Closer to Classics - Perks and Traits

DESCRIPTION 1. Perk Rate. Classic Fallout games had a concept of \"Perk Rate\", meaning that characters did not gain a perk every level. Instead, humans got a perk every third level, dogs got a perk every other level, etc.. This mod implements a \"Perk Rate\" of 2, meaning that you will gain a perk every even level (2, 4, 6 and so on). On odd levels (3, 5, 7...), you only get skill points, and must pick the \"No Perk\" perk from the list of perks. All other perks (except Here and Now) are unavailable at odd levels. 2. Traits. Traits are \"special abilities\" that make your character unique. Like Perks, they have helpful effects. Unlike Perks, they also have negative effects on your character (except for Bloody Mess). You can pick up to 2 Traits as soon as you LOAD your game and EXIT INTO AN EXTERIOR AREA. Or, if you do not like traits, you do not have to pick them at all. Traits are based directly on Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics and Van Buren. Some traits replace vanilla game perks. Please read the description of each trait CAREFULLY: - Bloody Mess: With the Bloody Mess trait, characters and creatures you kill will often explode into a red, gut-ridden, eyeball-strewn paste. Fun! - Bruiser: A little slower, but a little bigger. You may not swing as often, but they will feel it when you nail \'em! Your Strength is +2, but you lose 20 action points. - Clean Living: Chemicals only affect you half as long as normal, but your chance to be addicted is also only 50% of normal. THIS TRAIT REPLACES \"CHEM RESISTANT\" PERK. - Fast Metabolism: Your metabolism is faster than normal, and you have stronger reactions to stimulants... and poisons. You gain a 20% Health bonus when using Stimpaks, but you have 20% less resistance to Radiation and Poison. THIS TRAIT REPLACES \"FAST METABOLISM\" PERK. - Fast Shot: You spray bullets like a maniac! All your attacks cost 25% fewer Action Points they normally would and do 10% more damage. However, you have 25% less chance to hit in V. A. T. S. mode, and your ranged weapons suffer from greater shot spread because of your jittery hands. - Cannibal: You are a cannibal! When in Sneak Mode, you can choose to devour a corpse, and gain some Health from this hideous act. However, every time you feed, you lose Karma, and if the act is witnessed, it is considered a crime against nature. THIS TRAIT REPLACES \"CANNIBAL\" PERK. - Finesse: Your hands are delicate precision instruments, making you an excellent marksman. Unfortunately, you are just about worthless in close combat. You score more critical hits with ranged weapons, but deal less damage with Unarmed and Melee Weapon attacks. This trait cannot be selected together with \"Heavy Handed\". THIS TRAIT REPLACES \"FINESSE\" PERK. - Gifted: You are naturally more gifted than those around you, so difficult things come easier. Unfortunately, this made you a bit of a slacker. Your statistics are better than a regular person\'s, but you
