True Racial Abilities

No DLCs required

This mod tryies to give all the races lore friendly abilities that combine all the Elder Scrolls games, with a few changes to semi-balance the game. I wanted all the races in the game to have their specific roles in the game, whether that's being a mage, thief, or warrior. I also wanted the races to be completely different from each other rather than having the same abilities later in the game. If some races seem to be over powered or under powered toward the other races then just comment below and I will fix as soon as possible, I'm always open to new ideas that are completely lore friendly.

This mod will not work with anything that changes the races in the game. If trying to use a Preset Mod, use the preset mod first and then after making your character you can enable my mod and everything will work fine. Just remember to disable your preset mod before enabling True Racial Abilities so it can work properly.
