Thoughts on thief-oriented racial/birthsign mods?

Post » Sun Oct 17, 2010 7:10 am

While troubleshooting a save game crash I accidently included the COBL Races esp that gave me the alternate racial/birthsign abilities. I understand from the COBL thread
that these are versions of the older RBP mod.

There is the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1075687-relz-applers-passive-birthsigns/ I am currently watching for an update on.

It seems the COBL scout ability giving detect life + nighteye is nice yet if you are a Khajiit it would be half-useful. I am an Imperial (default svck 100 fatigue is nice, putting many flat on their backs in the early levels, but
also seems overpowered ability to give a level 1 character). The switch up with COBL on Voice of the Emperor gives large bonus to Personality/Speech, 5 to some weapon skills, neg 25 fire, pos to paralysis/poison(?), etc.

The detect guards seems not very useful as I haven't had a use yet up to level 5 to detect guard. It also takes alot of magika for a non spell user, basically making it a one-cast and wait thing.

I also notice my strength went down by a few points making me get more fatigued with Realistic Fatigue. On the other hand there is the Feather Bag toggle for 600 seconds...

Any opinions on these or other mods for this purpose?

I play an Ohmes-Raht (RBP) and I use the Thief birthsign. It's invaluable - the scout toggle is great for dungeon-diving or playing a stealth character, and the feather bag is a lifesaver, especially since my character is weak to start with (even with SM Encumbrance and Fatigue).

And yes, COBL Races is basically RBP Lite.

Just looked over the full RBP and see how it has the original 100 fatigue drain so I think I will stick with this or something else.
Like I said, overpowered to be giving that at level 1, especially when you have DR loaded. One shot kill when a goblin can't get up.
