Hello folks,

question about how my explosive skill is being calculated. My base perception is 5 which gives me an automatic 10 to explosives. My explosives skill is 51. The command
"player.setav explosives 36 gives me explosives of 51, which doesn't make sense based on my calcuations

51 (current explosives through set av)

10 automatic base to explosives for perception of 5.
3 automatic base to explosives for luck of 5.
36 what I had through the set.av command.

That gives me 49.

It's showing 51. So:

2 points are unaccounted for.

My perks right now are:

Bug stomper
commando
enhanced sensors
finesse
intense traning (7)
lord death
ranger takedown
wild wasteland

I had ED (the robot) leave me - no effect on those 5 points
I checked under stats effects and there are no effects running at all.

Can someone explain to me or maybe venture a guess as to what is going on? My intention is that I want to take points off one stat and apply it to another stat to be fair.

now I wanted to bring my repair up to 90 so I could qualify for jury rig perk.
so what I did was did do player.setav repair 50 to get to 90 repair. Results are again...bizzare.

My intelligence is 10. That gives me 20 repair bonus.
luck is 5. That gives me another 3.

so set av of 50 plus 20 would give me 73, not 90.

Oh wait. It's getting worse now. I did the set av to give me four eyes perk. I have sun glasses and it's giving me +2 to perception instead of +1. When I remove the sun glasses it goes down from 7 back to 5. I thought it was supposed to go from 5 to 4 if glasses were off and from 5 to 6 if glasses are on. Geesh, this game is a mess or I am.

I again checked my effects and there no effects are being applied to me. What the heck is going on? What am I missing here? Thanks!
