Dark Khajiit
Version 1.0

--What does this mod do?
It adds a new race for a player-character to select at the start of the game, differing from the standard Khajiit in the initial shade of its fur and in two default attribute settings, as well as all standard hairstyles and eyes being available for selection.  The initial color of the fur upon selecting Dark Khajiit as one's race is not intended to represent your final appearence, but rather is your starting-point for tweaking the look of a decidedly darker feline.  The body textures remain unmodded, and will have a reddish shade if care isn't taken to set all dark/light options under "Tone" sufficiently dark as to render the entire body black.  Altering only facial tone is insufficient to achieve this.

--What starting attributes are changed?
Stealth has been increased by 5 points to a starting value of 10, for obvious reasons.  In order to balance this increase, Hand-to-Hand has been lowered by 5 points to a starting value of 5.

--Future revisions planned?
Support for/of various eye modifications would be ideal (capucine's, Khajiit eyes, etc.)  Body textures may be added eventually if folks seem unhappy with having only a pure-black body (it's going to be covered by armor anyway...?)  No other changes planned at present.

--How to use this mod?
Place all files and folders into your Oblivion/data directory, then use the Oblivion Launcher to click on the checkbox next to the Dark Khajiit entry.  Boot the game and start a new character.  Not yet tested with RaceChanger ring.

Also included is KyneTarse's Custom Race Fix.  This mod fixes the beginning dialogue to accommodate custom races.  If you do not already have this mod, you will need it to use the Dark Khajiit race.

--Can I use your mod as a component part of my own mod?
Provided you give credit where it's due and don't claim the underlying textures as your own, feel perfectly free to use this mod to make your own.  Be sure to give it a unique tag and title that won't be confused with this mod.
