- by GreyWyvern

- 0.2 - Fix initial install issue
- 0.1 - First release


DESCRIPTION

Diminishing Skill Returns is a mod designed to remove the incentive for
the player to spam skills many times for a long period of time in order
to easily and inorganically boost skill levels.

Examples would be constantly jumping to raise Acrobatics, or letting a
group of mudcrabs attack you while you raise your block skill, or
casting a targetted spell against a wall over and over to raise one of
your magic skills.

Now by performing an action over and over that raises a specific skill,
the amount of XP you earn for that action will reduce over time until
you're only earning 1% of the default XP you *should* be earning. So it
will take 100x as long to gain a level of Acrobatics if your habit is
to spam jump whenever you're running somewhere.

Since Athletics and Sneak skills are raised by second-to-second,
continuous action (running and evading detection respectively) they are
excluded from being affected by default, but can be changed via the
in-game Mod Configuration Menu.

I'm releasing this mod as a 0.1 version for people to test and give
feedback on the initial values for the configurable variables. If
you have any comments, please message me on the Nexus or contact me
