About this mod

A complete overhaul of the playable races that puts npcs and the player on an even playing field. Npc's will use the same powers as you!

This mod takes all of my favorite parts from the various race mods that I've used over the years and combines them together with a few ideas of my own to create a more unique experience based on race.

Changelogs

Version 2.4.0a
- This update fixes a couple of small issues that were introduced in the previous update.
  
  (General Changes)
  
  - In the previous patch I added a lot more conditions to most of the magic effects in this mod, which made abilities much more selective on who they would and wouldn't function on. The problem is that several of the npcs in this mod shared a few generic abilities such as charging forward or teleporting, when I changed the conditions on those abilities, I ended up breaking them for a couple of races. This patch fixes those issues and also adds in a few more conditions to magic effects that I missed last time.
  
  (Dark Elf Changes)
  
  - Athis will no longer summon anything or use active abilities during the brawl between himself and Njada in Jorrvaskr.
Version 2.4.0
- This update was mostly just bug fixes and other small tweaks. Many of the changes will likely require a new game before they take effect. My test save worked fine when I updated to the new version. skyrim is a strange beast and has a lot of moving parts that don't always fit together though, so you may experience some problems if you choose to not start a new game. I also plan on releasing a few more patches over the next several days.
  
  (General Changes)
  
  - The reliance on "Saints and Seducers" as a master file has been removed and a compatibility patch has been created in its place. If you don't plan on starting a new game then I would highly recommend using the patch so that everything remains the same, otherwise strange things may happen. Eventually I may also create an all-in-one anniversary edition patch as well, which would allow me to take more advantage of the new things added by it.
  
  - "PowerOfThree's Tweaks" and "Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID)" are now required files on PC. This will remove the janky quirks of certain abilities and allow for other effects to work as intended without me having to waste extra cpu processing power on scripts for workarounds. The switch isn't 100% complete yet, so at the moment the full potential of PowerOfThree's mods aren't being utilized.
  
  - During the previous update, when I was adding more conditions to skills to prevent them from affecting certain npc's, I ended up forgetting to set up quite a few of them. So I went back and rectified that issue. Special thanks to HellLizard for helping set up a lot of the conditions for me, which cut down a chunk of the work required.
  
  - I added the option to toggle the movement speed fix on or off. Now if you have another mod that features a more effective version of this type of fix in the form of a dll such as "Blade And Blunt" then you can use that instead without any extra work.
  
  - Conditions were added to several skills with knockbacks to prevent them from going off during kill cams.
  
  - Various abilities for several races were mistakenly set to hidden and will now show up in the active magic effect list.
  
  - The conditions which scale the stats of summoned creatures were set up incorrectly, which was causing them to have much higher stats than they should have had. The issue has been fixed so you shouldn't be getting mauled anymore by a netch on steroids. Their stats and spells were also redone.
  
  - Abilities which create field hazards such as gravity well or saint's ward can now be dispelled by killing the npc who originally casted the ability in the first place.
  
  (Argonian Changes)
  
  - "Histskin" had the regeneration portion of its effect raised to 600% up from 500%.
  
  - The swim speed portion of the "amphibious" skill was broken and has been fixed.
  
  - "Toxic Hist Bile" now reduces all damage dealt by 20%. The affected npc in question needs a specific perk for their magic damage to be reduced so this part of the effect most likely won't function for 99% of the npcs on xbox. It will function on pc thanks to the new Spell Perk Item distributor requirement.
  
  - The way that "Toxic Hist Bile" delivers its debuff was changed a bit to prevent any strange interactions. The debuff and damage portion are now delivered separately, this is also the same way that "Venom Strike" has functioned for quite some time.
  
  - In-game descriptions for "Venom strike" and "Deadly Venom" were added to the player's active magic effect list.
  
  - The way that "Caustic Breath" was distributed to black tongue argonian npcs during combat was previously set up incorrectly. It turns out that a few of my conditions were backwards which caused the ability to not scale properly. Everything is fixed now though and argonians should deal more damage based on their level up until they hit 40.
  
  - The way that "Toxic Hist Bile" functions for npcs was changed a bit under the hood, this change will make the damage of the spell scale based on the level of the npc who uses it and should also slightly increase cpu performance outside of combat. Previously the spell scaled off of the player's level and had quite a few conditions running at all times. The caveat here is that I have no idea how this will affect argonians in already existing saves, so if your argonian npc's start doing strange things then I apologize. I should have done this a long time ago when I created the black tongue argonian npcs but it slipped my mind.
  
  (Dark Elf Changes)
  
  - I fixed an issue where hlaalu npc's teleport skill wasn't working properly.
  
  - The description of the telvanni ability "Gravity well' has been fixed.
  
  - The requirements for tempering certain heirloom weapons was a bit too punishing or too easy at the start of the game depending on which house you chose. To rectify this issue, the requirements for tempering each weapon now changes after you upgrade it. The new order is Iron > orichalcum > moonstone > malachite > ebony.
  
  - An override was created for the sword/whip weapon "dread" for when the mod "precision" is in use. This will allow the weapon to retain its long reach when the mod is present in your load order.
  
  - The movement of the guar mount was changed a bit. Now when you use the left or right movement keys, the guar shouldn't get stuck running in circles anymore.
  
  - The sprinting ability of the guar mount had a condition attached to it that was preventing it from being activated which has been removed. The guar will now speed up and stagger nearby npcs after running foward for a bit as was originally intended.
  
  (Imperial Changes)
  
  - The nibenese imperial ability "hostile acquisition" will now reduce spell damage from nearby npcs when it steals their stats thanks to Spell Perk Item distributor (SPID).
  
  (Khajiit Changes)
  
  - On PC "Pounce" now functions as originally intended and can no longer clip through objects thanks to PowerOfThree's Tweaks. The PC version of the jump now scales off of your base jump settings which by default is 76 and multiplies that by 364% - 430% depending on whether or not you were sprinting.
  
