📋 About This Mod
Perks, traits, chems, and equipment that push a Primary Attribute score above 10 will now provide bonuses up to a score of 15. This will allow you to make the character you want right at the beginning without adjusting your scores down to plan for things like power armor and implants. Bonuses from scores above 10 will show up on the Effects screen of the Pip-Boy Adjustments to bonuses aren\'t always instantaneous. If you don\'t see the bonus on the Effects screen right away, close the Pip-Boy and then check again. Your scores will be stuck showing 10 on the SPECIAL screen even if they are higher. Sorry. The Endurance bonus to Hit Points makes it look like a temp bonus. Well, it is because it\'s from a conditional ability, but you can heal up to your bonus amount no problem. This mod cannot account for changes other mods make to Derived Attributes (fewer Hit Points per Endurance point and such). *There is no difficulty offset built into this mod. This does not uncap NPCs either so it\'s purely a bonus on the player\'s side. I recommend using a difficulty enhancer of some sort to balance out the advantages this mod offers.
