Level and Perks Balance

Level & Perks Balance Mod

This mod changes the players level cap, balances perks to accommodate for the increased level cap, and tweaks some of the more useless perks to make them worth selecting in a balanced way. Some perk bugs have been patched such as Nuclear Anomaly.

• []The max player level is now raised to 40. You must have Broken Steel installed. When the player leaves the vault for the first time you will be prompted that Broken Steel has been installed like in vanilla but the level cap will read 40.

  []There is no way to pick more then one perk per level, so increasing the level cap is the only way to effectively give more perks. This mod gives the player an added 10 perk choices.

  []Perks have been spread out to accommodate for increasing the level cap in a balanced and friendly manner as to not break immersion and the feeling of upgrading your character. A list of changes is as follows:

  Level 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  - Daddy's Boy/Daddy's Girl: This perk is now 1 rank granting a bonus of 10 skill points in Science and Medicine. (Changed from 3 ranks granting 5 skill  points)

  This perk was pretty useless in vanilla as 5 skill points over a perk in 3 ranks is ridiculous.

  - Gun Nut: This perk is now 1 rank granting a bonus of 10 skill points in Small Guns and Repair (Changed from 3 ranks granting 5 skill points)

  This perk was pretty useless in vanilla as 5 skill points over a perk in 3 ranks is ridiculous.

  - Intense Training: This perk is now only 5 ranks.

  Still a pretty useless perk. Should only use if you messed up your S. P. E. C. I. A. L stats at the start of the game.

  - Lady Killer/Black Widow: Unaltered

  - Little Leaguer: This perk is now 1 rank granting a bonus of 10 skill points in Melee and Explosives.

  (Changed from 3 ranks granting 5 skill points)

  This perk was pretty useless in vanilla as 5 skill points over a perk in 3 ranks is ridiculous.

  - Swift Learner: This perk is now 1 rank granting a bonus of 20% bonus XP whenever XP is earned.

  (Changed from 3 ranks granting 10% bonus XP)

  This perk was pretty useless in vanilla because the level cap was very low. A little more useful now.

  - Thief: This perk is now 1 rank granting a bonus of 10 skill points in Sneak and Lockpick.

  (Changed from 3 ranks granting 5 skill points)

  *This perk was pretty useless in vanilla as 5 skill points over a perk in 3 ranks is ridiculous.

  Level 4 ----------------------------------
