DEADLY BOSSES
Reduce the damage taken by bosses by 50%
Bosses are:
-Sentry Bot
-Glowing One (ghoul)
-Mirelurk Queen
Affect any level, type or tier of creatures. Works on any difficulty level.
LIMBS TAKE LESS DAMAGE
Makes a target take less damage if hit on a limb.
- It makes harder to kill someone by shooting their legs
- It's only applied to humanoid races: Human, Super Mutant, Ghoul, Synth.
- It has nothing to do with limb damage. (It's not a change to "Limb Damage" function. You'll still be able to cripple limbs the same way).
- The damage caused on limbs is reduced by 50%.
- Affect both Player and NPCs.
NERFED BALLISTIC WEAVE
Reduce the effectiveness of Ballistic Weave and remove the Railroad Quest condition to apply them.The effectiveness of ballistic weave is reduced by 50%.
With the perk Armorer rank 4 you could apply 120 damage AND energy resistance to your base cloth, while it takes 5 ranks on Toughness / Refractor to grant you +50 damage OR energy resistance. Clearly unbalanced. Still unbalanced, that's why I recommend my mod: Creative Perks
NERFED CRAFTING
Make the crafting of drugs, chems and grenades a bit harder by increasing the required ingredients.
