Oh wow, this is perfect! I wanted a flat rate proc chance that was still low and uncommon. I wanted a new sound and not just silence, and I wanted a change to the icon that pops up! You covered it all! 5% proc rate across the board, a new yet familiar sound that fits in with all of Fallout 4's other sounds (because it is!), and the icon is the perfect one for the Idiot--I mean Autodidact perk!
Absolutely deserved my endorsement, well done! Thank you!
I hope this doesnt conflict with Perks Revamped if placed in the correct load order. I think I would want this mod to load after Revamped so it can override that mod's change (Idiot Servant r3 level Req 34 -> 21, r4(new) +2 Luck -1 Int, and yes I believe they misspelled Sevant)
I will try to give an update at a later time. This mod is nice, and I really like the overhaul Revamped gives, and this mod makes me actually want to put points into it.
After trying to adjust load order, I attempted to make a mergepatch with FO4Edit, but I am new to it, and failed somewhere along the process, Im pretty sure it was the new fourth rank that messed the patcher up, since I do not know how to stipulate within a patch to ignore specific parts of two conflicting mods where one mod does not have an EditorID value (each perk has its own ID, so a fourth new one was created by Perk Revamp)
-- So, before opening FO4Edit, regardless of load order, Perk Revamp was favored (maybe im just bad at using Vortex, I cant seem to figure out how to just simply change load order without going into plugins and setting up load order rules)
The perk would show 4 ranks, and after skilling the first rank, none of the subsequent ranks would apply, nor would it consume a perk point.
-- After creating a merge, some of the merge went through, so some of your parameters were shown, but as with before, it would not skill above 1 point. For the record I did modify the perk count total for each rank (from 4 to 3 including the 4th rank which I just removed all of it's changes)
-- I bit the bullet and deleted the section of Perk Revamp that affects Idiot Savant, including the 4th rank that it added. I then removed the patch since it was redundant, then redeployed everything. Loaded up a save that started at level 50 (used an alt-start mod to start higher leveled to clear level reqs and have points instead of sit for 10 minutes while watching exp bar rise)
The spot that says "Idiot Savant" normally now says "Autodidact", and has 3 ranks. I did not note the level reqs, so I do not know if it is completely fixed.
I will probably have to run around with it skilled and kill a few things and craft a few things to be sure all is well, but I dont see how the intelligence check could still be around with your mod active and anything affecting Idiot Savant removed from Perk Revamp.
Of course I have no clue what happens if either you or the other author release updates, but I'll cross that bridge when it comes.
[edit: I have since played some with this applied, and so far it seems to work as intended now that I have modified the Perks Revamped mod]
TL DR; I have not tested anything besides the behavior of applying perk points to the perk. I will hopefully know in the future if there are any issues during gameplay.
I believe the laugh was an easter egg based on or inspired by the movie Revenge of the Nerd's. https://youtu.be/bVpnUHGpFDk Though the name Idiot Savant was perhaps an ill conceived one for a perk and some would be highly offended by it, these day's the correct term is Autism and it can vary from mild Asperger's to full blown Autism. The Perk therefore should have been called Revenge of the Nerd's.
If you like 1980's american humor a little bit coarse at time's then I recommend watching it though it has dated a lot since then.

Yes, I do have a vague thought for an update - when I eventually get to it.

Thank you for doing this!
