Race Bonus Overhaul---RBO

[leedavis]

Race Bonus Overhaul (RBO),

(http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19374)

removes the Skyrim Race Bonuses and adds skill increases ratios instead. Argonians now learn the Lockpicking skill faster than all other races, Orcimers learn the Heavy Armor skill faster, Redguards learn the One-Handed weapon skill faster, and so on with each race.

 

Races no longer have bonuses for skills. The "Skill Use Multi" is increased 10% for Major skills and 5% for Minor skills, allowing players to learn Race specific skill faster overall, instead of all at once from the beginning.

 

Here is a link to each races Major and Minor Skills:

I used the Mage/Thief/Warrior Stones as benchmarks to create this mod. There might be issues with these stones in whether or not you stil get the 20% skill improvement. I have no way of testing whether the 20% overrides the 10% or 5% "Skill Use Multi".

 

The stones work on a Three system overlay. Perks, Magic Effects, then Abilities, lower to higher priority respectively. I copied this overlay to make this work. When I'm able to find a work around to avoid overwriting the stones, I'll update these files.

 

FOUR OPTIONS:

---WARNING CHOOSE ONLY ONE, THEY DO THE SAME THING, WITH SLIGHT CHANGES---

---MAKE SURE ONLY ONE IS CHECKED IN YOUR DATA FILES LISTS---

 

1. RBO.esp

---This is the Default file

2. RBO_Hidden.esp

---This Hides the Race Bonuses in the "Active Effects" Magic manu.

3. RBO_Extreme.esp

---Changes the Ratios to: Major 50% faster, Minor 25% faster

---(The Idea of Extreme is that Minor skill improvements in the Default are marginal and are hardly noticed. This makes a more noticable change in skill improvement)

4. RBO_Extreme_Hidden

---This Hides the Race Bonuses in the "Active Effects" Magic manu.

 

I recommend using this mod with:

"Choose Your Own Adventure--Skills at Level Zero"
