About this mod
Gives the player certain skills pertaining to whichever companion you may have at the time.
- Permissions and credits
This mod changes the base Companion perks to give a bonus to skills that are related to that character. It made sense in my eyes, for example, that if I have a doctor like Arcade Gannon looming over me all the time, I could at least be able to consult him for any medicine related speech checks or similar, same with Raul, Veronica etc.
The Pip-Boy seen in the screenshots is: Official Pipboy Readius - New Vegas Edition

This mod basically edits the base perks that the companion gives you when you recruit them, so it should work with existing companions as well.
This mod also contains a script that 'refreshes' your perks from any existing companions, or else the skill bonuses do not apply.
(This is basically done by detecting whether you have the perk or not and then removing and re-adding it).
