Inspired by the custom class creation of Daggerfall, the Special mod for OpenMW (>0.49) let you customize a Morrowind character beyond what race/class/birthday provide. The goal of the mod is to allow you to have unique builds based on the background and innate capabilities of a character.
For instance, a breton that had a thief as father figure can be more agile than the standard breton while lacking in wisdom. A nord descending from a family of smiths can have a resistance to fire because they worked the forge daily. A orc raised as scholar may be unable to use any type of weapons effectively but may be a proficient mage. And so on...
