How would this character fare?

[Makatak]

Here was my idea for a nerd character:

Dr. Asberner

S: 4
P: 6
E: 4
C: 7
I: 10
A: 4
L: 5

Tag skills: Science, First Aid, Energy Weapons

Traits: One-hander, Good Natured

You may get owned trying to run from certain encounters as you should only have 7 APs per turn (is that right?)

Hope you find an energy weapon soon.



On the plus side, without gifted, you'll get 30 skill points per level?

 

[Makatak]

25 points a level, I think

And you get 7 APs when agility is 4 or 5. So its, like, average or slightly below average.

lol, this is a RPG. Try it out and see.

You could talk your way out of things and do quests for exp though, instead of just doing the easy kill xp points.

Should be okay, though you won't fight much early on. You may want to run down to New Reno for the electronic lockpick and pulse grenades, then get the plasma pistol from the toxic caves. You'll certainly have an easier time than my perverse current character:

Perception, intelligence, luck: 10
Charisma: 7
Strength, endurance, agility: 1
Traits: one-hander, fast shot
Tags: energy weapons, unarmed, speech
Carry weight: 50
AP: 5

Deliberately not having NPCs or taking perks such as weapon handling, lifegiver, or pack rat that would negate the severe drawbacks. Currently at level 11 with only 46 HP. It's been... interesting, to say the least.
