Do you want to focus on one weapon type and use combat or do you want to be more diplomatic? Then raise that IN so you have enough points to make sure you can convince anyone about anything. Do you want to avoid combat for the loads of speech challenge XP? Don't even think under 6 CH, but 10 can be a great early boost with good natured trait.

Do you want to sneak a lot? Then moderate AG is needed (although a sneaky build without weapon choice is almost purely a question of perks and skills), and tons of IN to reach sneak 80 ASAP. DO you want to have fast or slow but heavy-hitting weapons (regardless of category)? Former needs at least 8 LU, latter needs none. Do you want to use melee/unarmed? Go for 6-7 ST. That was my most successful build so far… Originally posted by Vassago Rain:The only way to ♥♥♥♥ up your stats in new Vegas is to put like 10 points into charisma, and try to run a strength 2 character.
