RE: Sniper Carcacter and IN

I'm not sure. what's intelligence have to do with shooting? me point gun, me shoot gun, bullet come out of little end. don't point little end at face. I think you could easly be a good sniper with a very high agility and perception. If you have a perception of 10 then you sould be able to see and hear better. aiming would have to do with agility and how strong your character is. nope can't figure out what intelligence could do for you except make sure your shooting at the right person. I don't think any of the gun skills go up by raising your IN.
 
RE: Sniper Carcacter and IN

If you're making a sniper character, focus on luck, agility and perception. You'll want the perks Bonus Ranged Damage (AG 6, LK 6), Sharpshooter (PE 7, INT 6), and sniper (AG 8, PE 8). Things like Better criticals (great with sniper perk!), Bonus rate of fire and Awareness also make a kickass sniper. Pump up their small guns and energy weapons, give them a sniper rifle and leave them on a high place. Go have a cup of coffee and watch 'em fall.
 
RE: Sniper Carcacter and IN

hehe :)

thats exactly my point.. my snipah has 10PE 10AG 10LUCk ,
more cricticals and sniper perk .. and hes killing. cant imagine what more IN could do for him... but still every damn walkthrough ive read insists on high IN. for example the 2 once posted here on NMA.. guess there just stupid..

anyways.. tnx for clearing that out.
 
RE: Sniper Carcacter and IN

10 perception is a total BS waste.. after around 150% of gun skill, the only limitation you have is depended on the GUN, the gun's range limit is way too short and annoying, I can have 10% at one place, step forward one square and get 95%, only because it's at the limit of the gun's "effective" range.. you can't shoot beyond that range, even at a penalty.. making the game quite boring.. since a Perc10 + sharpshooter shoot just as well as a Perc8 + sharpshooter.. and sharpshooter does have effect to Perc10, just that its effect is quite pointless
 
RE: Sniper Carcacter and IN

Huh? They aren't stupid, they have a point.

With sharp shooter and an intelligence of 6 you don't need 10 perception. You can put those points some place else. With Gifted you'd probably want them in intelligence anyway, to make up for the skill point hit.
 
RE: Sniper Carcacter and IN

Please correct me if I'm wrong but, the 95% you quote is the chance to hit (which can go no higher because there should always be a chance you could miss). But this doesn't necessarily reflect how accurate your shots are. It seems as if I'm consistently scoring more damaging hits now that I have the sharpshooter perk despite the fact that my perception was 10 to begin with. Again, I could be wrong, so if you know better, please enlighten me. Thanks.
 
RE: Sniper Carcacter and IN

You need INT 6 in order to get the sharpshooter perk which adds +2 PER for range modifiers, but by the time you can select the perk at level 9, you should have such a high small gun skill that it won't matter.
