📋 About This Mod
Lets you see the attribute ranges and certain characteristics of a background by mousing over a character's background icon. Attributes are compared to a default set (which all backgrounds are based on) and are colored red if they're below these default values, colored green if they're greater and uncolored if they're equal. Attributes marked with a blue X means that characters of this background cannot be talented (have "stars") in them.
