Beginner's Luck - A New Social Skill

Beginner's Luck is a new Tier 1 (Novice) Social skill, inspired by Fallout's "Idiot Savant" that grants a random chance to gain an increased amount of XP, the frequency determined by the player's level. It is completely new and compatible with anything.

"Recent studies have shown that there's no reason a novice can't have an advantage over an expert in any particular environment - provided they are lucky enough."

RANK 1 Randomly receive 2x XP from any action, and the lower your level, the greater the chance. RANK 2 Randomly receive 3x XP from any action, and the lower your level, the greater the chance. RANK 3 Randomly receive 4x XP from any action, and the lower your level, the greater the chance. RANK 4 Randomly receive 5x XP from any action, and the lower your level, the greater the chance.

CHALLENGE 1 Loot 50 containers. CHALLENGE 2 Deal 25 critical hits. CHALLENGE 3 Succeed in 5 speech challenges.

Beginner's Luck can be found on Tier 1 (Novice tier) of the Social skill tree. It works very much like Fallout's "Idiot Savant" skill where every time you gain XP, there's a random chance (chances are higher at lower levels) that it's multiplied. It's a great skill to take for anyone, but will help more in the early game compared to late. It uses the icon of Rejuvenation.

The chances behind it Level 1-10: 10% chance Level 11-25: 8% chance Level 26-40: 6% chance Level 41-60: 4% chance Level 61+: 2% chance This is roughly in line with Fallout 4's implementation of Idiot Savant where with 1 Intelligence you'd have ~10% chance and with 10+ Intelligence you'd have ~1% chance.

This skill is compatible with all other mods. I'm slightly biased but I would recommend pairing it with my skill overhaul - Valiant.
