Olympia’s Congenital Trait Balancing
An extremely simple mod that rebalances the three favorite congenital traits: Beauty, Intellect, and Physique. The mass bonuses given in the Intellect trait have been redistributed to the other two, so that Genius is not necessarily always the best congenital trait to have no matter what your character’s focus.
- Beauty: Now receives +1, +3, and +5 in Diplomacy and Intrigue
- Intellect: Only grants +1, +3, and +5 to Learning and Stewardship
- Physique: Now receives +1, +3, and +5 in Martial
The opposite congenital traits (Ugly, Stupid, and Frail) have likewise been rebalanced to match.
Other bonuses associated with the traits (such as attraction opinion modifiers, prowess, health and fertility bonuses, etc.) have not been altered from the base game.
This was a change made for our own personal gaming group so that one congenital trait did not rule them all. When were looking for situations where a beautiful child could be just as useful as a genius child if educated and used in the right roles.
1. Will you rebalance the other congenital traits, like fecund and strong?
No. Those feel balanced to me as they currently stand.
2. Is this compatible with X mod?
This only modifies the lines involved with these traits, nothing else. So you can use it with other mods that make bigger changes to the traits file, just load this one last.
