Ultimate Sniper

I just finished my last game and i want to start over, and i decided to make the ultimate sniper, but i'm having trouble making my character so he/she will be the best. I'm also thinking that my character will be evil. so any suggestions would be welcome.
 
RE: Ultimate Sniper

Well, let's see...First you need a good perception. Gifted is a really nice trait for bumping up stats and getting more stat points. I would get it up around 8-9 or so. Agility is also good, to give more APs for aimed shots. After picking Gifted, I would lower endurance and strength back down to about 5 or so, which will give you more stat points.

Tag skills: Small guns! (duh) Also, sneak is pretty good for evil types. You can sneak around and steal, or get into good position for a shot without being seen. I tend to tag speech, as well, since it allows you to talk your way out of/into many situations. Big guns is a waste. Energy weapons can be decent, if you pick up something like the Turbo Plasma Rifle or the Pulse rifle. (I mean, come on, EVERYBODY does the Gauss rifle..be different! :)

Perks: Lots of stuff. I would go for Action boy, bonus ranged attacks, more criticals, better criticals, and, of course, sniper. (Not necessiarly in that order, though) In my opinion, the Sharpshooter perk is pretty worthless. If you already have a decent Perception (8 or so), and a good guns skill, it's wasted.
 
RE: Ultimate Sniper

Sounds great, almost perfect..but you left out one thing.... FINESSE! It's like the God of optional traits when it comes to sniper chars (IMHO). That and a decent ammount of luck are good.... Why? Because aimed shots (lets say, to the head, just as an example) almost always do criticals with Finesse and good luck - Without the Sniper perk. Now WITH it... :-) I'm pretty sure Sniper does a critical no matter what on an aimed shot, regardless or not if you make the luck roll.
Have about 155% in Smallguns and you're all set.
