About this mod
Installing Lupa\'s Brain into Rex is currently bugged and doesn\'t increase max HP by 100. I couldn\'t find a way to fix, so I made the quest reward boost Rex\'s DT by 16 as a compromise (to a total of 20... light armored)

This addon will increase Rex's DT by 16 (from 4) for a total DT of 20 when installing Lupa's brain as part of Rex's questline. DT 20 is equal to a character in light Vault 34 armor (16 DT) with a reinforced metal helmet (4 FT). I believe this to be a fair compromise for the bugged questline which SHOULD increase Rex's max health by 100, but doesn't.
At the time of this mod's creation. Rex's questline has a bug where installing Lupa's brain will only increase Rex's current health by 100 rather than his max health, making the perk useless afte the first 100 damage you take as Rex will never gain HP over his old max. This is a quirk of the Fallout Vegas animal system which apparently does not allow modav or forceav to change an animal's health, using its derived health only. I wanted to fix the bug, but could not find a way with my limited knowledge of the game's workings. Instead, I settled on a compromise!
Hopefully, somebody else can find a way to actually fix the bug, but I made this mod as a way for me to continue with the game. I really wanted to use Lupa's brain and couldn't stand that fact that it offered no bonus. The other brain bonuses are increased speed (25%) and increase damage (+5)...so 16 DT bringing Rex up to 'light' armor seems fair.
Installation:
Put it in the data folder and select it in data files when launching the game!
Hope this helps someone,
