📋 About This Mod
In the Vanilla version of the game, your character starts with a base AP of 65, and an additional 3 points are awarded for each level in Agility.
This means you get a measly -9 Action Point penalty for "Deadly Sleep Deprivation", keeping in mind the average AP per attack in VATS is usually around 20.
-World's Eepiest Courier
With this mod installed, your base AP is now 20, and you'll receive 10 AP per level of agility.
-
[]With 1 Agility, you will have...
OLD: 68 Action Points
NEW: 30 Action Points
- [
OLD: 95 Action Points
NEW: 120 Action Points
...and with 5 Agility you'll have 70 AP instead of 80 AP.
So now you have an incentive to avoid Agility debuffs, and the difference between a Courier with 1 Agility and 10 isn't just one more attack in VATS.
Requires IStewieAI's Tweaks. ESPless.
Safe to install/remove mid-playthrough.
