About this mod

Complete re-imagination of classes for Skyrim. Develop your character via a system that lets you decide which skills to use, abilities to gain, and how to specialize as your character advances. A much simpler implementation than prior CORI version, eliminating restrictions and out-of-date frameworks, and utilizing a simple MCM approach.

Class Overhaul Re Imagined

A complete overhaul and re-imagination of classes. Develop your character through a series of 3 archetypes, 6 classes, and 21 specializations. The options available depend upon how you play and develop your character. No need to micromanage details (such as skill advancement), and no navigating through tedious frameworks.


How does it work?

  • One class point is provided from the start. Select your beginning archetype and ability, and play.
  • Every 5 character levels you receive a class point to use to develop your archetype as you see fit.
  • Each archetype has its own ability which will advance along with your archetype level.
  • Upon placing 5 points in archetype(s), class(es) will become available, with more ability selections to further customize your character.
  • Upon placing 5 points in class(es), specialization(s) will become available, with very specific ability selections.
  • You can put class points in any combination of archetypes, classes, and/or specializations.
  • Archetypes and their abilities (Tier 1) max out at level 15.
  • Classes and their abilities (Tier 2) max out at level 5 (you can become a level 10 class with two abilities leveled up to 5).
  • Specializations and their abilities (Tier 3) max out at level 2.
  • You will continue to receive a class point every 5 levels to use as you wish.

As with my other SkyRem mods, one of my goals is to ensure maximum compatibility. Thanks to mods such as SPID/KID, I was able to avoid making changes to vanilla records with this version, minimizing compatibility issues or the need for patching.

While not an incompatibility, mods that introduce a class system may not mesh well with Cori (either become OP much more quickly, or just become completely inconsistent with character building).

Cori is designed to work along side other overhauls, including combat, magic, and perk overhauls.
