Night Person and the permanent ability increase

N

Neuromancer

First time out of the vault
sorry if I am making a double post, i used the search button too, but i could not find any answer to my question (maybe i just overlooked the results - they were many :? )

ok my main question is about the trait, called Night Person from Falluot 1.

i know that the skill point/level formula is this: 5 + (Intelligence * 2)

not, at game start if i raise Intelligence to 10, than take the Night Person trait, then i would get 9 IN at day and 11 at night.
if i happen to level up at night, will i get 5+(11*2)=27 skill points, or the maximun Intelligence modifier in this formula is 10?

like if so, i have maxed IN at start, then took Night Person and then i raise IN at the brotherhood.
would mean i have 10 IN at day and 12 IN at night?
and if so, would i get 5+(12*2)=29 skill points per level if i take the level up at night?

thank you for your patience, and sorry if i posted in the wrong forums or double posted
 
i could be wrong, because i cant be arsed to look it up, but i believe all SPECIAL are capped at 10.
 
It's correct what the above user stated. Even if you can technically achieve a higher statpoint value than 10, it wont be to any use for you. Why would you want to receive so many skillpoints anyway? With only 20 points per level you'll be able to build your skills high enough to do everything Fallout has to offer.
 
I think SPECIAL stats are capped at 10 (and at a minimum of 1, because in Fallout 2 if you have 1 CH and get ear bitten off / get 2nd degree implant and lose 1 CH, you still have 1 CH. But if you then take Gain Charisma or surgery, you still have 1 CH)

I suppose it works the same with the upper cap, but it doesn't hurt to try.
 
ok, i have just tried a few days after the question was asked :wink:
when you create the character, if any of the SPECIAL goes above 10 is is shown red, and when you start a game, you will loose the overflow, as it goes back to 10

and about the night person, if you level up during noght, you will get that extra 4 skill points
