Tired of accidentally blowing yourself to bits because you hit the hotkey for your explosive assault rifle instead of your normal one? Wish you could really just go hogwild with your explosive combat shotgun? Good news! Now you can! This mod adds a perk which completely negates self damage from the explosive bullets legendary effect.

Initial release
This mod was made in response to a reddit post asking whether or not there were any mods that would help survive the splash damage from firing a weapon with the legendary "explosive bullets" effect in close range. At the moment, it only adds a perk, "Explosive Bullet Splash Immunity" which must be added through the console. In the future I will likely add a quest to give the player the perk at the start of the game.
This perk negates all incoming damage that is dealt by a member of the player faction with a weapon that has the keyword "HasLegendary_Weapon_ExplosiveBullets" and therefore only applies to weapons with the explosive bullets legendary effect. Things that are always explosive (broadsider cannonballs, grenades, missiles, mini-nukes) are unaffected, as are modded weapons that have explosive bullets but not the keyword.
When adding the perk through the console I recommend entering "help splash 0" to find the perk's ID.
This mod is available as an ESM or for those concerned with the number of mods, as an ESL; there should not be any conflicts with other mods as it currently does nothing besides add the new perk.
