STRENGTH
The Strength requirement for weapons is often ignored in this game. That's because the penalty is easily offset by a higher gun skill, and any character can eventually get their weapon skill to 300 since there is no level cap. A sniper might intend to use a Laser Rifle, which has a ST requirement of 6. But experienced players will usually choose ST 1, even though they will suffer a 100-point penalty to Hit Chance. They simply keep leveling, and raise their Energy Weapons skill 100 points here and effectively get 4 SPECIAL points that way. Those points are needed in Luck anyway, for all snipers.
For standard explorers though, ST 5 is most popular, because it allows the Adrenaline Rush perk. Some people prefer ST 6 though, which allows the Stonewall perk.
PERCEPTION
High Perception is mandatory on a sniper, but for most general explorers, any lower PE works fine. Even PE 1 is okay on a non-sniper PvE explorer. There are some advantages to a PE 1 character:
- Suffers no CH penalty from using Psycho and/or [[beer]
- Is dropped into random encounters very close to NPCs, which is convenient for leveling
- Suffers no CH penalty from using Weak Healing Powders which he can crafted on the fly while leveling
ENDURANCE
Endurance is always 10. The competition between players forces a high priority on Hit Points, so any characters with lower than 10 are truly anomalous.
CHARISMA
Charisma is generally always 1 in this game. Exceptions include:
- A leader character whose intention is to travel with large parties on the map
- Enough CH to meet some quest or dialogue requirement, of which there are few
- A character intended to get 4 Companion followers, which is the maximum.
Even with CH 1, most character can get 2 companion followers, or 3 with Good Natured. If you do want to recruit and lead companion followers though, avoid the Loner trait.
INTELLIGENCE
A high Intelligence is rarely needed in this game, mainly since there is no level cap. IN 4 allows you to get most PvE quests and enables some dialogue options, but Mentats can fix that too.
