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.

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 classified as an Android (notably Jaggid's Hopes and Dreams and 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 any weapons that use the tags noted below, which includes Old Earth Tech - Redux, New Earth Tech, vanilla, and Samuel Mayweather/Auriele Allard's unique starting weapons.

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.