  On Xbox the jump works the same as before but the jump height was raised slightly to match the new amount on pc.
  
  - Khajiit Acrobat mages can now make use of their spell damage bonus thanks to Spell Perk Item distributor (SPID).
  
  (Nord Changes)
  
  - Nord mage npcs can now make use of their spell power bonus thanks to thanks to Spell Perk Item distributor (SPID).
  
  (Orc Changes)
  
  - Standard Orc mage npcs can now make use of their spell power bonus thanks to Spell Perk Item distributor (SPID).
  
  (Redguard Changes)
  
  - "Saints Ward" no longer reduces attack speed and movement speed. The ability was intended to be an anti magic zone that deals damage to undead, reducing attack speed and slowing enemies is bloat.
  
  The ward amount per tick was raised from 50 to 80.
  
  The percent damage amount was reduced from 25% - 50% down to 20% - 40% to be more in line with similar skills. The percent damage now deals 20% damage to any hostile who enters the barrier or 40% if they're undead. Previously there was also an issue in the code that prevented the player and specific npcs from being affected by the percent damage portion of the ability which has been fixed.
  
  - Ash'abah redguard mage npcs can now make use of their spell power bonus against undead thanks to Spell Perk Item distributor (SPID).
  
  - Fixed a mistake where ash'abah players were getting 10% damage reduction instead of 5% like their npc counterparts.
  
  (Snow Elf Changes)
  
  - Snow elf npcs had a condition with the wrong setting attached to it which was preventing them from using a couple of their abilities properly. This has been fixed any now everything is working as intended.
  
  (Wood Elf Changes)
  
  - Acquiring "Voice of the sky" should no longer cause "Loved By Nature" to stop functioning.
  
  - Tamed pets should no longer affect your stealth meter. This will probably only work on newly tamed pets, pets tamed before this update will likely need to be released and tamed once again to get this working.
Version 2.3.0c
- - Refer to version 2.3.0 in the change log to see the majority of the fixes and new stuff.
  
  (General Changes)
  
  - As I was getting the 360 version ready to upload, I realized that I had forgotten to optimize some of the textures for the pc version of this mod for gameplay. To get an idea of how bad this screw up was, the new hlaalu dagger now takes up about 82% less memory and looks pretty much the same, 4k textures are no joke and should never be wasted on a tiny dagger.
  
  - During one of the previous updates, the levitation spells/scrolls were accidentally set to use the Xbox version of their magic effect. They have now been corrected to use the pc version, which will take advantage of skse if it's present. Other than the skse thing, they're about the same.
Version 2.3.0b
- I'm going to take a break from working on mods for the holidays. Unless another bug pops up, I'll be taking it easy and doing my first actual playthrough since about a year or two ago. Skyrim Extended Cut - Saints and Seducers and a lot of the new combat mods look awesome. Happy holidays everyone!
  
  (General Changes)
  
  - I added advanced avoidance to the races that were missing it, which brings parity to all races in that regard.
  
  (Dark Elf Changes)
  
  - I removed several stat regeneration magic effects from a few of the player's house/tribe options that I missed quite some time ago. These were leftovers from before I started using scripts to edit stats and should have been removed about a year ago.
  
  (Khajiit Changes)
  
  - The scripts on the acrobat ability "pounce" have been improved a bit and the dust landing FX will now trigger whenever you land. Previously the FX would only trigger during combat.
  
  - "Feline sense of smell" is now activated by default for monks.
Version 2.3.0a
- - I removed some navmesh data that the creation kit snuck into the mod which shouldn't be there.
  
  - Refer to version 2.3.0 in the change log to see all the new stuff.
Version 2.3.0
- (General Changes)
  
  - A lot of small changes and improvements were made to various magic effects and starting items, some of these changes may require a new game before they take effect.
  
  - There were some edits made by mistake to the poison and fury rune magic effects in a previous update that created some conflicts with a few other mods. The records have been removed from the mod, thus eliminating potential conflicts.
  
  - Abilities which reduce incoming magic damage such as spell eater, undying fury, and meditate should no longer reduce the effectiveness of potions or enchanted gear equipped to the player while active.
  
  - Crafting recipes were added for the three generic weapons added by this mod. To unlock them you need to gain the smithing perk that matches the weapon.
  
  - All items added by this mod can now be tempered at the proper crafting stations.
  
  - A few people have claimed to run into an issue where either they or their followers have somehow acquired copies of passive abilities from nearby npc's. I have no idea how or why this is happening and I can't recreate the bug naturally through gameplay. In an effort to fix it, I've added an option to remove the extra abilities from yourself and nearby npc's.
  
  I have also added more conditions to magic effects to hopefully prevent this from happening in the future. This option can be found in the "palladium racials options" ability in your powers menu.
  
  Affected npc's have to be completely reset, this will randomly choose another starting option for them and remove any previous abilities granted by this mod. Specific named npc's and members of certain factions are locked to certain options and will remain the same regardless of reset. For example, Neloth is explicitly mentioned in-game as a member of house telvanni and will remain that way no matter what you do.
  
  - Prior to this update, several options for argonian, dark elf, high elf, nord, redguard, and wood elf npcs had incorrect/missing stats and/or resistances. I have fixed the problem, but you will need to either start a new game or make use of the new reset feature to fix already existing npcs.
  
  - I fixed a missing mesh reference which was renamed to something else at some point during development.
  
  (Argonian Changes)
  
  - I've updated the "histskin" description to better reflect what it actually does. The ability increases your chosen regeneration stat by 500% and the potency of potions by 40%, it also cleanses poison and disease. Previously it mentioned gaining new abilities when you reached 50 and 100 alchemy, that plan was scrapped during the development of 2.0 in favor of just giving you the full ability at the start. When you're working on several hundred things all at once, your mind tends to forget some stuff.
  
  (Dark Elf Changes)
  
  - NPC's will stop making annoying comments about dangerous magic when playing a dres dunmer.
  
