Description:

===============

 

This adds a perception requirement to Energy Weapons.

 

===============

Details:

===============

 

SPECIALs. They were so important in FO1/2 yet near useless in FO3. I hope that my Skill Cap based on SPECIALs mod helped in that regard.

 

So, what does this mod do? This mod adds a Perception requirement to using Energy Weapons.

 

That means that to use Energy Weapons pefectly, you need to have 7 perception. If you have lower then 7 perception you have a random chance of hurting yourself when firing.

 

The lower your perception the more chance of hurting yourself, and the more damage. So I advice you not to fire Energy Weapons when you have 1 perception ;)

 

I also advice you not to use automatic Energy Weapons when you have less then 7 perception. (Been there, done that, and have a tombstone to prove it :P)

 

This mod is also completely compatible with any mod that adds Energy Weapons. No patches needed. This mod is also compatible with popular mods like FWE, FOOK, and Phalanx.

 

This mod requires FOSE to work.

Is the perception requirement necessary to prevent you from pointing the weapon at yourself?

 

Good perception is generally necessary for a marksman to see and hit his target. Being able to operate a weapon without hurting oneself usually falls under intelligence.

Intelligence was already one of the SPECIALs that most maxed. And Perception is the skill that governs Energy Weapons. And besides, if you have very low perception (blind) you might point it at yourself :P
