Adjusts how many skill points are lost upon death in a Campaign.
Vanilla: 1. if you die, drop 75% of your skills down to the lowest starting value for your job. Captain's starting range is "40-50 Helm, 25-35 Weapons, 15-25 Mech/Electrical, 5-10 Medical". Thus, dying with 50 Medical, would drop to 20. Dying a second time, would drop 12.5. 2. Also Reapers Tax if you respawn mid-round, which further reduces skills and speed, but at least it is curable and somewhat avoidable.
Death Skills Keeper leaves Reaper's Tax as-is, but adjusts the unavoidable skill drop: Now you drop 33%, up to a max loss of 10 (configurable), down to the highest starting value for your job. So Captain dying with 50 Medical, drops to 40. Dying with 20 Medical, drops to 17. This seems less punishing for newer characters, while still leaving _some_ cost for death.
This requires the (serverside) LuaForBarotrauma by Evil Factory to work: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2559634234
By editing Mods/DeathSkillsKeeper/Lua/config.lua , you can adjust the percentage and/or fixed amount of skills lost (0 works), and the minimum (Job's startMax, startMin, or a fixed number like 50).