  - I fixed a couple issues and made some tweaks on the dres heirloom weapon. It was missing its enchantment charge stat and it had an incorrect texture path which made the hilt of the weapon far too shiny.
  
  The duration of the damage and crowd control effects were tweaked to last 5 seconds total and the damage was changed to deal roughly 30% more damage at max rank than similar upfront damage enchantments such as frost over its full duration.
  
  Previously the crowd control portion scaled from 3 to 5 seconds as the weapon was upgraded and the damage portion lasted 8 seconds. The root chance was lowered back down to the original 10%, which I seem to have forgotten to change during my last testing.
  
  - The stamina regeneration portion of the redoran ability "tactical maneuvers" was changed to increase base stamina regeneration instead of multiplying it.
  
  - I removed an unneeded script from the player version of the redoran ability "tactical maneuvers" and replaced it with a perk, this should slightly increase game performance.
  
  - Arachnophobes rejoice! Indoril players can now toggle "edict of mephala" on and off. If you already have a save with an indoril character then you'll need to activate the skill twice to turn it off, after that you won't need to do it again and the skill will work correctly. If you're starting a new game then you won't need to worry about any of this.
  
  - Exploding indoril spiders were reworked and shouldn't directly damage their summoner or nearby friendly targets anymore when they blow up. Their scripts were also completely redone, so they function a bit differently now as well.
  
  - All Indoril spider summons have had their stats and scaling redone.
  
  - I fixed an issue where enemy indoril npcs "edict of azura" ability was dealing far too much damage at low levels and often killed the player in a single shot.
  
  - I fixed an issue where the chance for a dark elf to have Indoril abilities had been set too high by mistake. Before it was fixed, this resulted in anything after indoril on the list of houses not being an option to be selected at random as a result.
  
  - The color of the targeting ring used by the indoril ability "edict of azura" was changed from red to purple to match the color of the orbital laser.
  
  - The telvanni ancestor will now use flame cloak.
  
  - Sound was added to the player version of the erabenimsun ability "challenging shout". Seems silly that I forgot to give sound to an ability with the word "shout" in it, but it happened.
  
  - I've reduced the particle count on the erabenimsun ability "warmonger" to 1/10th of what it was. Now instead of being blinded by the visage of a god when you look at them, you can actually see what your enemy is doing. The initial particle count is remaining the same so as to get your attention in the first place, but it will quickly die down to a reasonable amount.
  
  - The urshilaku ancestor's "cyclone" shout and "blizzard" spell should no longer affect friendly targets.
  
  - I added the "palladium racials options" ability to the urshilaku option for dark elves since it was missing.
  
  - I removed some incorrect info from the description of the zainab ability "self sufficient". Previously it mentioned a chance to gain extra ore when mining. This was a planned feature that didn't make the cut due to the amount of conflicts it would have caused if implemented. However, a similar ability to generate extra ore exists within the heirloom pickaxe that the zainab receives at character creation.
  
  - The remaining hierloom items have been added to their respective character creation options, you'll need to start a new game or use the console to acquire them. Indoril and telvanni players already started with an incomplete version of their heirloom in the form of their robes, so they don't need to do anything special to get them.
  
  Before anyone asks, here are the codes for the new heirloom items. Have fun.
  
  Redoran (Redfall): xxCEC402
  
  Hlaalu (Creeping Death): xxD19D32
  
  Erabenimsun (Shalk's Flame): xxD47682
  
  Urshilaku (Fangs of the Urshilaku): xxCC3B9D
  
  - I've created a partial solution for an annoying issue with heirloom weapons. When a weapon auto upgrades itself, it's supposed to give you an ability which will start the next upgrade when you reach the level threshold. However, due to an engine bug that isn't happening and in general you need to re-equip the item to fix it.
  I've given the weapon enchant a script that will fix the problem without the need to re-equip your item. To activate the fix, you just need to attack something while you have enchantment charges. Armor and jewelry doesn't have the bug and should auto upgrade without any issues.
  
  - I added unique art to the magic effect for each dunmer tribe's description, it depicts their faction flags.
  
  (High elf changes)
  
  - New altmer characters will now start the game with 3 random skill books.
  
  - I fixed a few incorrect/missing attack keywords in the race data. The in-game effect that this will have is that for snow elves their winter's sting ability should proc on a couple of attacks that it wouldn't have previously and a spell proc or two may have swapped to the opposite mouse button.
  
  (Imperial Changes)
  
  - The ability "meditate" from the akaviri descendant was previously set up incorrectly and didn't work as described which made it unusable in most situations. The ability has been redone to increase your base regeneration stats by 50% and reduce incoming damage by 10%. The activation time was also lowered to 3 seconds down from 4.
  
  Previously the ability multiplied your regeneration stats and reduced incoming damage by 33%. These new changes will allow the ability to scale better into the late game if you stack regeneration enchantment effects or have high stats. It also places the akaviri option at the very top in terms of passive regeneration when compared to the other race options as long as you stay still. The damage mitigation portion was lowered to be more in line with other passive defense skills from the other races.
  
  - The akaviri descendant was given a new ability to toggle the art effects from meditate on and off. The visuals are also now only active during combat.
  
  - The starting katana for the akaviri descendant has been changed into a similar looking two handed sword to match up with their major skill.
  
  - I fixed an issue where enemy colovian imperials were buffing the player instead of their allies when in balanced formation.
  
  - The nibenese ability "hostile acquisition" is now only active during combat. This change will give slightly better game performance in areas that have large amounts of npcs in them such as cities.
  
  (Khajiit Changes)
  
  - Khajiit acrobats now start with "feline sense of smell" and "pounce" active by default.
  
  - The "pounce" ability no longer functions when sneaking.
  
  - Khajiit acrobat npcs now have access to the khajiit monk's damage reduction ability "cat quick"
  
  - Khajiit monks will now begin the game with 3 moon sugars instead of 1.
  
