About this mod

First mod which balances Skill Points gained via Intelligence, also balances Tagged Skills.

Permissions and credits
This mod is a part of my enormous overhaul mod called AWN - After War Nevada - Complete Overhaul Mod. It took me 2 years to create it, so check it out!

I bet that many people were looking for a similar mod like this one - and because I didn't see any mod which balanced Intelligence and gained Skill Points - I uploaded my own.
This plugin is part of my quite big Overhaul Mod for New Vegas which is still in development.

I made a simple script which changes formula of gained Skill Points via player's Intelligence stat.

v1.3

Optimized scripts and fixed a bug with getting/losing 1 Skill Point every 2 levels with uneven values of Intelligence.

Added few plugins more to increase variation.

This is the final version, because everything finally works as intended.


Vanilla formula (Default):
10 SP + 1 SP for every 2 points of Intelligence, so with 1 Intelligence player has 10 Skill Points and with 10 Intelligence he has 15 Skill Points per level.




My formula (Normal):
5 SP + 1 SP for every point of Intelligence, so with 1 Intelligence player has only 6 Skill Points and with 10 Intelligence he has 15 Skill Points per level.

My formula (Increased):
10 SP + 1 SP for every point of Intelligence, so with 1 Intelligence player has 11 Skill Points and with 10 Intelligence he has 20 Skill Points per level.

My formula (Hardcore)
0 SP + 1 SP for every point of Intelligence, so with 1 Intelligence player has only 1 Skill Point and with 10 Intelligence he has 10 Skill Points per level.

My formula (High):
5 SP + 2 SP for every point of Intelligence, so with 1 Intelligence player has 7 Skill Points and with 10 Intelligence he has 25 Skill Points per level.

My formula (Very High):
10 SP + 2 SP for every point of Intelligence, so with 1 Intelligence player has 12 Skill Points and with 10 Intelligence he has 30 Skill Points per level.

My formula (Semi Hardcore):
0 SP + 2 SP for every point of Intelligence, so with 1 Intelligence player has 2 Skill Points and with 10 Intelligence he has 20 Skill Points per level.

My formula (Decreased):
5 SP + 1 SP for every 2 points of Intelligence, so with 1 Intelligence player has 5.5 Skill Points and with 10 Intelligence he has 10 Skill Points per level.

My formula (Hard Hardcore):
0 SP + 1 SP for every 2 points of Intelligence, so with 1 Intelligence player has 0.5 Skill Point and with 10 Intelligence he has 5 Skill Points per level.




There are also optional plugins which change Tagged Skills.

Vanilla (Default) Tagged Skills give you one time 15 Skill Point bonus to your chosen Skill, but I guess that most of you will agree with me that it's almost useless and it should be somewhat more rewarding instead.
That's why, in addition to that one-time flat bonus, I also doubled the amount of Skill increase when you put your Skill Points into the Tagged Skills (same as it was in Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics).


Tagged Skills plugin (Normal):
5 Skill Point flat bonus to the Tagged Skill and doubled amount of Skill Increase.

Tagged Skills plugin (Hardcore):
0 Skill Point flat bonus to the Tagged Skill and doubled amount of Skill Increase.

Tagged Skills plugin (High):
10 Skill Point flat bonus to the Tagged Skill and doubled amount of Skill Increase.

Tagged Skills plugin (Very High):
15 Skill Point flat bonus to the Tagged Skill and doubled amount of Skill Increase.

Tagged Skills plugin (Vanilla Increased):
20 Skill Point flat bonus to the Tagged Skill and default Skill Increase.

Tagged Skills plugin (Vanilla Very Increased):
25 Skill Point flat bonus to the Tagged Skill and default Skill Increase.

Tagged Skills plugin (Vanilla Double Increased):
30 Skill Point flat bonus to the Tagged Skill and default Skill Increase.

Warning!
Use only one main plugin at the time, don't use few of them at the same time.
You can use the Optional Tagged Skills plugin together with the main plugin, also you can use it alone without them, but don't use few Optional plugins together.
If you use my plugins when you already have level higher than 1 you WILL NOT get any extra Skill Points for earlier levels, but the mod itself will still work.

Enjoy!
