All special attributes set to ten.

All skills at 100.

Weapons are my bare fists.

Armor is a ranger vet outfit with a extra layer of protection that comes from how awesome it looks.

And implants? *Flexes bicep and flashes award winning smile* Do I look like I need any implants?

Oh and fyi, this is all before I leave Goodsprings.

So, basically, half of a Centurion on the day he is born? :spotted owl:

Or about 75.6 times what a Talon merc is in his prime
