Overview
If you're like me, you like spongy enemies. Ever since this game came out, I've been finding ways to avoid gaining the damage perks that FNV gives you -- Insect Stomper, Mutant Massacrer, and so on. I then figured that I'd rather have the perks available while using mods that increase enemy health or decrease player damage, but that they should also be nerfed.
All of the damage perks have been lowered a couple percentage points with certain ones, like DNAvenger which at its maximum gives the player a 30% damage boost to Cazadores, being reduced to a shadow of its former self. I also threw in a small nerf to the challenge perk that increases limb strength because I use a mod that makes the player more vulnerable to limb crippling. The main grouping of vanilla challenge perks generally go from 3%, 6%, and 10%; in this mod, those for example have been reduced to 2%, 4%, and 6%.
Instructions
Just throw the .esp into the Data folder and activate, and you do need Old World Blues for this.
