📋 About This Mod
This mod adds 3 new traits to the game, essentially as possible \'History\' for your courier. Merchant Before becoming a courier you spent time as a traveling merchant. In fact, if it wasn\'t for the blizzard on your way out here that ruined your stock you might still be doing it. (+10 to Barter, +5 to speech, +25 Carry Weight, -1 Luck) NCR Quartermaster While with the NCR you spent time as a Quartmaster. Your experience with cleaning and repairing weaponry is something you still have a strong grasp of, much more so than your ability to make deals with the merchants going through your camp. (+10 Repair, +5 Barter) NCR Recon You spent time in the NCR as a Ranger, often on long missions performing reconnaissance alone. As a result of many nights alone in unfriendly territory you\'re more attentive to what\'s around you and your stealth and survival skills are second to very few. (+1 to perception, +10 to survival, +10 to sneak, +5 speech with NCR members), but all the sleeping on the ground has taken a toll on your body. (-1 to strength) This mod is intended as a supplement to coach shogun 20\'s A Roleplayers History. I highly recommend downloading his 10 options as well! http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=38419

💡 Beginner Tips

- Test the traits on a new character to see their effects, as the description doesn't detail them.
