Imagine a Vegan, Hippie Samurai character which is not much good at anything, not even fighting...

I see that the last update for this mod was February 17, which was 2 full months before the Samurai Update was released for the game. Perhaps that is why this mod seems to do FAR MORE harm than good?

Seriously. With this mod enabled, all new characters and all rescued characters start with FOUR starting skills and these usually have serious flaws. Many start with Vegan, which has -50% [Melee] Damage and -10% Accuracy. Many also start with Hippie, which has -50% Damage and -50 Chop Speed. Moreover, the start skills are mostly predictable.

With this mod disabled, things are much better: All new and rescued characters start with SIX starting skills. Moreover, Vegan and Hippie become rare and start skills are much more random!
