It's the 9th mod in the A.R.T. (Amazing Race Tweaks!) series. The others are HERE. No DLC is required. It's compatible with all mods in the Sp0ckrates workshop and many others. You do NOT have to unsubscribe from other mods in this series to use this mod.


The goal of this mod series is to make each race truly unique. If a mod doesn't give a race powers and abilities no other race has, it shouldn't be called Amazing Race Tweaks! Right? I never played a Redguard. The race looked cool, but regenerating stamina faster just once a day really didn't sound worth it. Well, I think you'll agree this mod changes that! Enchanting weapons during combat, sprinting 3 times further or 3 times faster, and even sprinting on top of water! Yeah, that sounds more like it! Hope you like it, too.



For 60 seconds, enchant any unenchanted weapon you equip. To remove the enchantment, simply sheath the weapon. Each power has a different enchantment and also increases your stamina regeneration, so you can do more power attacks:

• Desert Heat - Enchants equipped weapon with fire and stamina regenerates faster for 60 seconds
  
• Desert Night - Enchants equipped weapon with frost and stamina regenerates faster for 60 seconds
  
• Desert Storm - Enchants equipped weapon with shock and stamina regenerates faster for 60 seconds
  
• Desert Wind - Enchants equipped weapon with increased speed and stamina regenerates faster for 60 seconds

Perks increase the amount of fire, frost or shock damage, and the increase in speed (see On-the-Fly Enchanting and Perks Required, below).

Lets you sprint 3 x longer than normal. Use it as often as you want for 60 seconds or until your stamina fully depletes. It doesn't stack with Fleet Feet, so you can't run faster and further at the same time.

Sprint 3 x Faster whenever you want for 60 seconds or until your stamina fully depletes. Doesn't stack with Endurance Sprint.

Redguard mastery of Alteration lets them do the impossible. When using the Fleet Feet power, you can also sprint on top of water! To start swimming, simply stop sprinting.


Redguards are master smiths with all but Mer-crafted (Elven, Falmer, Glass and Orcish) armor and weapons. They can improve Scimitars (their own curved swords) 30% better; Hide and Leather light armor 20% better; Iron, Steel, Ebony and Daedric heavy armor 10% better; and Iron, Steel, Ebony and Daedric weapons 20% better.

All Alteration spells cost 20% less to cast, are 30% stronger and last 4 x longer.

Redguards now learn Alteration, Light Armor, One-Handed and Smithing skills 20% faster.

High Elves are born with 50 more magicka, so it makes sense that Redguards would be born with more stamina. Both new and existing characters--as well as NPC foes and followers--now have 50 more stamina.

Beginning stats for new characters are increased as follows. Alteration and One-Handed: +15. Archery, Light Armor and Smithing: +10. Total stat bonus is increased from +35 to +60. Starting spells are remain unchanged.


The amount of damage done by the fire, frost or shock enchantments of the Desert Heat, Desert Night and Desert Storm powers depend on the Destruction skill perks you acquire:

• No perk - Damages 5 health
  
• Novice Destruction perk - Damages 10 health
  
• Apprentice Destruction - Damages 15 health
  
• Adept Destruction - Damage 20 health
  
• Expert Destruction - Damages 25 health
  
• Master Destruction - Damages 30 health

The weapon speed of the Desert Wind power depends on your Alteration skill perks:

• No perk - Weapons are 5% faster
  
• Novice Alteration - Weapons are 10% faster
  
• Apprentice Alteration - Weapons are 25% faster
  
• Adept Alteration - Weapons are 50% faster
  
• Expert Alteration - Weapons are 75% faster
  
• Master Alteration - Weapons are 100% faster