  - I fixed a few incorrect/missing attack keywords in the race data. The in-game effect that this will have is that for monks their goutfang ability should proc on a couple of attacks that it wouldn't have previously and a spell proc attack or two may have swapped to the opposite mouse button.
  
  (Orc Changes)
  
  - The player version of the wood orc ability "charge" had two scripts mistakenly attached to it that did the same thing. I have removed the second script, which should give the game slightly better performance when the skill is used.
Version 2.2.3
- (General Changes)
  
  - The general settings menu had some typos removed and the text was also cleaned up a bit.
  
  (High Elf Changes)
  
  - Fixed an issue where high elves becoming a vampire would cause a crash.
  
  - Tweaked the default snow elf skin tone options for the high elf to be less ghoulish looking.
Version 2.2.2
- (Dark Elf Changes)
  
  - A new scroll called "scroll of magnetic grip" has been added to the list of scrolls that the urshilaku dark elf can acquire. The scroll pulls npcs to the player when used and is replacing the telekinesis scroll because it didn't function at all. If you already have a telekinesis scroll in your inventory it will be replaced with the new scroll. The scroll can also be looted off enemies.
  
  - The explosion ability from indoril npcs had the knockback force toned down when indoors, this was done in an attempt to prevent npcs from sometimes being thrown through walls.
  
  (Imperial Changes)
  
  - The prompt from the nibenese imperial's incitement ability will no longer show up when activating objects, only npcs.
Version 2.2.1
- (General Changes)
  
  - Some of the summoned creatures in this mod aren't classified by the game as actual summons, they're just regular npcs who have been spawned in. Due to this little quirk, their AI functions a bit differently than what would normally be expected of a summoned creature and sometimes they attack or get attacked by the wrong npc. I've made several changes to the AI of the npcs in question and they also inherit the factions of the summoner now, which should fix most of the issues.
  
  - Outdated info was removed from the manual
  
  (Wood Elf Changes)
  
  - The command beast description was updated to better match the manual's description.
  
  - New skill descriptions were added to the active magic effects list to better explain how the prompts of command beast and bestial wrath function.
Version 2.2.0
- I wanted to give a special thanks to DaddyMcHugeNuts on the Gamer's Paradise discord for writing a script that helped me find and correct some meshes which had visible editor markers which should have been invisible.
  
  (General Changes)
  
  - I Changed the way things work so that you don't need to start a new game if all you had was the vanilla race ability data in your save, this mod will now remove and replace those abilities. Other race overhauls which add new abilities such as Imperious would still require a new game. There is an exception for overhauls which still use the original spells and merely add new magic effects to them such as Morning Star, those types of mods should have their abilities safely removed and replaced.
  
  - During the last xbox update I made a mistake and created a levitation magic effect specific to the xbox version which should have been created for the pc version and then carried over to xbox. I have since created a new magic effect in the pc version which will fix the issue going forward, but the damage is already done.
  If you're playing on xbox and use a levitation scroll then you may or may not experience a crash since the scroll is possibly referencing a magic effect that no longer exists. I don't have a copy or access to the the xbox esp anymore which was uploaded previously so I can't provide a fix such as changing the ID of the magic effect. However, it is also possible that this is just me worrying over nothing, and your game is fine.
  
  - Apparently the alchemy xp formula needs at least 1 skill point to function properly so the starting skill amount was raised from 0 to 1. This change will only take place in new games. If you were having an issue with alchemy potions not giving xp in your current save then you need to go to an alchemy trainer to fix the issue.
  
  - New descriptions for each race's xp bonuses were added to the active magic effects list.
  
  - I attempted to fix a problem where knockbacks attached to certain racial powers would happen during a killcam and it would cause the camera to get stuck. Let me know if you encounter this issue.
  
  - I removed the overwrite on the quick shot perk.
  
  - The manual and a few in-game descriptions were updated to remove some typos and outdated info.
  
  (Argonian Changes)
  
  - Argonian npcs will no longer use their poison spit attack while mounted or when inside of jorrvaskr.
  
  (Dark Elf Changes)
  
  - Guars had their magic resistance scaling reduced by 50%. Their maximum magic resistance is now 10%, down from 20%. Guar npcs summoned by dunmer npcs had their stats fixed, previously they were set up incorrectly.
  
  - The clone from the hlaalu ability "exploding decoy" will now come equipped with a different armor set, weapon set, spells, and a different combat style based on your level and which types of weapon or spells you had equipped when you used the ability. It isn't a perfect solution but it's an improvement over being stuck with a weak npc in a set of iron gear for the entire game.
  
  - The indoril ability "edict of boethiah" had its duration reduced from 20 seconds down to 10 seconds to match the wood orc ability "raider" which functions the same. The regeneration effect was doubled and the spell potency bonus will now stack each time you kill something, previously it only gave a single instance of the spell potency portion of the buff.
  
  - Heirloom weapons can no longer be enchanted or disenchanted.
  
  (Imperial Changes)
  
  - An seq file was added to make the nibenese imperial's "silver tongue" ability function properly more often.
  
  (Nord Changes)
  
  - I fixed an issue where nord npcs were missing their frost resistance ability. This change may or may not take effect on npcs which have already been generated by the game.
Version 2.1.0
- - Changed the names of several incorrectly named scrolls which were generated by the urshilaku passive "esoteric obsession".
  
  - Fixed an issue where the frozen effect on the snow elf ability "Ice age" was ending prematurely and sometimes affected the player and allies instead of enemies.
  
  - Fixed an issue where rallying cry wasn't affecting the caster.
  
  - Fixed an issue where the breton skill "spell eater" wasn't working 100% like it should.
  
  - Made it so that script based damage effects from this mod no longer affect nords during undying fury.
  
  - Fixed an issue where the blacktongue argonian's power attack poison ability wasn't working properly.
  
  - Fixed several typos.
  
  - Added in the auto activation feature for the following abilities which I initially forgot to add: Ancestor's Wrath, Corrosive Armor, Ice Age, Rallying Cry, Ring of Fire, Saint's Ward, and Shadowborn.
  
