never got to edit it myslf a bit, have some more useful data to put into it...

I'll add a bit more [but a bit offtopic]. I did try the char with this skills, works bad ;/

i suggest you to take awarness and toughnes(es), pathfinder(s) for perks, int~8-9 (to have some extra skillpoints for experimenting), outdoorsman and maybe repair skill or first aid for first character, pick build that you like, it can be not best or ideal at lvlcap but you its easier to grasp game mechanic with {more skills, fast traveling, knowing hp/armour/weaps, bit-harder-to-kill-by-rats} character.

^ I agree with him.
With awareness you can see enemies healths and you can run, if they have too much hp and bad weapons.
With Toughness you get more protection against bullets/normal attacks. (with x2 you get 4/10% even without armor)

Just put valuable items to tent (if you have).

Anyways I've been doing pretty well with it, lvl 19 so far.  Its brutal with damage and the mercs n slaves soak up plenty damage to make up for not having any toughness perks, and I don't normally have to worry about getting killed too easily because you'll end up with 200 hp.

P.S. Its good on its own but I made the build to be a nuka cig and jet addict.

Further addenum to the looting whilst npcs are still around. Even just looking, not taking stuff in a corpse makes em hostile.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. My character so far is 6/7/5/3/6/8/6 with small frame and good natured. Making him a crafter / gatherer and I'll try for a more combat orientated guy once I've sorted him out. Awareness & More crits so far as perks, I'm thinking maybe taking an extra point in perception and that +2 perc one so he rounds out as a sniper.

I don't get these posts.

He asked for advice on coping with the loss of his items, and he gets a bunch of character builds?  A few of which are powerbuilds?

Just get a tent, and when you go hunting, only bring a gun, some low-tier armor, and some extra ammo, but not all of it.

I agree.  If you lose your 10 hides, try again.  Make the tent right near NCR, maybe a little south or west.  I hope you can run from rats and scorpions.  Use turn-based instead of realtime, its easier starting out.  And for your first guy, don't make a powerbuild.  Make a crafter.  Small guns or Armorer probably.  The xp isn't huge, but it adds up.
