Description

This mod is yet another attempt at making Charisma less of a useless stat. However, unlike the majority of other similar mods, you aren't heavily penalized for keeping it low, which means you can still play the good ol' autistic 1 Charisma Courier as usual, while also having a good incentive to invest into it at the same time.

This is done by implementing three new features: Extra Perks, Max Traits, and the Nerve DT Fix. All of them can be turned off in the mod's config file, so if you, for example, would like to disable the extra perks feature, you could easily turn this into a simple bugfixing mod. More below:

Extra Perks:

• []Each point put into Charisma now grants an additional perk with the cap of 10 extra perks at 10 Charisma.[/]

  []Every 6th level, you'll be able to select up to 2 additional perks. Regardless of your actual Charisma score, you will not receive any extra perks beyond level 30.[/]

  []Similar to how the skill point system works in the game, only the permanent Charisma score counts. In other words, you cannot gain more perks by wearing Charisma-boosting gear or taking chems, etc.[/]

  []However, you can receive more perks by permanently raising your Charisma with Intense Training or other similar means. Keep in mind that boosting your Charisma this way does not reward you with additional perks retroactively - you have to plan in advance.[/]

  Max Traits:

  • []This simple feature changes how many traits you're able to select: up to 1 with 1-4 Charisma, up to 2 with 5-8 Charisma, and up to 3 with 9, 10 or more. Again, you're checked for permanent Charisma here.[/]

    Nerve DT Fix:

    • []Companions will now receive a +5% bonus to their DT for each point of Charisma you have. The cap is +50% at 10 Charisma.[/]

      []Unlike the extra perks feature, this bonus is affected by temporary boosts to your Charisma from chems or clothing.[/]

      []The bonus is rounded down, so with 1 Charisma, your companion must have at least 20 DT to see any effect.[/]

    A little history course:

    Nerve was a new (and somewhat obscure) mechanic introduced in New Vegas in an attempt to make Charisma more viable and was supposed to increase the damage and DT of your companions by 5% for each point of the player's Charisma. However, due to its rather poor implementatio
