Numbskull Rebalance offers two new, more punishing versions:
Version 1 – Moderate: XP gain reduced by 60%

Ideal for players who want an even tougher and slower-paced hardcore RPG experience. Levelling takes more time, making skill progression feel earned and resource management more critical.

Two new versions of the Numbskull perk (60% and 80% XP reduction)
English and German support
No changes outside the perk – high compatibility with other mods
