Okay so I had this idea of creating a character that specializes in power armor. What I mean by this is, of course, investing in the "Nuclear Physicist", "Heavy Gunner", and "Rifleman". My inital SPECIAL will be; 6147811. This will require me to get the Bobbleheads fairly early on to get some of those important perks, but I'm not concerned about that. My questions are, how feasible do you guys think this is and, how big of a disadvantage do you guys think I'll be at? Most combat will take place in Power Armor. Outside of combat, I'll be a smooth talking businessman.

Cheers!

I've done three power armor focused characters. My last one, Stark, has been by far the most successful. Nine int and five luck for idiot savant for incredibly quick leveling.

Which SPECIAL stat(s) did you cut back on in order to get 5 luck? I could make some adjustments to "Fine tune" the build.

I remember only caring about having enough agility to build the stealth perks. i made sure i had at least 2 in everything else. really with that build the other stats are superfluous in the beginning because you're going to have to spend some levels filling in stat points and also hunting for bobbleheads.

While it doesn't sound appealing I can say that with idiot savant ontop of nine int (later ten with the bobblehead) as well as the You're SPECIAL! book in shaun's room, it was painless.
