    I guess I'll get Fortune Finder since my Special stats are all wonky plus I'm poor.

    Those are good perks, B. However, it is strongly recommended you take Double Trouble as soon as possible since it will speed up your exercises and advanced battles by a considerable amount. You can always go back and pick up those other perks when you level up later.

    Swift Learner is another good one especially if you have a [Togepi].

    Finally, Confirmed Bachelor and Black Widow can be a game changer in certain quests. Womanizer and Switchblade Romance too but to a lesser extent since there will probably be less female NPCs.

    Just some pointers for everyone :P

    Actually, I debated on those two, but decided to go a different route. They more than likely will be the next ones I go after though. I figured right now it would be better to go with what I did because of the help with damage and the ability to get a better weapon quicker. I really need to start letting other people go first, so I can get the pointers beforehand, LOL.

    OK, I got yall down.

    Peter, as a one time courtesy for you. I shall lower the requirement for CB...so you can get your boy-on-boy flirt on. And let me know what your new SPECIAL stats are because it still requires 6 CHR.

    My three ladies are free to change their choices as well in accordance to the new level requirements.
