📋 About This Mod
Looking for a few more points to spend when picking your stats? This mod gives you up to 10 extra S. P. E. C. I. A. L. points to allocate. When Doc Mitchell has you walk up to the Vit-o-matic Vigor Tester, and give it a try, you\'ll be presented with a menu to choose what sort of person, power-wise, your character is. There are choices for +10, +5, and normal points. For the masochistic player (or the one who thinks getting shot in the head is a significant trauma), there\'s a -5 point option. Note: If you use console commands to change your stats after using the Vigor Tester, but before leaving town, if you choose to rebuild your character, you\'ll get only as many points as you chose. -- Version 1: GLOB StartingSPECIAL created with a default of 40 SCPT VCG01VigorTesterChoiceSCRIPT created SCPT VCG04ActivatorScript set to use new global ACTI VCG01VigorTester set to use new script * MESG VCG01ChooseStartingSPECIAL created
