Description

Are you tired of being months into your world and starting new characters that have "survived" all this time, only to have no skills? Me too!

This mod allows your new character to have randomized skill sets at spawn. It's very customizeable and even allows you to progressively expand how many skills your new characters get over time and even how skilled they are!

DISCLAIMER / FYI

Due to recent life stuff my work on this mod will be halted. Not sure when I'll be able to pick it back up. If someone else wants to pick up the slack, feel free.

RECOMMEND MOD

NMSC is fully compatible with this and I highly recommend it in case you want to change the options on an already existing save!

POTENTIAL CONFLICTS / FYI

-If you use Dynamic traits, you may end up getting additional traits/skill levels awarded to your character if your NMSC settings give too many skill levels, thus potentially making things too easy.

FUTURE PLANS

-Add option to keep skills received from professions when using 'Blank slate' - Completed
-Add ability to delay the Progressive options from starting until after a certain amount of time has passed
-Raise the maxmum amount of randomized skills at once to 26, up from 18 - Completed
-Add option to keep skill points received/removed from selected traits while blank slate is enabled - Completed

CURRENTLY UNTESTED IN MP. If you try it out and there are issues, please do let me know and I'll try to iron them out when possible.

BIG shoutout to some of the people over in the discord (notably @Konijima and @VMK) for the help and direction when I needed it! You guys are great!

✪ Tax, if you think 'this' is bad...oh boy..you gonna be mad when you learn about the Skill Recovery Journal

Okay, so this mod removes the very last downsides of dying from the game, making death effectively irrelevant. Good job

ive tried playing mp and singleplayer with this mod on, but on both my character has no skill points or anything. And it's not like i forgot to turn on the options--i did--it just wont work. May i suggest adding an incompatible mods list or taking a look at the code?

weight gets absolutely f'ed with this mod, just be aware of this.
There is no way this wasn't intentional.

could you add an option to choose which traits or categories to be randomized, instead of choosing randomly from every category at once?

ex: 1 Combat Trait, 1 Crafting Trait, and 1 Survival Trait
OR select which traits can be randomized/unaffected?
