuck up, I tried my best to make that
resonate with the stats and abilities I chose.
Greater Powers are also changed to be something actually useable rather than forgettable, they are now instead Lesser Powers with a heavy price of damaging an attribute, so it's fine to use once or twice but be prepared to pray at an altar or bring restoration potions with you if you plan on using them often!
Love the mod?, found some inconsistencies?, or have suggestions? don’t hesitate to drop a comment!
PS: REQUIRES NEW GAME FOR NEW SKILLS/STATS TO APPLY
- However you can use the power "Get Racials" on existing saves to get the new racials and passives while deleting the old ones.

UPDATE 1.1.1
- Fixed Imperial Powers causing unintended hostility (Why was this so difficult)
- Removed Dunmer Ancestor Guardian changes for better compatibility
UPDATE 1.1.0
- Seperated Imperial Power into two powers so they work for their intended use
- Added Voice Of The Saint power to Imperial
- Fixed Nord having wrong Attributes on backgrounds
- Changed Dispositions in both versions for everyone (I misunderstood their interactions before)
UPDATE 1.0.2 (Hotfix)
- Fixed some NPCs not having voices when talked to (I think)
UPDATE 1.0.1
- Added a power upon mod installation called "Get Racials"
- This power gives you your racials based on Race and deletes your old ones and then deletes itself
- This allows you to use the new racials on existing saves
- Please note that attributes are not adjusted this way and that still requires new game

DETERMINING AN AVERAGE
Things always are compared to an average but who is exactly average in The Elder Scrolls? Well our poor sacrificial lamb shall be Nibenay Imperials, the stock “Human” that everyone will be compared to!
GREATER POWERS SUCK
I hate greater powers, can I say it again? I hate greater powers, I really do, how the heck am I supposed to remember that I even have it, and lets say I do remember I have it chances are I probably used it earlier!
Instead I decided to make everything a lesser power with a cost, a cost of damaging an attribute to reflect the strain put on the body using such a powerful ability!
LESS BORING RACIALS
I wanted to make racials feel interesting and different for each race, there were a few that were the same like both Bretons and Nords get Shield, both Bretons and Altmer get Bonus Magicka, this gets changed with racials that are either for Utility, Preparation, or Combat that fits in with the races primary cultures!
WHAT IS WILLPOWER ANYWAY?
You may have noticed that Bretons got their Willpower sliced while Dunmer got it heavily boosted! Well this is because I feel willpower is a person's strength of will, and to me that is determined by how fiercely autonomous and resilient they are to struggles, be it emotional or environmental and I changed up the Attributes accordingly!
DISCRIMINATION AND FAVORITISM
In a game with so many colorful races we have lots of discrimination and favoritism going on. I made these more impactful, Orcs and Dunmer are harder to get along with, Altmer look down on everyone while Imperials and Bretons treat everyone equally with some favoritism.
OPTIONAL VERSION - FAVORITISM
Don't want discrimination in your fantasy game? NOT TO WORRY! I made a separate version that just contains favoritism!