  - Changed the file format of several textures to the correct format which will cut down on wasted hard drive space and in-game memory.
  
  - Removed some outdated information from the manual which was from an earlier stage of development and is no longer relevant.
Version 2.0.1
- - Fixed a description issue with the snow elf ability "winter's sting". It had an outdated description from an early stage of development which had very little to do with the ability in its current form.
  
  - The cooldown on the urshilaku ability "esoteric obsession" was lowered to 5 minutes, down from 10 minutes.
Version 2.0.0
- I wanted to give a special thanks to the people in the skyrim modding hub for helping me out whenever I had the occasional question, you guys are awesome.
  
  (General Changes)
  
  - Tons of things were re-balanced, shiny new art assets were added, and many of the suggestions that I received over the year were implemented. Because of all these changes, a new game is required.
  
  - A new plugin was included with the main file. This plugin hosts a number of keywords and magic effects within it which will be used to ensure compatibility between my mods in the future, eliminating the need for a million patches.
  
  - Saints and seducers was added as a master file. Bethesda gave it out to everyone for free, so I decided to take advantage of it.
  
  - The attack speed fix can now be toggled on and off along with combat health regeneration for the player and npcs. When you first start the mod you'll get a prompt for your choice. It can also be reached from the powers menu.
  
  - Dunmer ancestors now use head parts from ethereal elven overhaul, which may fix the male ancestor crashing issue that some people suffer from. Seriously, report back to me if you're still crashing so I can attempt to do something about it.
  
  - Vampires were removed from the prey faction. No vampire references were actually touched so this won't conflict with anything at all. This fix was needed for a couple magic effects to function properly in the event that the player wasn't using the unofficial patch.
  
  - Movement speed adjustments for each race were redone down to two decimals for more accuracy, previously they used whole numbers. For example a speed adjustment of 1.0 might have become 1.32. The changes are pretty small so you probably won't notice them during gameplay.
  
  - Xilamonstrr was kind enough to go out of their way to inform me that .ini files do in fact work on xbox. This means that the health regeneration buffs that I created specifically for npcs on xbox were running alongside the default health regeneration native to npcs, thus making npcs a bit stronger than they should have been. To remedy this, I have removed the xbox specific health regeneration buffs from this mod since they aren't needed.
  
  - In an attempt to make the game more dynamic, several races now have a chance to use their racial power at the start of combat or when they reach one of several different health thresholds. Previously it was only 50% health for every npc.
  
  - I've added the ability to choose your lineage for most races. This decision will give you a different set of starting stats and abilities. Npcs also get access to most of the new options as well.
  
  - The starting skill bonuses for each race were removed, everyone starts at 0 now. Each race now gains a 5% or 10% experience boost to certain skills based on what their old bonuses were. Each choice has their own unique bonuses.
  
  - I've optimized various scripts to make the game run smoother and fixed several miscellaneous issues.
  
  - AOE abilities from npcs such as altmer or imperials are now more precise with who they affect. For example, high elf allies should no longer debuff the player. Things may not work 100% like they should in strictly npc vs npc battles though. The game checks whether an npc is hostile towards the player or not and activates specific versions of said ability which affect specific targets, I'm still working on a solution for npc vs npc.
  
  - Enchantment effects were given proper keywords so that I could cut out about 30+ conditions from both of the breton and high elf enchantment perks for better performance. The downside is that this will create a conflict with most enchantment overhauls. To rectify this issue, I'm working on a couple patches for the more popular overhauls.
  
  - Several new starting spells and items were added to the game. Some races start with them, some can be found by just playing the game. Most of the spells scale based on your current skill level associated with the spell in question and don't require or function with most perks.
  
  - Automatic summons such as the dark elf ancestors or wood elf npc pets are now dispelled shortly after combat ends. Previously they were simply turned inactive when outside of combat which could sometimes lead to visual bugs popping up.
  
  - Racial powers that place hazards on the field are color coded so that you can tell if they're harmful or not and were casted by a friendly npc. Blue is friendly. A red or yellowish color is hostile.
  
  - Several planned race options were put on hold due to me being too burnt out at this point to release them with the amount of quality and depth that I had originally intended. They'll be released at later dates when I have more time, energy, and enthusiasm to devote to development.
  
  (Altmer Changes)
  
  - Aetherial conduit now restores 100% magicka, stamina, and enchantment charges, up from 75%. It can also be set to auto activate with stamina instead of magicka. Lastly, the threshold at which it auto activates was lowered to 10%, down from 25%.
  
  - The amount of magicka that gates of aetherius restores per second was lowered to 3, down from 5.
  
  - Arcane affinity was lowered from a 25% spell potency bonus down to 20%.
  
  - Altmer now have a snow elf option which has a variety of frost themed abilities partly based off the snow prince. They also have several new default skin tones to help with the immersion of creating a snow elf.
  
  (Argonian Changes)
  
  - The standard argonian had their skills tweaked and swapped around. They now possess a total of 6 skills, down from 7.
  
  - Disease resistance was reduced down from 40% to 20%, poison resistance was left unchanged.
  
  - The alchemy bonus was raised up from 15% to 40% and combined with histskin, the bonus is only active when histskin is in use. Histskin also cleanses poison and diseases when used.
  
  - Toxic Hist bile recieved new artwork and was reworked a bit. Now you have to unlock the paralysis and slow effect by increasing your alchemy skill level. It also gained the ability to melt targets into a pile of green goo, it can be unlocked in the same manner as the paralysis.
  
  - The way that the power attack poison effect is applied has changed a bit. The ability now uses a small invisible cone in front of the player to apply the spell instead of using a spell which was applied through your fists. This change was needed due to more options being added to the argonian. It should also get around the issue that the complete alchemy and cooking overhaul dll file was causing when paired along with this mod.
  
