Mentats give PE.
« on: April 14, 2011, 12:09:55 am »

Why not?  Right now they are literally the most useless drug on the server.  The only useful thing is Charisma and it still isn't worth it unless your a leader + unless you wanna keep up with mentats all the time (as with any drug ofc).

Meby +1-2 PE?

I like Cocain's idea better. Make them improve Barter/Speech, as well as the current benefits.

-1 Intelligence if addicted isn't that bad, so this could be a disadvantage.

Give a useless drug more useless bonuses?  I'm not following.

The drug speeds mental processes, so a +PE or Agility would make sense, which just so happens sticks to fallout canon, while making the drug useful.  -1 Ap and -1 Agility could be the drawbacks if addicted.

I'd prefer them to increase Barter/Speech/Perception rather than Charisma. Using them to be able to carry around mercs that you can't talk to is kind of ridiculous.

Oh man, totally forgot about that. Do we still need those trader charisma restrictions? How about just inflated prices?

For nothing more than either talking to npc (Ch 1) or taking a profession.  Besides, I didn't say if they were used or not.  I said they are most useless drug on server.  :P

Yeah why not ? Why couldn't you trade if your ugly , if you got the caps everyone would accept your hideous face and weird personality.

For example rise the charisma requirement for all traders to 4 and everything would " inflate " as the charisma drops. Like 3 charisma +10%/15%$$ , 2 charisma +20%/30%$$ , 1 charisma +30%/45%/50%$$ i can't tell the magic number :) After wipe the caps will be more scarce so I believe this could work just fine.

People make alts for everything.So what is the point of increasing speech /barter skills?

I must agree with Michaelh mentats are most useless drugs on server they should add PE/AG instead INT which is useless .
