*Additional changes. The sharable perk is changed to any perk you have. Not just a perk you have equipped. Same rules regarding Charisma apply.

*True damage is damage that ignores resistances and can't be reduced. When using damage numbers players would see their damage and the X damage of the true damage.

With changes like this we can hopefully start to see diversity and growth in builds. Condensing down some perks gives back SPECIAL points to be further used in other ways. Perks are still level dependent but stretching the scaling makes the stages of the game feel better.

Hybrid builds would shine. Builds that need extra finally can get it without upsetting to much. Extra perk effects ideally help bring some builds back into a better place and don’t do much to make them too overpowered or overpowered. There are many other perks that could use some change but these are the ones that need help more.

Edit: looked sloppy in places.