  - Argonians received the option to choose to be a member of the black tongue tribe. Black tongues have offense oriented poison and stealth themed abilities.
  
  (Bosmer Changes)
  
  - Skilled marksman no longer increases bow attack damage or crit. Now the ability increases bow attack speed by 10%.
  
  - Bosmer got a new ability that makes wild animals friendly towards them.
  
  - Poison resistance was lowered to 20% down from 40%, disease resistance was left unchanged.
  
  - Tamed pets are now summoned where you aim, just like the rest of the conjuration spells.
  
  - Bosmer NPC pets now scale off the npc that summoned them instead scaling off of the player.
  
  - The current dismiss option was renamed to "release pet". A new dismiss option was created in its place to temporarily send your pet away when they are no longer needed.
  
  - The activation prompt for taming an animal and bestial wrath now requires that you have a drawn weapon or spell before it shows up. The prompt for bestial wrath will only show up for your tamed pet. The lesser powers can still be used on any npc and both skills have been changed to ranged targeted abilities.
  
  - Untalented versions of cloak, skin, and ward spells that you cast on yourself are now casted on your pet as well.
  
  - The current bosmer option has been renamed to the jaqspur.
  
  (Breton Changes)
  
  - The visual effect for dragon skin was changed to be more apparent and less subtle.
  
  - Magic resistance was lowered to 10% down from 15%.
  
  - Breton npc's now use the player version of spell eater. Previously it buffed their magic resistance and regeneration stats by 10%.
  
  - Spell eater will now only proc when hit by fire/frost/shock or custom damage spells from this mod. Previously the ability used to proc off pretty much any vague spell that hit you, diseases, non damaging spells, and so on. Now it's a bit more selective. Elemental destruction magic will soon be supported with a patch. More mods may get added down the line if requested.
  
  (Dunmer Changes)
  
  - Dunmer ancestors now differ based on your house choice and each house's abilities were changed to be vastly more unique.
  
  - Dunmer ancestor level scaling was toned down from a 1 to 1 ratio to a 1 to 0.5 ratio, their gear stats were lowered to be equivlent to iron, and their maximum level was capped at 40.
  
  - Dunmer ancestors add +1 to your maximum summon amount when spawned, meaning that you can conjure other things alongside them if you wish and one or the other won't disappear.
  
  - The house choice power no longer remains on your list of powers after your choice has been made.
  
  - Heirloom weapons were redesigned to be unique artifacts and each one has their own custom art assets. They start out weaker and automatically upgrade themselves every 10 levels up until level 40, gaining more damage and unique abilities with each upgrade. They need to be equipped for the upgrade to happen. From a dps standpoint they're about the same as any other rare enchanted weapon or artifact you might find in the game. The zainab starting pickaxe can also now be used to mine.
  
  (Imperial Changes)
  
  - Imperials have been reworked and split into akaviri descendants, colovian, and nibenese options.
  
  - Akaviri descendants are a more solo oriented option with several abilities mostly themed after dragon knights from eso, samurai tropes, and shouting.
  
  - Colovians have martial/commander themed abilities which are more useful when surrounded by allies.
  
  - Nibenese have merchant/suggestion themed abilities and are more useful when surrounded by enemies.
  
  (Khajiit Changes)
  
  - The range on feline sense of smell was increased and it no longer affects ghosts, ashspawn, and dwemer.
  
  - The way bleed effects function was changed. One bleed effect per khajiit npc can now be applied to an enemy. Previously only a single instance of the bleed could exist on a single npc at a time.
  
  - The way that the power attack bleed effect is applied has changed a bit. The ability now uses a small invisible cone in front of the player to apply the spell, instead of using a spell which was applied with your fists. This change was needed due to more options being added to the khajiit. It should also get around the issue that the complete alchemy and cooking overhaul dll file was causing when paired along with this mod.
  
  - The damage scaling on pounce was raised from 10% of your current stamina to 16.5%.
  
  - When I first created this mod I mistakenly wrote that the khajiit's bonus to stealth related actions was 10% when it should have said 5%. The typo has now been corrected in both the mod and manual. Nothing has actually changed with the in-game bonus, it was always 5%.
  
  - The bonus to stealth damage was lowered from 33% to 25%. The spell damage portion of this ability wasn't working properly and has been fixed.
  
  - Khajiit now have the option to be a monk. The monk's abilities were based on khajiit monks from the elder scrolls online, elder scrolls legends, and elder scrolls shadow key games. The standard khajiit option has been renamed to the acrobat.
  
  (Nord Changes)
  
  - Undying fury now restores up to 50% of your maximum health when the effect ends. The amount restored is based on how low your health was when you used it.
  
  - The berserker soul description now updates itself based on how much health you currently possess and shows how much damage you've gained. The maximum damage bonus was also lowered from 30% to 20%.
  
  - The standard nord option has been renamed to mainland nord.
  
  (Orc Changes)
  
  - Standard orcs gained a new ability called onslaught. Berserker rage now grants stacks each time it activates, once you reach 3 stacks you can use onslaught. Onslaught unleashes a shockwave that deals 75% of your maximum stamina or magicka as physical damage by using a power attack, bashing, or dual casting a spell. When you have 3 stacks you will be surrounded with a glowing circle which will indicate that the ability is ready. Stacks persist through combat for an hour.
  
  - Berserker rage for npcs now works the same as it does for the player. Previously it activated when the npc reached a certain health threshold. Now it's a random chance when the orc gets hit, with an internal cooldown applied between hits.
  
  - The damage bonuses of berserker rage were reduced from 30% to 20%. The remaining effects were reduced from 15% to 10%.
  
  - I fixed an issue where were pariah folk wasn't excluding imperials from the bartering penalty.
  
  - Orcs now have the option to be a wood orc. Wood orcs have several abilities based around agility.
  
  (Redguard Changes)
  
  - The amount of stamina restored by stamina reserves was lowered from 5 down to 3.
  
  - Martial prowess had its crit bonus removed.
  
