Need advice with my sniper build

(1/5) > >>

aForcefulThrust:
Ok this is my first character... And I'm allready thinking of remaking. I'm trying to go for a sneaky sniper build but I'm not sure how sneak works yet either.. Here's my build.

S - 5
P - 8
E - 4
C - 1
I - 8
A - 9
L - 6

Traits small frame and finesse

Tagged skills small guns, repair, and sneak.

I was originally going for a critical hit build, but i'm getting very annoyed that I can't talk to anyone because "My dad fucked a ghoul". So i'm thinking that i could be better with the 5 points on luck put elsewhere and just doing a non critical build. I'm also very interested in PvP so keep this in mind. If I took the 5 points off luck and went for a non critical version of the build i'd have

S - 5
P - 10
E - 4
C - 3
I - 8
A - 10
L - 1

Traits small frame and bloody mess

What do you guys think? Whats the better build? Would it be worth it to drop sneak for science and becoming a gunsmith? Any advice from you more experienced players is much appreciated :D

theyseemetrollin:
In order to use sneak effectively you need to dump all your points into it and have 10 int. Unless of course you never intend on getting near your target, then you can sneak and snipe away but you'll be found if they get near.

borse:
Created a 3 ch build that you may like.

Assault Class. Uses assault rifles for medium-long range burst attacks. Can have a merc as backup/bait/tank (if you have super mutant).

Traits:
Small frame, good natured
Tagged Skills:
SG, FA, DOC.
Notes:
200 HP, 10 AP, 5% DR w/ no armor, 180 SG, 120 fa, 110 doc, 120 outdoors. You can use aimed shot with hunting rifle, pistols or w/e to train on mutated molerats for leveling. Use assault rifles and FN FALS in pvp. Can pull off 2 bursts at max with range with AR or FN FAL.

Should be a fairly decent starter build.

EDIT: annnnd forget sneak unless you plan on using no armor and having almost all your skill points in sneak.

Thanks for the tips. As of right now I'm lvl 5 and have put points into 4 skills.
I put 8 points into science so I can get a tent eventually..

125% small guns
90% sneak
70% repair
40% science

So far i'm very unsatisfied with repair, any gun i attempt to repair just breaks immediately.
I've also been unsuccessful with sneak, at what % does it become effective? I've read a thread or 2 about sneak being an invisibility spell but I don't see this. Would it be possible for me to get small guns and sneak to a decent level and did I waist points on repair? Am I already screwed as a PvP oriented character?

I'm starting to think I need to start off with a crafter and work my way into a specialized pvp char like i was trying to make now.

I never played fallout 1 or 2 but i wish I did when it came out, this game has me hooked! It reminds me of Ultima Online when it came out.

Michaelh139:
OK, I'm going to enlighten yu with as little text as possible.

Repair, you need at least 200% to repair anything without breaking it, I hope you plan to craft Armor or sth.

Sneak, you need about 250% to sneak at all afaik.

You already screwed as a pvp character really, but you could salvage it for a crafter.
