About this mod
Edits Background skill bonuses to all add up to 6 total points, and changes some skills to make a bit more sense

There are a lot of mods on here that edit backgrounds, but they all felt just the slightest bit overpowered to me. So I made my own.
Every Background now has a total of 6 skill points - generally backgrounds that previously gave 1 point to 3 skills, now give 2 to each, and ones that only gave 2 to one skill now have a second skill and give 3 points to both.
I also took the chance to change some skills that I found a little headscratching in how they related to the background - this means some Backgrounds that previously only had 1 skill do now have 3, and some that had 3 now only have 2 as well. A full list of the changes is below:
Artist: Replaced Mechanics with Sleight of Hand
Clergy: Added History
Dissident: History Replaced with Streetwise, Intimidate replaced with Explosives
Drifter: Bluff replaced with Survival
Explorer: Removed Diplomacy
Farmer: Added Athletics and Alchemy
Arcane Apprentice: Added Alchemy and Metaphysics
Gentry: Added History
Labourer: Added Mechanics and Explosives
Midwife: Removed Explosives
Philosopher: Adeed Metaphysics and History
Raider: Replaced Athletics with Intimidate
Scientist: Replaced Arcana with Alchemy
Slave: Removed Streetwise
Trapper: Added Survival and Stealth
