My chemical jinxed Fallout

[Von Drunky]

I want to make a Jinxed trait character that will have all the drug addiction traits early in the game. I will be using a hack character with 10 to each stat. What perks and skills do you guys think I should be getting? I never actually played a Jinxed or addicted character and I would like to know exactly how does withdrawal works; can I actually die if I stop taking jet or psycho and with regular drug intake can I keep my stats at the original 10?

You won't die, you will only suffer from lowered stats (the amount of which varies depending on the drug you are addicted to). And yes your stats will stay at 10 as long as you regularly receive your fix.

Also, post in the right forum next time.

So lets say im traveling and i dont get stoped for a week and i end up going through withdrawal will my stats get damaged permanently? and what is the daily intake of each drug and the amount.

and also:

Do drugs and Chems actually effect npc’s other then Cassidy? I remember giving Vic jet and that did not seem to phase him and I know Myron uses whatever drug is in his inventory.

No, they won't. When you lose the addiction, your stats will return to normal (I'm not sure how fast, but I think it's a matter of days). Jet is an exception, though, since once you get addicted, it doesn't pass until you take the antidote. Therefore, you'll either have to take it on a regular basis to prevent stat drops or take the antidote.

Yes, they do affect all NPCs, but they can't get addicted.

Before i start how does Jinxed work in relation to a high luck stat of 10?

and

what weapons have the highist misfuncation rate? im thinking bozuka but what else is likely to turn on you?

You'll have less critical failures, but the rest will have equal. In other words, Jinxed will influence you less, while the effect on everyone else stays the same.

All Big Guns and Explosives have the best crit failures. Crit failure rate isn't influenced by the type of weapon you use, though, only by your to hit chance.

If i want to play as a chemhead streath is one of the frist things it will effect making heavy BGs usless. Maybe I will go throwing for the granaids and BG. is that rock perk really in fallout 2 or was that a joke? its been a while since i last played.
