Post any ideas you have for new perks here. Also any perks you think should be changed/thrown out.
Also include a approx. level you could get it at.

Fast Reload
Lvl 9
This allows you to only use 1 ap for reloading. For thing like the magnum speed load... perhaps make it cost 0 ap to reload?

Double Hander
Lvl 15
This allows you to use 2 weopons at once. The overall accuracy is lowered by 1/4 of the normal skill. Also only 2 of the same weopons can be used (small guns, energy or big guns).

Electronic Lockpicking
Lvl 6
This allows you to pick electronic locks without using electronic lockpicks. This also increases lockpick by 20%

Skillfull
Lvl 6
This gives you 20 skill points to use right now, and adds +2 skill points per level after taking this. This may be taken up to 4 times.

Im trying to think of more non-combat onces, as there are very little non-combat ones that are actually usefull (my favourite is probablly empathy out of them).

hey, that was MY idea! =]

i think....
 
Actually, that's kinda been many people's idea ever since they first played FO1...

"Wouldn't It Be Nice If Everyone Would Just Die?"
 
Power Loader
Lvl 21
This allows you to fit more ammo into a weapon's magazine than seems physically possible. Just like some misc action movie, your gun never seems to run out of ammo, defying all reality. This perk lets you hold 2x the normal amount of ammo in a weapon.

Tell me how you expect to weild two miniguns at once?

Other than that... the list ain't bad.

Try some of these on for size:

Jury Rig
A different form of repair/science skill, it's a perk that you can take to hotwire/fix something temporally before the system/machine/computer/etc. breaks down or blows up. "You do not have enough technical skills to do it, but somehow you manage to get it to work, albeit just barely."

Chemistry
I think this was supposed to be in FOII, but they just didn't have the time to put it in. You can create your own medicine, drugs and etc.., or harden that APA yourself with appropriate materials and equipments. Of course, you probably need high science skills to get it in the first place. "It's Myron, baby, Myron!"

Small Arms/Big guns/Energy weapon tech.
You can only get the perk only if you have high enough repair/science/(and the style of weapon in question) skills to get this perk. You can fix or upgrade the weapon in question to suit your needs.(Sometimes I feel the guns should jam more often in the game, bec. if I abuse my guns like that realistically, there is no way they would work that well.) Customized weaponry has always been a hobby of mine in p&p rpgs. For instance, you need to protect someone discreetly, and you can't openly carry fire arms, so you outfitted you SMG into a suitcase, then when trouble comes, all you need to do is push a button, the suitcase will split into two halves with the bullet chamber at the bottom and the muzzle at the top. Mm...., turbo pulse rifle, mm..., M72B assault gauss rifle, mm...., magneto gatling laser.(well, I can dream:)) "Finally, a gun worthy of your metal, you just hope that it can still shoot after you are done with it." (Don't worry, Skeeter is the one taught you all he knows.;-))

No offence to the guy who came up with electronic lockpick skill, I think there maybe a different approach to this particular problem.

Security Systems(Expert)
It can be a skill or a perk. The basic idea is that it combines all of the previous skills needed to break/hack into or open something that you needed to use. It's probably better as a skill. If you have a low %, you can only open certain locks, or force open some electronic locks, but with a high skill %, you can shut down the whole system, or turn the system against the owner. "If they build it, you will come.":)

A more active form of use for speech skill/perks:
Etiquette: your ability to mingle with the upper crust has earn you a position of respect and status even though you are just a commoner.
Intimidate: By sheer force of your will or your voice, you are able to get others to agree with you, even if they don't want to.
Interview: You have the ability to gather information from others effectively without them realizing it.

Streewise
A perk. You have the knowledge and the ability to blend in just about anywhere. The pimps, bums, and other everyday people feel you are just like one of their own.

A more useful form of Karma Sutra Master
If you have the perk, and you manage to land one in bed, you can get them to tell you anything then having them begging for more.;-) Combine with high speech skill, you can talk anybody of the oppside sex into doing anything for you. "69?! Ha! Let me show you the 96!"

A new addiction: Sex
You are more than a giglo, you are addicted! If you don't have any sex in 36 hrs, you will suffer severe withdraw syndrom that is similar to jet addiction.:)

The new addiction would be hilarious. We'll need a female NPC then to, uhm, be able to keep you from going could turkey. So that you could keep your addiction in check on long desert runs. What would be the pro and cons of having a sex addiction then ? I would like to see that explained.

