Improved Perks

This mod alters perks to improve game balance and make more perks viable.  In the base game some perks are overwhelmingly powerful while others are basically irrelevant.  This mod aims to fix that.

Health Perks

Full Body Contact

• []Grit gained on-hit reduced to 7 (down from 15)[/]

Rage

• []Damage per wound increased to 15% (up from 10%), stacks up to 45% (down from 50)[/]

Revenge

• []Damage trigger reduced to 5% of HP (down from 15% - note, this is a buff)[/]

  []Penalty for subsequent triggers in a single turn increased to 35% (up from 20%)[/]

Vanguard

• []Grit gained when out of cover reduced to 7 (down from 15)[/]

Grit is extremely powerful and both grit perks in this tree are almost gamebreaking for how much grit they give.  Now you have to work a bit harder to get the same grit you got before.

Revenge and Rage both trigger their effects more easily; since these effects only happen when you're in a bad spot, it's justified.

Agility Perks

• []Damage bonus increased to 20% (up from 15%)[/]

Fast Runner

• []Free move bonus reduced to 2 (down from 3)[/]

Vantage Point

• []Accuracy bonus improved to 25% (up from 10%)[/]

  []Ladder AP cost reduction improved to 70% (up from 20%)[/]

Frogleaping

• []Added Light Armour restriction[/]

Slight tweaks to two underwhelming perks here, and a pretty big nerf to Fast Runner and Frogleaping.  Free move is too easy to get in the base game.  Now, Fast Runner gives a reduced bonus, and Frogleaping only works in light armour, so you have to risk a lot more for less bonus.

Dexterity Perks

Untraceable

• []Stealth bonus decreased to 20% (down from 30%)[/]

  []Stealth damage bonus decreased to 15% (down from 20%)[/]

Deadeye

• []Crit bonus per aim level reduced to 4% (down from 5%)[/]

Reactive Fire

• []Base chance reduced to 40% (down from 50%)[/]

  []Penalty for subsequent triggers in a single turn increased to 35% (up from 20%) [/]

Some small tweaks to reduce the value of the stronger perks in this tree.

Strength Perks

Collateral Damage

• []Damage to enemies behind cover increased to 30% (up from 15%)[/]

  []Damage to objects increased to 50% (up from 30%)[/]

True Strike

• []No longer causes melee attacks to be guaranteed crits[/]

Collateral Damage is extremely underwhelming and needs buffs to compete with other gold perks.  True Strike is incredibly overpowered - now you still get a guaranteed crit, but you have to work harder for it - it also offers some combination potential with teammates instead of just being an 'I Win' button.

Wisdom Perks

• []Bandage bonus increased to 60% (up from 30%)[/]

  []Bandaging also removes 1 wound[/]

Dire Warning

• []Chance on-hit to inflict Panic increased to 35% (up from 15%)[/]

Painkiller

• []Percentage of Medical skill converted to Grit increased to 50% (up from 33%)[/]

Savior makes bandaging way more useful.  Painkiller is now much more usable with a lower medical skill (only requires 60 medical to get the maximum amount of grit).  Dire Warning's chance to occur is now high enough that you might actually see it from time to time!

Unique Perks

You See Igor (Ivan)

• []AP restored on-kill reduced to 2 (down from 3)[/]

Anything You Can Do (Buns)

• []Chance-to-hit bonus increased to 20% (up from 10%)[/]

Vashe Zdorovye! (Igor)

• []Grit gained increased to 30 (up from 25)[/]

Some small tweaks to a few unique perks that are either underperforming slightly, or, in the case of Ivan's perk, completely breaking the game.
