Perk descriptions may vary from in-game descriptions for reasons explained here.
Perks support Mouse-over functionality (desktop version only): hovering over the modifier words with your cursor will reveal the values behind them.
On mobile browsers, the values are displayed in small text after the modifier words. Desktop users experiencing issues with the mouse-over may temporarily switch to mobile view at the bottom of an Article page.

Trivia

• It is not advised to use Autodidact together with Stake Out . The Great Healing Skill Checks from Stake Out override the bonus progression obtained by Autodidact, meaning the benefits of the 5 % bonus Great Skill Check will begin to hinder you after 3 Tokens.
• Autodidact can be combined with Solidarity to potentially heal both you and the other Survivor at the same time once enough Tokens were obtained.
