Overview
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This mod overhauls all birthsigns with two ideas in mind: A birthsign should either let you 
specialize in an attribute (increasing it above max and giving a related bonus) or increase your 
resistances (rounding out, improving, or maxing out resistances granted by your race).

This mod removes your birthsign's Fortify Attribute effects while you sleep. This allows you to 
increase your birthsign's attributes to a max of 120 when you level up. This mod assumes you are 
NOT using an attribute uncapping patch, because that makes increasing above 100 less special.

The Thief birthsign giving Agility is balanced around Androl's Better Governing Attributes mod.
That mod moves Short Blade and Security under Agility, making that attribute more important
for stealth-focused characters.

The Ritual birthsign is balanced around you already having Willpower-based magicka regen.
I recommend the "(Ben's Defaults)" version of my Ben's Super Customizable Magicka Regen mod.

This mod is designed to pair well with my Ben's Balanced Passive Races mod.

Ability Balancing
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When balancing abilities, I assigned each effect a point value.
Each birthsign gets 5 points worth of abilities, though some only use 4.5 or 4.8.
Resistances are worth more here than in my races mod because these can let you cap a resistance.
I consider Resist Poison to be the least useful resistance, so I reduced its cost accordingly.

+3 Fortify Attack 10 pts
+3 Fortify Maximum Magicka 0.5x INT
+3 Sanctuary 10 pts

+1 Fortify Attribute 10 pts

+1.5 Resist Normal Weapons 10%
+1.5 Resist Fire/Frost/Shock/Magicka 25%
+1.5 Resist Poison 50%

+3 Restore Health 1/sec
+3 Restore Magicka 1/sec
+1 Restore Fatigue 1/sec

+3 Feather 500 pts
+5 Spell Absorption 50 pts
-6 Stunted Magicka

I intentionally kept Fortify Maximum Magicka multipliers low to encourage magic-focused characters 
to consider other options. Here are all the maximum magicka values possible with this mod, assuming 
you're also using my Ben's Balanced Passive Races mod (Breton/Altmer/Dunmer get 0.5x INT).

100 Default 
130 Apprentice
150 Breton/Altmer/Dunmer
180 Mage
180 Breton/Altmer/Dunmer + Apprentice
200 Atronach
240 Breton/Altmer/Dunmer + Mage
250 Breton/Altmer/Dunmer + Atronach

Installation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extract files into "Morrowind/Data Files" and enable Ben-PassiveBirthsigns.esp

IMPORTANT: While this mod does not depend on the Tribunal or Bloodmoon .esm files, 
you must have the Tribunal and Bloodmoon expansions installed (or have a version of 
the game, like the GOTY edition, that includes both expansions).
