Making First Mod- Help Greatly Appreciated!

[thestrauch]

Hey guys, I know there are a lot of great modders on here and I need some help. I am creating my first mod and I have a VERY limited knowledge as far as that subject goes. My goal is to create a custom race that I can play as. To clarify, the Snow Elf race. Now I understand some of the very basics of how to add an effect, but I want to give my race the ability to deal 1.5X damage when casting a spell that deals frost damage. If it is easier this could apply to weapons enchanted with frost as well. But if someone could give me a pointer on how to add that as an effect that would be great! Thank you!

The Snow Elf race already exists. In terms of what you're asking, you can modify the race to have a PCStartSpell (a spell that the player character starts out with). Scripting may be required to force the frost enchantment to be already known by the player character. Custom races are incredibly difficult and most often require knowledge of 3D modeling to fix numerous bugs that can pop up.
