About this mod
A total remake of my previous race mod with bug fixes, integration of new mechanics and increased compatibility with modern Gameplay mods.

As in the previous version, the mod changes vanilla (and similar) races, adding individuality to each of them. Here are the past changes:
- All original skills have been reduced to 5 like Oblivion and Morrowind.
- - Elemental resistance has been reduced to 25% for all races, but the player's maximum resistance has been increased from 85 to 100%.
- All races now have one distinctive skill and two supporting ones. The other three are minor as in the original.
- Starting characteristics, their speed of regeneration and carried weight are now individual for each individual race.
- Child races now also have all parenting abilities, and children themselves are now mortal.
- Many races that have some relation to the original game ones also receive abilities added by the mod.
- Bare-handed damage and distance have been changed to be more realistic.
- All vampire races acquire immunity to the paralysis that they had in previous games in the series.
- All vampires acquire claws and fight like beast races. Claw models and the idea itself are taken from the Vampires Fight With Claws mod.
Here are the changes in the new version:
- Fixed a bug with the addition of the Ancestor's Wrath shout for Dunmer NPCs, which led to game crashes.
- Ancestor's Wrath ability now has the effect of reflecting physical and magical damage, and also consumes not only Magicka, but also Stamina. But as long as the player or Dunmer NPC has Magicka or Stamina left, the effect will remain.
- Reduced the Dunmer and Bosmer's ability to deal increased damage with Destruction and Archery spells from 50% to 25% respectively, as some complained that the value was too high.
- Changed secondary skills for some races. So, for example, for the Argonians, Alchemy now becomes an important skill and Restoration is among the secondary ones for better roleplaying of the Poisonous Mage, or adding the Lockpicking Skill for the Khajiit to the number of important ones, which can turn into a Hand to Hand skill if you play with the appropriate mod.
- Now all vampire races, in addition to claws and the corresponding impact effects, also receive a +5 point bonus to damage dealt while unarmed.
- Added a Keyword to define the Beastmaster ability, like the command spell from the Mysticism mod. The mod itself is not needed for this.
- Other minor improvements and fixes.
