Skill Mastery Rewards

After three months of gaining skill 10, you'll get an event that will reward you with one new selectable related bonus trait. This can be declined if you so choose. You can only choose one per skill.

These bonuses can only occur if the survivor doesn't already have one mastery/specialty trait tied to the maxed out skill, with the exception of the following as they're considered weak or overly specialized traits on their own:

• Animal Taming
  
• Fast Butchery (or similar butchery speed enhancing traits)
  
• Crafting Instructor
  
• Combat Instructor
  
• Master Hunter
  
• Explorer
  
  Currently, this mod is set up only to detect traits included with it, and those in vanilla. Traits created in other mods are not flagged (yet). Select a different bonus trait that doesn't create redundancy and potential conflicts should your survivor already have a similar or better bonus, or choose to decline the bonus.
  
  These bonuses can also occur if the player character is an Android, if you're using either Jaggid's Hopes and Dreams or Project-X mods. Hope is excluded so it doesn't run afoul of her progress and story bits in the Guardians campaign.
  
  Weapon specialty traits have support for Old Earth Tech, Project-X (Repaired) and Cyberpunk mods.
  
  NOTE TO MODDERS - If you'd like this mod to be compatible with your ranged weapons, make sure the you use one of the following tags in your weapons, depending on how you classify them:
  
  bow, pistol, rifle, shotgun, sniper
  
  Melee weapons are covered in their entirety since that trait looks directly for whatever is equipped in the melee slot.
