This isn't really a quest. No real work involved It's completely optional but it will definitely help you in the long run if you are are planning to be active in side quests. All you have to do is fill out your SPECIAL stats.
Strength: Increase damage done with Melee Weapons (swords, knives, axes, fist weapons, etc)
Percpetion: Increases damage done with traditional firearms. (handguns, shotguns, rifles, etc)
Endurance: Increases hit points
Charisma: Influences how people react to you and treat you.
Intelligence Increases damage done with Energy Weapons (lasers, plasma, etc)
Agility: Increases the damage done from Critical Strikes, increases chance to dodge attacks.
Luck: Increases the chance of landing Critical Strikes and achieving other favorable outcomes.
You start out with 5 points in each stat and have an additional five to spend at your discretion. You may remove up to five points from unwanted stats and allocate it to another.
IMPORTANT
Here's the deal on Charisma, it won't (directly) help you at all in combat but keep in mind the Confirmed Bachelor / Switchblade Romance and Womanizer / Black Widow perks require at least 6 CHR. I'm sure I can add a couple more perks to make CHR worthwhile.
Additionally, more importantly perhaps, later when dialogue branches are introduced into quests, it should definitely have more of an impact.
Final note, it is NOT recommended that you have 10 points in any one perk because many items will increase your Special Stats by a point or two and the max is 10. However, these equipped stats do NOT count towards perk eligibility requirements, so use your better judgement.

Taking 4 points out of Charisma
1 point out of Strength
So ten points to spread.

ETA: Had to do the math to make sure it added up to 40 points :-P0 -
Aha. Brian that's a pretty good spread, especially because you'll have an easier time meeting Perk requirements. I think I would've taken a point out of Charisma and added it to STR. If you're going to specialize, might as well go hard
And Peter....a more specialized spread. He will have a harder time meeting Perk qualification requirements, but he will be proficient in both traditional and energy weapons.
A lot of equipment will have SPECIAL stats attached to them so its not that big of a deal I suppose, however, those do not count towards meeting Perk qualifications.0 -
Honestly, I was debating that. I wasn't sure how much Charisma would play out later in the game, so I tried and stayed pretty even all the way around.0

S - 5 - 2 = 3
P - 5 + 3 = 8
E - 5
C - 5 + 1 = 6
I - 5 + 1 = 6
A - 5 + 2 = 7

With all this being said, You can reroll your SPECIAL stats if you choose
Also, Peter, I'm probably gonna begin rolling out additional perks next week when I have more time. I'll probably add the Hero's Enclave and Item Shop too, but its mostly dependent on what the weigh out attendance looks like and if people are still actively doing side quest. Don't wanna do all that work for nothing :P0 -
Thanks! I think I, for one, am all setWith all this being said, You can reroll your SPECIAL stats if you choose
Again I, for one, will be. And as a side note, I've GMed/DMed in the past and would be happy to help with any little admin crap, if you need. Running a challenge is a big undertaking.I'll probably add the Hero's Enclave and Item Shop too, but its mostly dependent on what the weigh out attendance looks like and if people are still actively doing side quest.

In that case I will re-roll.

Good deal guys, I'll be updating the Armory with your Special stats
@Layla, thanks! You'll definitely be the first I ask if Mark and I get in deep Brahmin pie.
