Jinxed - Perk

Jinxed! An old trait as a new perk Update - Bug fixed - If you engaged with a non-hostile, then loaded. The game remembered that target as your last Combat Target and continue to apply the effect. Fixed, by ensuring the knockdown effect only applies in combat. So, it won\'t kick in until you have deliberately chosen a combat target. Probability tweaked - Got around to running the math and comparing to my test runs, was statistically applying more than I intended; I have altered the chance. Also weighted Player Luck more in the calculation for effecting self. See the Notes Section for more. Rolled all the files into an All in One Pack; for ease of updating. Description - Has three versions; Each is included in the All in One Pack: Jinxed!_Perk - Available at Level 2. When fighting your target has a chance to have a knockdown effect applied to them. Doesn\'t happen every time but often enough to be both useful and hilarious. Jinxed!-Trait - Available at Level 2. When fighting you and your target have chance to have a knockdown effect applied. Doesn\'t happen every time but often enough to invoke Murphy\'s Law, be useful and be hilarious. (The chance for the Player to be knocked down is modified by Luck.) Jinxed!_Mega Bad Luck Edition - (Requires FOSE: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4888) Available at level 2. The Mega Bad Luck Edition is a release for those that feel, Jinxed! needs a bit more oomph than just the standard knockdowns. All guns now have a 5% chance to jam when firing. (Fallout 3 does have a small issue with weapon jams when firing; see the bottom of the Notes Section below, for more.) Mines now have a random detonation time; 0 to twice the default Mines now have a random detonation proximity; 0 to twice the default In combat you and your enemies have a chance for a knockdown effect to be applied. The Player\'s chance is modified by Luck. - - - Two optional icons are available; also included in the All in One Pack- New Jinxed Icon - Better reflects the knockdown effect that Jinxed! uses Jinxed Icon Classic - Is a quick import of the classic Jinxed Icon from Fallout 1/2 - - - The Jinxed Trait was a favourite of mine from previous Fallout games, I was sorely disappointed when it didn\'t make the cut. I went with the knockdown effect, because I felt it best reflected the chaotic nature of the original Jinxed. I tried a variety of other effects but I wanted to keep it as simple as possible to limit any issues that would creep up. In the end having your enemy be knocked down seemed the best and simplest way to simulate critical failures on any enemies that would appear (regardless of their weapons or type). My personal favourite is the Jinxed_Trait version. - - - Notes - Probability of the effect; For those interested in the actual math, I\'m sure you\'ll look into it for yourself. But, here are the practical results: (Because the checks are made each frame, faster mac