  - The attack and movement speed buffs on adrenaline rush were lowered from 50% to 40% and the stamina regeneration buff was lowered from 30 to 20.
  
  - Inner focus was removed from the player and replaced with a new skill called flow state, npc's still use inner focus. Flow state doubles the effect of martial prowess and slows down time for 10 seconds after sprinting for 2 seconds during combat.
  
  - Redguards now have the option to be an ash'abah. Ash'abah redguards have abilities based around hunting undead.
  
  - The standard martial themed redguard option has been renamed to crown redguard.
Version 1.0.13c
- - Active powers, the argonian npc spit, the argonian power attack poison, the orc rage passive, the khajiit pounce, the khajiit npc bonus damage passive, the khajiit npc teleport, and the khajiit power attack bleed were disabled during brawls.
  
  - Fixed an issue where argonian npcs could only use the health version of histskin at or below level 9.
  
  - Wood elf npc summons and dark elf ancestor summons are now desummoned when out of combat.
Version 1.0.13b
- - Fixed an issue where the npc only khajiit teleport was automatically activating for the player during combat.
  
  If you're playing a khajiit then make sure you're out of combat and that the cooldown effect has worn off of you before updating. If the fix doesn't "just work" like Todd Howard intended then you'll need to swap your race from khajiit to something else and then back. The console command "showracemenu" should work. Transforming into a werewolf or vampire lord would also probably work. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Version 1.0.13a
- - I accidentally turned off the breton npc version of dragonskin at some point by mistake. It's back on now.
  
  - In the last update I was working on fixing the xbox version of npc health regen, during this time I turned off hist renewal and forgot to turn it back on. It's back on now.
  
  - Several settings were changed to better match up with the unofficial patch.
  
  - Due to script lag sometimes creeping into your game, large amounts of temporary armor and magic resist were added to the npc version of the nord undying fury ability as a fail-safe measure.
Version 1.0.13
- I wanted to give a mention and special thanks to HellLizard for helping test out the mod and making suggestions over the past few months. Without HellLizard I probably wouldn't have noticed a lot of the bugs or missing spell visuals. I spend more time developing mods than I do playing the game now days, so some issues are bound to slip past me unless they get brought up.
  
  - The scripts attached to the player versions of movement speed increasing abilities were removed and replaced with a better solution.
  
  - Health regeneration for npcs was added on the Xbox mod version. It works a bit differently under the hood than the player version due to the restrictions on ini files that Bethesda put in place but the end result is the same.
  
  - Combat health regeneration rates for all races excluding argonians were changed back to the vanilla setting of 70%. When I set it up in the first place I was under the mistaken assumption that the 30% combat regeneration debuff came from a game setting rather than the default 0.7 stat setting itself. This will result in most races gaining or losing a bit of health regeneration in combat.
  
  - I fixed a spell visual that was missing a model which the dunmer ancestor assassin uses.
  
  - A couple of incorrect race settings on nords and redguards were fixed.
  
  - A couple scripts were made more efficient.
  
  - New visual effects were added to aetherial conduit, adrenaline rush, undying fury, and all three versions of histskin.
  
  - An issue was fixed where the argonian's swimming ability wasn't activating as soon as it should have. The swim speed was also increased to 100 up from 50 because it wasn't that noticeable.
  
  - Argonian npcs can now use all 3 versions of histskin in combat, instead of just the health version. This should result in less immortal lizards running around in your game.
  
  - Argonian npcs can now spit at a longer range than before, the ability will no longer stun enemies who should be immune to stuns, and the slow was also fixed. Additionally npcs will make better use of their spit skill, I've added at least 2 IQ points to lizardkind as a whole.
  
  - More restrictions were added to keep khajiit mages and archers from teleporting into melee range with their blink ability. The teleport will also now return the caster to their original position after a few seconds and can't be used on flying enemies. Npcs shouldn't get lost or fall to their deaths anymore as a result of this ability.
  
  - The stamina cost of the khajiit pounce ability was changed to use a flat 33% of your maximum stamina, down from 5 + 35% max stamina. The additional 5 stamina made setting up conditions for it a nightmare. Now you can jump a total of 3 times before running out of stamina.
  
  - The baseline amount of stamina regeneration in adrenaline rush was lowered from 50 to 30. It was a bit too effective when compared to similar abilities that had a less number of advantages such as histskin.
Version 1.0.12b
- - When I fixed the file path issue from last time I accidentally created a new one by mistake, this patch fixes that blunder. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Version 1.0.12a
- - Fixed a file path issue in the textures bsa.
Version 1.0.12
- - Attempt #4 at fixing the dark elf ancestor ctd. I have recreated the npcs from scratch and tested the mod for an hour and a half successfully without a ctd. If this doesn't fix the crash for you guys then I'm out of ideas.
Version 1.0.11
- - Attempt #3 at fixing the dark elf ancestor ctd. I was able to recreate the crash and I think I've solved it this time.
  
  - Bretons had their magic resist lowered to 15%.
  
  - The stamina cost for the khajiit pounce ability now costs 5 + 35% of your stamina.
Version 1.0.10
- - Fixed a long standing issue where humanoid npcs weren't regenerating health. This was due to an ini setting.
  
  - Attempted to fix a crash that some people were getting when the dunmer ancestors were summoned. Let me know if you're still getting a ctd.
  
  - Bretons got a new passive ability with a 60 second cooldown that lets them restore 20% of their health/stamina/magicka when hit with a spell, it also grants spell immunity for 3 seconds after getting hit by a spell.
  
  - The orc race was missing 0.1 of their allotted regeneration stat total and now it's fixed.
  
  I've never explained the way I distribute stats before so now may be a good time. Health starts at 0.7, magicka is 3.0, stamina is 5.0, and then I add +0.1 to one of the stats. After that I move the stats from one category to another while keeping the same total amount. In the orc's case I forgot to add the +0.1 stat, which put them at a slight disadvantage compared to other races.
Version 1.0.9
- - Increased the unarmed attack range by 16%.
  
