Replace CH3 Check
I enjoy the concept of needing a check in order to trade/talk, although it is one of the worst things that promote alts.
My issue is with a special check, as special is not cuszomizable. What i mean by this is we know the perks we need in wasteland so it dictates our specual and theres not much room to really flesh out a chracter with a dynamic role.

Currently, if you are not strong enough or have low perception, you can invest skill points gained from intelligence to balance out this gap in order to gain a good ToHit%.
This is not the case for Talking, and i dont see why not.

The new mechanic:
What i am suggesting is to replace the CH check with a speech check, some core mechanics would need to change for balance reasons however.
CH 3 now starts with 15% speech due to the formula speech = 5xCh Note: Wiki says 25% + (2% x Charisma), but this forumlar was from observing the FCP
So this would be the check, if you had 15% speech you could talk to people, if you did not have CH 3 you could invest SP into speech.
The problem here is a balance issue, obviously putting 10 sp for the ability to talk with CH1 is imbalanced compared to old system.

So change the formular to Speech = 30xCh (or something abit more clever), this way, one would need to invest 60 SP to charm the NPC into trading/quest giving. (or some other balanced number, this is not really important for conceptualizing the idea)
Mentats and beer would be an issue but there may be a work around (suggestions?).
The main thing i wanted to bring up is that special checks are not very effective in the multiplayer RPG realm because there very fixed. Skillpoints, we have hundreds of, and can distribute them a little bit easier. 


edit: formatting.

Stration:
That's not a bad idea at all, although I must admit I somehow can't think of a single situation where it would be useful.

Senocular:
I like it, just not 60 skill points but less. 60 SP is 10% of total skill points you can get with 10 INT and Skilled Trait. It intends to help builds with 1CH which in most cases are powerbuilds and those can't let themselves waste 60 SP. It should be an OPTION - so you can either get 3CH or raise your speech skill.

Chrupek:
There was better suggestions already: new perk +2 Charisma, just for bartering charisma test. Of course perk from the group of non combat perks.
