My main concern is how often is my health really at 50% (or below) but its kinda hard keeping followers alive on hardcoe

I think it's pretty terrible, compared to the other sweet ones you can get.

I play on normal though so...

I'd only take it for hardcoe...

ok, so far that isn't really helpful. Does it signifigantly increase the likelyhood Boone or Veronica will survive heavier gunfire?

I have it, playing on hardcoe. I dont know if it has saved Veronica very often because she now wears the remnants armor, but I just think of it as a backup plan.

hmm...so is it even necessary then. I've got it in a toss up between FL and shotgun surgeon

The thing is, (if I remember correctly) *your* health has to be below 50% before it kicks in. I am playing on hardcoe (normal difficultly) and that doesn't happen very much.

see, that's what i thought as well. I always had a crippled limb or two but because you had to eat and drink my health was rarely below 75%

That realization enabled me to reduce my Charisma to 4 (I still want solid companions) and not worry about getting that particular perk (which requires Charisma of 6).

that's rather funny...that is exactly what i lowered mine too for the same reasoning - and I didn't want to be a creepy undertaker lol

I think i'll use this perk spot for something else.

My stats are:
S P E C I A L
6 4 5 4 8 8 5

With Four Eyes trait and hat my P is at 6. With one level of Intense training my Luck is also at 6. Starting over today I would do things perhaps a little differently, but this is working more than well enough for me.

It's a good one if you have melee companions .. stay at <50% hp so it kicks in, companion goes in to "tank" and you clear things up.
Good one for cqc i think (vaults, caves etc) or if you are more of a non combat oriented char.

I think i read somewhere that it gives companions 50% DT .
