Wood elf needs more pen I feel and redguard I'd like to see have some damage buff. I'd like khajjit to get their original crit chance over crit damage passive back

^^^ Wood Elf definitely needs a bit more penetration and Redguard needs changed as well. It's arguably the worst race in the game.

Bosmer should get pen equivalent to lover mundus.

Altmers don't need a buff, but High Born has a 1% experience increase. This would eventually become useless once they have reached a certain level or CP level. Maybe a different buff would be useful for the lifetime of the high elf.

Also, dunmer get bonuses against fire. Argonians are lizards and should get some sort of water based resistance, and maybe damage. The only equivalent is ice damage though, so I'm not sure argonians should get increase ice damage.

I think giving argonians damage, or at least on the same level as dark or high elf for example, would be problematic when added to their higher ceiling of sustain. ZOS has cut back on sustain many times. If you gave a bunch of damage to argonians it would be imbalanced.

Guidelines:
1. Each race will be allotted 3000 maximum resources distributed between magicka, stamina, and health, with health receiving a 10% increase consistent with all other sources of health in the game
2. Each race will have a small defensive bonus of relatively equal value
3. Each race will have access to a sustain tool for at least one of their resources
4. Each race will be granted the equivalent of two 2-4 piece item set bonuses, copy pasted directly from pre-existing item sets in the game wherever applicable
5. Each race will reflect traditional TES lore and be given non-combat flavor passives to support this.

Does it have to be racials? Because I would really, really, really love to play Bosmer because their racials are awesome, their looks, their history and areas but, I can't stand playing any kind of short race. I wish they would make them taller, at least mid ranged height. It's so lame being a male and being that small.

[edited to remove inapproprate term]

DrSlaughtr

Yeesh let's not use m word, okay? Also they're supposed to be small.

Danel_Vadan

From: Imperial Mettle increases your Maximum Stamina.

To: Imperial Mettle increases your Maximum Stamina and Magicka.

This would fit with the lore since Imperials are made up of the martial Colovians (stam) and the magically-inclined Nibenese (mag).

RedFireDisco

Wood Elf should do 10% more damage from stealth like they used to.

Lol at their stealth detect passive.

Dracane

I would change the Altmer Spell Recharge talent to recover either stamina or magicka based on which current percentage is lower instead of which maximum ressource is lower. I think it makes sense like this and makes it more versatile.

Sword_Singer

I made an image to explain what change I would make. It sits in the vein of the current passives in the game.
From the metrics I have looked at Redguard's only make up 5% of the player-base, sitting at the lowest.
I am not going to assume or make any claim to why this is, but instead I think a nice buff or addition might make them a more attractive option from a gameplay standpoint.
(You may have to open the image in a new tab, preview is quite blurry on here.)

Starlight_Knight

I would want to change Bosmer for sure, bring back its stealth passive.

Also though i would like to change some of the dedicated stam and mag races a little more to make it so you're not forced to play one setup on one race. more like Dark elf who are good at eveything,

SkaraMinoc

Argonians need a healing buff. Their raw healing output is less than both Dark Elf and High Elf.

I propose 6% gets buffed to 9%.

starlizard70ub17_ESO

I would do away with racial passives and instead allow players 3 to 5 passives skill points to set up the character's passives they want. It would be just like choosing traits for Fallout when creating your character there. At this point race choice should be a style option or for role-players with no other effect then cosmetic.