Pros: You will need the addiction to get the Karma Sutra Master II, and with it you don't need a high speech skill to seduce the members of the oppside sex into just about anything. You even manage to solve VC's problem for genetic scarsity by staying in there for one month, thus saving Gekko from destruction."When it comes to doing the dirty, you not only wrote the book, you star in the movie.";-)

Cons: Severe withdraw syndromes. If you don't have sex in 36hrs, your privat parts and testicles will start to swell in size in the same way that a mother's breasts do after giving birth, because of the over production of sperm/hormones.(If anyone remember their biology class, you will know that if the mother doesn't give milk soon when she needs to, well, pressure can really feel like a p'inata:D) If you continue to ignore the symptoms, after 72hrs, you'll get a on going erection that just won't go down, and the over production of hormones will start to affect your stats and skills. The first to go is STR and related skills, all that blood going to one place can't be good for you.:) Second is PER, for some reason, you have trouble shooting anything walking on two legs. Third is AGI, hmm, I wonder why I am having trouble bending over?;-) Fourth is INT, all the anatomical parts in you biology manual seems so desirible right now. The only thing that isn't affected is your END, with your body pump up with so much testosterone, and adrenaline, you just want to keep on going and going... and going.:D If after all these you still don't get a fix or treatment, then you will have one of the worst problems around. After 84hrs without sex, even the mere thought of sex can make you come, but your hard on still won't go down for any means. You will attempt to ride anything with a hole in it, been so demented with the hormonial imbalance. Your conversation with any member of the oppside sex, no matter what kind, will turn instantly into a corny pick up line.:D You even manage to find a new use for the ball gag. Well, if you go any farther without treatment, I don't want to think about it......

The only cure for the addiction is -
To find a special female sex therapist and seduce her into marrying you, thus giving you a constant fix with some spice.:D

I don't like the idea of being able two carry two "Big" guns at once, I mean, you would need lots and lots of strength.
 
ROFLMAO

'Second is PER, for some reason, you have trouble shooting anything walking on two legs.'

ROFL, ROFL, ROFL. It would seem to me that you wouldn't have trouble 'shooting' anything that walks on two legs. New weapon maybe ?

'You will attempt to ride anything with a hole in it'
Can you say YEEEEEEEEEECH.

Really, this is very good material.

Hahahahaha!

This strikes me as a cross between Johnny Dangerously and Orgasmo.

"Getting to know your testicles..."

"Cock Rocket!"
 
Actually the idea came to me when I was organizing my anime jpg pic files. There is this one anime called "City Hunter". The main character is a private eye who has an unusually high sex drive. Whenever he's around beautiful woman/women, and his partner aren't there to control his sexual desires, his "member" will swell up to the size of a ballon animal.:D Check it out, it's a riot.

I just got another idea for the cure.
The only people who have enough education to become a sex therapist is from the pre-war era. But all the people from those times are dead, ghouls, or super mutants. So, unless you really feel like using that ball gag..., there is a second option. There is another left over AI from the pre-war era survived that was dedicated to the reaserch of the consciousness. Its name was "FantasyNet". So in order to cure this addiction, you will need to track down this AI, and find the parts for it like Skynet. The problem is that you will need special enhancements for robot, like a full sensory input suit, or something that vibrates....;-)Now, the special enhancement is depending on your science/repari skill on what you can install into the robot.(just picture the robot in the movie Heavy Metal 2000, was it good for you?;-)) For those with low skills, there maybe a problem.:D Whenever you need your fix, all you need to do is to plug in, and have a go on the merry go around. To totally cure the addiction, you will need 1-3months down time where "FantasyNet" can slowly decrease your dependence on sex. You can even form a club call "SA", stands for "Sexualholics Anonymous". There is a weekly meeting for all those suffering from this terrible condition in the New Reno pornagraphy studio where you shoot your latest hits.

There is more pros for the addiction:
You will make $1200-3000 more dollars every 1-3 month for shooting your latest porno film. "PochaHotass", and "Jimmy's got a gun", can not compare to your latest hit, "My girlfriend is a Robot from outer space!", or "Sex with a robot, it's better than the real thing!".:D

Got more idea for a cure?

With the double hander, you should also be able to wield two knives, the better to chop them with.
 
Forget Power Loader, you need Rambo: when you wield big guns, you NEVER run out of ammo, the chain just seems to flap around and never actually travel through the gun!!!! Yeah!

Disregard this idea, it was just to poke fun at teh idea of cramming more ammo into a gun.
 
Intimidation:

4 levels:

Lvl 15: Your bloodshot stare can sure get those children out of your way!

Lvl 18: You can scare starving dogs away with your growl.

Lvl 21: The weaker-willed humans are definitely inferior to your superior intimidating powers.

Lvl 33: You can stare down vicious animals.
 
Diseased
Lvl 30
You have been infected!!! Fortunately for you, you're like that monkey from the movie outbreak that can live with the illness that causes everyone else to cough up their intestines, blood and other biological matter while bleeding profusely through the pores of their skin. Anything you come in contact with lives for about 20 seconds then dies.
 
Hmm.., the cure idea seemed to be more funny after starving for sleep for 2 days, and watching one of those corny 70s "Orgasmo" style movies. Don't Ask....:D

Here is a new addiction I just thought up:

Bloodlust
You are not just another Childkiller, oh, no, you are addicted to it! The killing that is. You must kill someone or something every 48hrs, otherwise you'll suffer terrible withdrawn syndromes similar to buffout/psycho addictions.
