Its like the exact mod I want, but with a pointless twist. Make a version that makes the changes static not dependent on being drunk. There isnt even a mod or command to make the SS perma-drunk.
Does rank 4 actually have an explosion? That would be a dealbreaker for me, but otherwise I like the changes.
Edit: Also, does the 30% armor increase just raise the value of what's being worn? (+6 to base 20 points for example)
And does it apply at all times (when drunk, of course)? It seems contrary to the concept of the Drunken Boxing perk to become more resistant to bullets. I'm not sure if the game even differentiates between melee and ranged damage though.
Rank 4 does have an "ignite" effect that knocks them down. It does no damage, however, it is purely for looks. The 30% armor increase is applied to what you are wearing. If you are naked or wearing armor that only shields from rads or energy weapons it will have no effect. The reason I added it was because I wanted to simulate the dodge-iness of drunken boxing, but, well, there is no dodge mechanic in the game. So armor it was.
One mod for NV simulated dodging with a chance to gain large amounts of DT when hit, taking only minimum damage. http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/57786/? The mod requires NVSE, but I know that new commands have been added since then (like help) so I'm not sure if it can currently be replicated.
Nice idea. And now a modified perk tree for the wife (who is a lawyer), please :). How about calling it "Laying down the Law" and giving it armor-piercing, stunning and staggering effects? Just joking.
Now this is how perks should be. Weird fun ways to alter how you play. Not just plus 1s. Thats what the skills used to be and now half of the skills are just stat ups.
