*** Dragon Shouts Rebalanced README ***


--- Description ---
Here contained is information about "Dragon Shouts Rebalanced," a mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that seeks to make dragon shouts more useful and appropriately powerful.
In general, cooldown times have been slightly reduced and shouts made more powerful, making the Thu'um feel more in line with its legendary reputation.
These were not thoughtless buffs, however; each change was given careful consideration and caution was taken to prevent shouts from becoming overpowered.
Below is a list of the changes I've made to all of the shouts, followed by instructions for installing and uninstalling this mod.
This mod requires both Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLC to function.
This mod should not conflict with anything, except other mods that change the characteristics of shouts.

--- Installation ---
Simply place dragonShoutsRebalanced.esp into the data folder located within your Skyrim directory.
After that, be sure to activate it in the Skyrim Launcher.
You can place this mod anywhere in your load order, so long as it comes after the master files (.esm).
However, if you have other mods that alter the characteristics of shouts, you may want to load Dragon Shouts Rebalanced after them to ensure that its changes take effect.
Or just let a mod manager handle everything for you.


--- Uninstallation ---
I would recommend making a fresh save in which there are no dragon shout effects active before deleting the file, just to be safe.
But yeah, that's how you uninstall this mod; just delete the esp.
