All,

I'm making a Rootin' Tootin' Cowgirl character with high luck who is into Shotguns, Rifles and Explosives. I'm specifically avoiding any VATS-related Perks, though I will use VATS. I'm trying to take only Perks that feel "in character" to me. So this will certainly be a sub optimal build.

My problem is that I decided I'd like to fit in Jury Rig, but I dont have room in my Perk progression. I'm hoping someone can talk me out of one of my other Perks. I'm not looking to being talked into other stuff, hopefully. I am more or less absolutely rigid on my choices through level 16 and I'm not looking to change. I want max explosive damage ASAP, and I'll need Weapon Handling for a few of the larger items I intend to wield. After that, from 18-30, all my perks are selected because they feel "in character" and/or fit with explosions conceptually (increasing radius, making me avoid AOE damage and traps, letting my companions survive my indiscretions, etc).

Help?

Thanks in advance!

Light Step is the one I was leaning towards dropping also.

I'm open to other suggestions also, but thats the way I am leaning.

Thanks!

Light step or spray'n'pray.

I agree, a Rootin' Tootin' Cowgirl doesn't need that perk.

OK then. Light Step is axed from the plan.

Thanks everyone!