  - Fixed an issue where the movement speed buffs from the redguard adrenaline rush power were all activating at the same time.
  
  - Corrected a vanilla skyrim bug that prevents movement speed buffs and slows from activating immediately. This will affect the redguard, orc, and khajiit movement speed buffs.
  
  - Fixed an issue where the npc version of adrenaline rush was using the player version by mistake. This resulted in it always activating at 50% health for the player, even if it wasn't turned on. Because of the way skyrim works, fixing this for current redguard players may require turning off your abilities, then turning off mod, then saving your game, and finally turning the mod back on. Which is not a good practice to get into at all. Transforming into another race such as a werewolf or vampire lord and then changing back to normal may also fix it. If the skill activating at 50% health isn't an issue for you then you can ignore this.
Version 1.0.8
- - Fixed a crash that was caused by the dark elf ancestor ability.
  
  - Raised the health activation threshold of the nord npc invincibility ability to 33% up from 20%.
Version 1.0.7
- - Added the npc version of the breton enchanting passive.
Version 1.0.6
- - Fixed the breton enchanting buff to work with current armor and jewelry enchants rather than new enchants.
  
  - Fixed the altmer enchanting buff to only work on weapons.
  
  - The mage ancestor was incorrectly using the player version of the blizzard and cyclone shout abilities and now uses the correct npc versions.
  
  - The bosmer npc netch summon was shrunk down to a lower size to better fit indoors.
  
  - The khajiit bleed effect now has bleeding visuals attached to it.
  
  - Changed the khajiit teleport projectile to be invisible.
  
  - Imperials can no longer bribe corpses.
  
  - Fixed several ranged npc abilities that stopped being used at regular intervals if the ability missed their intended target.
  
  - Cut down the the amount of code on several scripts.
Version 1.0.5
- - Added the ability for dunmer to choose their house or tribe. They gain small bonuses and penalties based on their choices.
  
  - The melee portion of the npc khajiit skill, suprise attack was nerfed to 50% down from 75%. The teleport portion of the skills brings this back up to 75%, making it even with the spell portion of the ability.
  
  - The nord invulnerability skill was lowered to 6 seconds down from 8.
  
  - The proc rate of the orc rage skill was raised slightly.
  
  - Several textures were optimized to use up less memory.
  
  - The starting spells, flames and healing were restored. A patch was made for people who still want them removed.
Version 1.0.4
- - Increased the altmer stamina regeneration rate which was mistakenly set to 0.48 back up to the correct 4.8 setting.
  
  - Reduced the male argonian stamina regeneration rate which was mistakenly set to 5.8 back down to the correct 5.3 setting.
  
  - Redid several spells to take up less system resources.
  
  - Fixed the height of a couple of vampire races that weren't the same as their normal race counterparts.
Version 1.0.3
- - Added a new passive to nords that reduces incoming stagger effects by 25%.
  
  - Fixed racial powers ignoring cooldowns for several races.
  
  - Raised female breton height to 0.99 up from 0.97 which makes them taller than female imperials. Making them mirror the male breton and male imperial height relationship.
  
  - Changed several spell descriptions to better reflect what they do.
Version 1.0.2
- - Reduced the argonian spit damage from 7 to 6.
  
  - Fixed a missing visual asset for the argonian spit.
  
  - Fixed a condition that was preventing the spit from dealing damage and made the ability use less system resources.
  
  - Made it so that only khajiit npcs with melee weapons will use the teleport ability.
Version 1.0.1
- - Added a "nothing personal kid" style teleport that lets khajiit npc's teleport behind their foes and deal bonus damage for 2 seconds. This was an attempt to give them something similar to the player only jump ability.
  
  - Added loose scripts for the brawl bugs fixes.
Version 1
- Release.

Starting a new game is recommended for everything to work properly. If you don't start a new game then you need to use the lineage ability from your powers menu to complete the quest which will give you a new set of abilities and remove the vanilla abilities from your character. If you have SKSE installed, starting a new game automates everything right after character creation.

Here's a link to the Xbox version of the mod

General Mod Features

Spoiler:

Show

Most races have different sets of abilities that you can choose from. For example, you could be a dark elf from house telvanni with abilities that lean towards magic or a dark elf from house redoran with advantages in melee. Some options are still a work in progress, so not every race has more than a single set of abilities at the moment. NPC's get a random set of abilities when they spawn.

Most abilities work for both the npc and the player, meaning that everyone is on an even playing field for the most part. If the ability does not function for npc's then a similar replacement is given instead.

All playable races regenerate health over time, this includes npcs. In the base game, only the player regenerated health, now every humanoid npc can regenerate health.

Unarmed attacks deal a base of 10 damage, up from the base of 4 in vanilla.

Unarmed power attacks will stagger and have a 10% chance to knock back enemies.

Unarmed attacks have had their reach slightly increased.

All skill points for each race start at 1. In place of minor and major skills you now gain a 5% and 10% increased experience amount for certain skills based on your starting race choice. The original minor/major skills didn't work properly with the new lineage system, so it was replaced with xp bonuses.

The height of each race was changed slightly to better reflect the other games in the elder scrolls franchise as a whole.

Movement speed was increased or decreased based on race/sex height to make everyone move at roughly the same speed. Individual npc height will still come into play though.

Most active racial abilities can auto-activate on their own when you meet a certain stat threshold. This can be toggled on or off at your discretion.

Most active racial powers now have a 15 minute cooldown period instead of a daily reset.

The attack speed stacking issue that Bethesda left in the game was fixed. This was done because a few racial abilities buff attack speed. The fixes include vanilla spells, shouts, perks, and the playable races. Load this mod after any perk overhauls that don't also feature this type of fix or things may get weird.

This mod includes a copy of the modern brawl bugs fix by EnaiSiaion.

There are also patches for several different mods and in-game settings to revert some of the changes listed above.
