Which are the worst balance changes in Rebirth?

Hi guys! It's time for another update. Down below you can review the changes in 4.2, and I hope you'll enjoy what it has to offer. As always let me know if there are any bugs or any other issues. Have fun!

Vanilla Fixes
* Removed 'Resist Corprus Disease: Variable', 'Resist Corprus Disease: Strong', 'Resist Corprus Disease: Great' and 'Weakness to Corprus Disease' from NPCs as the spells were useless and didn't have any effect on gameplay.
* Removed 'Ghost Curse', 'Ogrul's Quick Again', 'Scrib Paralysis', 'Alit Bite', 'Wrath of Uthol' and 'Grave'-curses from NPCs as they are special spells not intended to be used by unique NPCs or creatures.
* Shuzug gro-Bug and Shagdub gra-Murz, Tel Aruhn could sometimes appear naked due to their skills in light armor being set too low.

New stuff in 4.2

Morrowind Rebirth Fixes
* Fixed an issue where the spell 'Burden of Sin' being set as 'target' instead of 'touch' caused an "invalid trap" error message appearing under certain circumstances.
* Fixed (potentially) an issue where the minaret in Gnisis were missing which caused floating banners and other statics hanging in the air next to the temple.
* Fixed an issue where it was impossible to get out of the Deadlands if you didn't have a access to levetation spells/enchantments.
* Fixed an issue where a missing texture for the St.Felms statue 'tr_st_statue.dds' could cause the game to crash.
* Fixed an issue where the bridge connecting Vivec Entrance and Vivec was floating above ground.
* Fixed issues where light-sources had too low light radius, making some areas too dark.
* Fixed some texture issues on the Silver Battle Axe.
* Fixed collision issues with some plants/flowers.
* Fixed spaces and underscores in NPC names.
* Landscape fixes and improvements.
* Fixed doubling issues.

The hooded ash ghoul looks awesome!
Ash ghouls are my favorite creatures from Morrowind.

Keep up the good work!

Is the rate at which the level multipliers attained still the same, or has it been adjusted to require 10 points in relevant skills to get a 4x multiplier?

It's the same as usual but the maximum multiplier has been changed from 5 to 4. So where you used to get 5 you will now get 4.

Appreciate the fine consistant work. Do have some input/questions. Running OMW .42 and upgrade MR 3.9 to 4.2 using all except the optionals.

Tested to see if working correctly with existing character by quick check of the following some of which did not work.

Worked:
* Travel guides no longer have the barter option.
* Kwama Foragers are now hostile again.
* All summons now have the prefix "Summoned" in their name.
* Clagius Clanler, now is more of an oddball trader
* Arangaer no longer sells spells

Did NOT Work:
* Topic 'Pelagiad' now mentions the Mages Guild in Pelagiad.
* The topic 'Imperial Legion' now mentions Fort Ashmoth.
* The topic 'Forts' now mentions Fort Ashmoth.
* Elone's Directions now mentions Seyda Outpost. (issue here may be what is meant by "directions" however I could not elicit this mention from Elone no matter what)
* Added a few basic spells to Arrille such as Jump & Feather

Could you verify they should work or tell me what I may be doing incorrectly?

TIA

I'll double check the topics, but you may have to start a new game for some of the changes to work properly.

Oh and the directions is a document if I recall correctely.
