You get to tag 3 skills. Mathematically speaking, it makes best sense to tag skills that have high limits, like gun skills. It thus is advised not to tag things like Science or Repair since those cannot be raised above 125 anyway, which is not difficult to achieve without tagging.
- Small Guns: Max 300, a good one to tag.
- Big Guns: Max 300, a good one to tag.
- Energy Weapons: Max 300, a good one to tag.
- Close Combat: Max 300 which is overkill in the case of HtH, but still a good one to tag.
- Throwing: Max 300, a good one to tag if you plan to fight this way.
- First Aid: Max 200, yes.
- Doctor: Max 200, yes.
- Sneak: Max 300, yes but only if you plan to really get it to 300, and get Silent Running.
- Lockpick: Max 150, yes if you want to get started hunting lockers loot asap.
- Steal: Max 150, maybe only if you plan to be a thief and get all of the thief perks.
- Traps: Max 150, not a worth tagging. Bump it up without using a tag.
- Science: Max 125, no this one's max is too low, and Books can boost it by 60 points.
- Repair: Max 125, no this one's max is too low, and Books can boost it by 60 points.
- Speech: No. The exception is for initiating Town Control, but this is overkill for a PvP skill.
- Barter: No. The financial advantage from better Barter prices is too weak for this.
- Gambling: No - this skill is not working yet.
- Outdoorsman: Max 175, yes for several reasons:
- To get this to 100 sooner to get Ranger.
- To get this to 150 sooner to get the faster-travel perks: Pathfinder and Explorer.
- To get this to 150 sooner to get Scout which is am amazing advantage on the world map.
- To get this to 175 sooner because you heard you get a slightly greater chance to find the Ruined Military Bunker SE.
