This is a simple patch for the Hot Diggity perk overhaul that makes the Pain Train perk more flexible. Bowl people over in your Power Armor without needing to invest in Strength, or leverage your Strength and forgo the tin can. Chugga-chugga or choo-choo, it's up to you!

Version 0.1
Initial Upload
The main thing this mod does is remove the Strength requirement from the Pain Train perks, then changes all of the "has power armor" checks on its effects into "has 10+ Strength" checks. This means you can take the perks with any amount of Strength (Hot Diggity still has level requirements on all three ranks), but must have 10 Strength to actually use it.
How you get that Strength doesn't matter. Be naturally strong, bulk yourself up with Fortifying legendary armor, be a Party Girl with a steady supply of whiskey, or don some Rad Powered gear and embrace Atom's glow. Power Armor is a reliable (but no longer required) way to get there, since all frames set your Strength to 11. Even a PA jockey with a Strength of 1 can meet the requirements that way. Just be mindful that Strength penalties--such as those from some chem addictions--can drag your Strength back down below 10, even in Power Armor.
If anyone wants to steal this and adapt it for other LevelUpMenuEx environments, go nuts. Permissions are open. Or go give Hot Diggity a try. 1.0 is out and pretty slammin'.
