About this mod
Adds a chem, Special-X, that can be crafted and used to give you a perk point. Chemical X, the item needed to craft it, can only be looted from "boss chests" at the end of dungeons. You need 10 to make the chem.

- Permissions and credits
This mod is inspired by two others, but requires neither. The original mod (by KingDemise) and an add-on (by Nedned).
This is sort of a marriage of the ideas. Instead of finding the chem itself, you find a component needed to craft the chem.
The chemical, called "Special-X", is crafted with a component item found in boss chests. On usage, you gain a perk without needing to level. Side effects are like the above-mentioned mods, -2 to all SPECIAL attributes, but only for 5 minutes (by default). Might want to hold off on taking it until you're clear of danger.
I jokingly called the requisite component "Chemical X", but then the name actually grew on me. Yes, that's from The Powerpuff Girls. The chemical presumably gave the girls their powers, and what is a perk if not a power? Anyways, I (unskillfully) whipped up a new texture, made a poor material swap for acid, and the item comes in the form of a bottle labeled "Chemical - X". With 10 of them (by default), you can craft a single Special-X.
I wouldn't call it "lore-friendly", but it cuts back a little on the tedium for acquiring perks. I hope this doesn't offend either of the inspirations. I'm willing to make changes if I need to.
This mod optionally uses another of mine, Inventories Exposed - Boss Chests, that allows others to add guaranteed loot to boss chests without making further edits to those files.
- The original, "X special The perk point chem" made a cheap, craftable chem that added perk points on usage.
- The add-on, "Perk Point Chem (Alternate Way to gain Perk)" made it uncraftable, but added the item to boss chests.
