Fallout Fallout 1-2 builds

[Average Manatee]

I recall reading that the melee damage stat only improves your max damage, so it's only half that on average. In other words mostly useless

You get to carry more loot though.

Heavy Handed and Bonus HtH Damage don't stack.

???

EDIT: Just loaded my Fallout 2 and checked my saves. Definitely still 9 despite both Heavy Handed and Bonus HtH Damage.

Hmm yea same here, it's probably a Sfall thing though I don't know exactly what.

The build planner now supports FO, FO2, FO:T, FO3, and FNV!

Check out the new version and link your builds!

My last fun builds in FO1:

Big Guns + Throwing (focused on Flamethrower)
Max Luck Unarmed + Jinxed (enemies drop their weapons, you don't).
Fast Shot Melee Weapons (Fast Shot doesn't work with melee in FO2; it can get way OP, in any case).

Bonus hth dmg perks would be largely useless either way. The ranged ones are OK for auto weapon builds and that's it.

IN10 + LK10 + Skilled: you can have funny skills, combat armor, the weapon of your choice and whatever else money can buy at level 3.

Grug grug?

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

10 Strength and 90% unarmed, and stealth, and you only hit it for 2 points of damage?

The online Fallout Character Planner now supports XenForo custom embedd via BBCode for people who wants to share their builds. There are instructions on how to activate it here: https://github.com/mythril/nwcp/blob/dev/documentation/EMBEDDING.md#bbcode

Could you look into it?

Grugs on drugs, final stats on Mentats...

Using drugs to increase your AP defeats the whole purpose of playing a 3AP GRUG character though...

Bare-handed + Jinxed is the way to play Fallout 2. So much fun.

I dont see how its fun to hit stuff for 5 dmg when enemies are HP sponges in Fallout 2.

When it comes fo Jinxed trait I think many players dont understand how it works. Luck does nothing to prevent bad things that will happen to you. Way it works is, lets say you have 95% chance to hit to prevent jinxed from ruining you, there is still 5% chance that you will miss attack and will roll with 50% chance to something bad happen. This automatically makes it bad because this will also apply to joinable NPC's.

That's right.
But there is a certain degree of fun to be had seeing Enclave troopers critically miss and destroying their Gauss and Pulse pistols.

The point isn't to make the most effective build in combat. The point is that running all around a battlefield with high AC, punching raiders in the crotch while everybody is constantly critically failing is hilarious. It's a very fun build to play even if it's far from optimized.

Jinxed mess with your crit tables, lowering them to the minimum, crit chances influence critical rolls, so luck does help, what helps even more is getting better crits at L9-12

you will definitively feel if you start a jinxed Build with Lck1 compared to Lck10.
And as said before, its a fun build and everyone should try it atleast one time. theres Bad rolls you wont even see in the normal game but are hilarious to find out about using Jinxed

I don't think luck improves crits aside from 1% crit per point (which is kind of a joke when an eye shot adds +80%, and slayer makes it 100%), and unlocking the better crits perk. If a lu1 and lu10 characters both score a crit without better crits I think it's the same chance for everything?
