Book Perks
beta3
I hated skill books in orginal Fallouts and I still do. In orginals I couldn\'t put any points into any skill untill I had raised it to maximum value attainable by books (for example 91% (127% when exploiting chem effects) for small guns) and in Fallout3 I couldn\'t raise any skill above 40 because of +50 Book bonuses and +10 Bobblehead (Speech being the worst +50 from books, +10 from bobblehead and +10 Yew\'s Bear Charm)
Also because of books you could master all skills in game.
This is why I removed skill bonuses from books effectively removing 323 (646) skill points from game. And Because I didn\'t want to make books completely useless I edited them to give player perks instead.
Perk requirements: 70(rank1), 75(rank2), 80(rank3), 85(rank4), 90(rank5), 95(rank6), 100(rank7) skill points in said skill. This is to balance perks and because your character either isn\'t interested or doesn\'t have required knowledge to fully understand and put to use information in books he doesn\'t have invested points into.
