So recently I've been replaying Oblivion for the fourth time or so. This recent playthough was feeling kindof bland in the leveling department, as I have been playing an Atronach Breton, which has a lot of extra flat magicka added to your character. At lvl one I was sporting over 400, and with 100 intelligence its really only gotten about 50 higher or so. I remember playing Morrowind, and the birthsigns and races you picked determened how many magicka points you got per level, so if you played a Atronach Breton you would start off with low magicka but the more your intellect leveled you would have a huge pool. It made leveling intelligence feel great, and added levels of depth not found in Oblivion to the game. After searching for many different alternatives, I have stumbled across many Birthsign and Race mods that don't seem to add any level of depth to character development or stat increase.

So, my question is, what birthsign/race mod has worked best for you? What should I try?
