📋 About This Mod
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this mod is to make some of the otherwise useless miscellaneous stats... useful.
Originally intended to make reaching higher levels in the crafting skills more achievable, without an increasing feel of grinding. However, per suggestions and additional thought through other mod development, it has expanded beyond just crafting.
This is done by utilizing the magic that is the Actor Value Generator mod to transform some of these MiscStats into useful actor values that act as multipliers for the rate at which you learn the crafting skills, or add a growing bonus to disease and poison resistance, or other modifiers that make sense with their associated miscellaneous stats.
Several perks are added to the player once the mod is active. These mods utilize the MiscStats in the form of Actor Values (thanks to AVG), and applies multipliers to various factors. As of 2.x.x, multipliers will change following sleep. This was done to prevent polling the system, but if you need an immersive way to look at it, you need time to reflect on your experiences of the day to fully realize their benefit...
This helps provide a solution to the difficult/boring/tedious/monotonous/mindless/tiresome/repetitive/banal/frustrating... task of crafting, without feeling like something is being done to "beat the system". This adjusts your "learning curve" in a discreet fashion that actually just might make crafting a little more enjoyable.
Other benefits provided include increasing disease and poison resistance based on exposure. For example, every time a disease is contracted, your disease resistance is increased by a fraction of a percent (up to 25%). The same with poison resistance and working with poisons. Eating ingredients can improve both resistances over time.
