A sniper build

Str 5
Per 6
End 7
Cha 2
Int 7
Agi 7
Lck 6

Traits: Good natured, kamikaze

Perks: Level 2: Rapid Reload

To get anti material rifle I was going to grab the perk for lowering the str requirement and using an implant to raise str to 6.

My question would be is Rapid reload worth taking or would it be better to grab Intensive training.

Also is Kamikaze worth it or would Built to Destroy be better. Im a little off put by its degradation of equipment rate penalty. Thanks!

For Traits I would have trigger discipline and small frame for a sniper character.

I don't think that you need all this endurance for a sniper build. Some of those points could go to perception, agility, or luck. In my opinion, Rapid Reload is a perk not worth taking. Kamikaze is good if you intend to use V.A.T.S often but Built to Destroy is also good provided you raise your repair skill.

I redid my toon and he is sitting with:
Traits: Built to Destory and Good Natured

ST 5
PE 6
EN 6
CH 3
INT 7
AG 7(8)
LK 6

Starting perks: lvl2 Int training Agility. lvl4 Educated

I wanted to keep at least 6 endurance to get toughness later on and I kept perception at 6 since it does not govern the guns trait at all, and at least in Fallout 3...well it really didn't do much. I'll still get str implant and up my str to 6 and grab Weapon Handling for lower pre req on the Anti Material rifle.
