[WiP] Attributes Based Perk Bonuses

[Game Overlord]

I'm currently working on my first mod released for the community called Attribute Bonus Perk Overhaul. Its exactly what it sais it does, it replaces existing static Bonuses on perks by a similar bonus that is based on the players S.P.E.C.I.A.L attributes.

Take for instance the Iron fist perk; originally it would always give a flat static bonus of 5 additional damage, no mater how strong a character was. This mod changes that in this instance by giving a unhanded damage bonus ranging from 1 up to 10 based on the logical attribute namely Strength. Similar changes have been made for other Perks, making them stronger or weaker based on a player Attribute values. Also many of the Perk attribute requirements have been eliminated, allowing for greater freedom when developing a character. Perks that offered a insignificant advantage are also boosted by additional bonuses based on Attributes. It should motivate players to select perks that match a players attribute values, which reduce the advantages of min maxing and should therefore improve the players role playing experience. Overall, it makes choosing perks other that the most recommend Perks much more challenging and rewarding.
