Bugs

 * If you use this at the beginning of the game, you will have the normal effects. However, if you re-apply it before going into the wasteland, the positive effect doubles and the negative effect doesn't double, remaining at -10% Experience. The trait can also be later reapplied at the Sink for a total of 15 points to all skills, while the penalty remains at -10%. (Confirmed on PS3 version 1.07.)

J.E. Sawyer's Fallout RPG
You gain an additional Tag skill. However, you gain -1 skill points every level because you often spread yourself too thin.
