Did I phrased that sentence wrong?

I did. I fixed it.

traits:
thick headed - +4 DT; -1 INT & -1 CHA
city-slicker - more comfortable around cities/towns: +1 CHA & +1 LUC as well as decreased needs while in towns/cities; -1 CHA & -1 LUC and increased needs in the wilderness
chicken legs - increased movement speed, increased leg damage and crippling
smoker - +2 CHA while carrying cigarettes; -1 END permenantly, and -1 CHA when low on cigarettes

perks:
meltdown - change to only plasma weapons
mutate! - change/remove/add a trait
hillbilly chrome - (requires jury rigging), with masterful use of duct tape, equipment can be repaired with just duct tape.
double yield! - fatman damage and radius increased 25%
triple yield! - fatman explosion replaced with megaton-esque explosion effect, damage and radius increased 50%

I'd like to see some of the call of duty perks added.

Rocket Scientist - 90 Science, 90 explosives; can combine high explosive and high velocity missile in a new missile type; all missiles do 20% more damage.
Trickshot - 8 luck; 100% chance to hit weapons and disarm opponents

I want Skilled back but It would have to be changed. Getting four more skill points per turn would add to making my character over powered to fast. I just want it so I can have perks every three levels insted of every two.

Gifted
All SPECIAL is raised by 1 point but your skills are all decreased by 20 points.


20 points? Damn. I don't think that'd be worth it.

The amount of skill points we're given I don't think it really matters. (Especially with the new cap (50 (If you're going to use it or cap at 30 with a trait.)))

No I just think it's interesting making something Ice Cold from a campfire :tongue:

I am not sure if this is the right place for this suggestion but i read a post awhile back that was concerned with OPness with the new level cap and what to do to prevent an overpowered character. It hit me as i got up this morning for work, taking personal inventory of my body trying to acertain what is and is not going to work today or how effective what is working is going to be, and how much shall i need to compensate for the various age related drop in performance that comes with being a 45 year old man. What if the character has no choice to level it is something that is inevitable. Now take this and run with it, so that as the character levels they still have the same amout of skill points to spread around but to add some wear and tear elements to the PC, breathe a little reality into the world (completely optional mind you like hardcoe mode) that player looses some points at random from skills.

For example a player at level 35 still gets thier 15 points (there or abouts just to keep it simple) but when they go to place those skills they look and see that thier gun skill which was at 100 has dropped to 97, the player can of course add the 3 points lost to raise it back to 100. So taking this idea and going further with it from level 35 to 40 the player will not loose more that 3 total points, from levels 41 to 45 the player looses 5 total points, and finally from 46 to 50 the player looses 7 total points per level. How many attrition points the playter looses is based upon, cripple events, rad exposure, stim packs used, chems used so that the more damage and more chems the player uses/takes earlier in the game will reflect back later in the more points at leveling the player will have to make up.

Now deepen the skill tree just a bit like having some crafted items be a combination of base skills. For example to make .50 MG hand loads one would need 100 in repair and lets say 30 in explosives. So as you progres past 35 if one is a serious reloader if either of those skills drops past 100 repair and 30 explosives the player could no longer craft that ammo. The player could as i said replace the points attrition removes from thier level total to keep the ability to craft that ammo.

Just an idea from the peanut gallery

Amen to slow lerner. I use Slow Learner (35% of xp) from a mod. I have a few mods that add extensive content and increase monster spawns and found that perk to be neccessary.

Trait: Tricky Tummy. You get more from beans, chilli and beer but sometimes fart while sneaking. I doubt anyone would take it but it would be funny.

Perk: Catch! If the player has high enough appropriate skill and/or the right explosives/melee/unarmed perks they can catch and throw back a grenade. Maybe a bonus chance based upon weather they have a catchers mit in their inventory.

Or! Or! Or! - Out Of The Park / Home Run. If they are wielding a golf club or baseball bat or nail covered club and a grenade is being thrown at them they can smack it right back at the thrower before it goes off.

The player would have to use VATS to do either of these. They would both require new anims.

Some kinda lasso somptin might be cool. A lasso weapon with associated perks. can hold a person like a temporary crippling of legs and or arms. Can knock someone down like a fatigue loss.

While I'm straying off the subject, has anyone mentioned whips?
