📋 About This Mod

Description:

On paper  Far harbor perks looked very powerful (Protector and Destroyer of Acadia), but they didn't seem to work consistently or at all. So I decided to take a look at them in geck. What I found was very surprising: both perks had only 20% chance to trigger when your health fell below 20%, furthermore the 4x damage effect would be canceled once health was over 20%.

I changed it so that the perks would trigger 100% of the time when player health falls below 20%, removed 4x damage effect cancelation making it actually last 30 seconds regardless and added little animations (like during nerd rage) to show that effect has been triggered.

V 1. 1 Added fix for Far Harbor survivalist perk. Now it should add resistance values and display that in game.

v 1. 5 Updated to work with modern version of the game. Removed the optional version of the mod. Thanks to bigEZchad for updating, checkout his mod Bash and Unarmed Damage Increase Fix.

This is my very first mod, I knew nothing about how to mod prior to atemting to create this, so there might be some problems. In that case please let me know and I will try to fix them to the best of my ability.
