Universal Aptitudes - Extra Skills on Level Up

Gives every character a +1 bonus to each skill per 5 levels.

I don't like how arbitrarily high some of the skill checks for later in the game are, such as in the Forgotten Sanctum DLC. But from what I can find from existing modders, there's no way to simply increase the number of skill ranks available at each level. This is my attempt at a fix: At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, each character gets a +1 to each skill, for a humble total of +4 to all skills at level 20. Combined with assisted skill checks (which somehow expect skill totals of, what, 47?) this should give you some freedom to branch out into multiple skills instead of feeling pressured to dunk every rank into, say, Athletics, just so you can navigate a particularly boggy swamp.

Existing characters will probably need to respec to receive the ability, but new games shouldn't have a problem. If you want to add it to an existing character without respeccing, use the ID "d1e7fb80-e0fc-4edb-9181-edf1377a78dc"
