But I was thinking of getting a Sniper Rifle.
But are you saying that I should have 5 or 6 ST? That kinda gimps my other SPECIALS, no? :/
I dunno how I would do that and still have a viable sniper build.
But I would appreciate it if you could give me some pointers :)

Oh my god,a smart newbie!Please feel free to ask for my help!
BTW,5 strenght is for sniper rifle (SG) requirement,while 6 is for plasma,laser rifles.(EW)
I generally love to save some point from strenght by using pistols in my sniping builds.But that s only a matter of taste.( a better choice for pve char in my opinion)
just remember in pure,brutal pvp,sniper rifle and crazy crits are best.

Well, thanks :P
And since you're offering I will!
So, you're saying if I want to carry a SG Sniper Rifle I would need 5 ST. Should I recur to drugs?
Or should I put the SPECIAL points in ST and use other drugs to help with my other SPECIALS?

Glad it's helpful ;)
--- Quote ---About the mentats. Where would I be able to get them? Should I craft them? are they abundant?
--- End quote ---
Well, in the wiki there is a list of traders, you can buy Mentats from merchants who trade "Drugs". Also notice that this list tells you which ones need 3 charisma and which ones need only 1 charisma. It's very useful.
--- Quote ---What about the perk Action boy? shouldnt I get it?
--- End quote ---
In FOnline, you gotta behave like a filthy capitalist with your builds ;) Action boy is kind of a "waste" if you want an efficient PvP build, because there is Jet for that. So no, don't take Action Boy, because perks like More Critical will be better for your sniper.
--- Quote ---Oh, and the perk weapon handling, I dont get it at all :-\ what does it do exactly?
--- End quote ---
All weapons got a Strength requirement and if your STR is lower than that you get a penalty, right? well Weapon Handling gives you a +3 STR bonus which only works for wielding weapons. The laser rifle needs 6 STR, so you make a build with 3 STR + Weapon Handling = "6 STR"

If it's a PvP build, you shoudl think about your "signature weapon" :P if you want to use the Sniper Rifle, I recommend 2 STR, or 1 STR (especially if you're using Jet). Of course, Weapon Handling is a must.
If you go for 1 STR, you might consider not taking Small Frame, because otherwise you won't be able to carry many items.
Oh, and in case you didn't know, you can use Opera's Character Planner to save some time.

I didn't know about that! Very useful indeed.

Hmm, I see your point.

Ahh! Now I get it! forgive my noobiness ;D

I get it. But, wouldn't that severely hinder my carry weight? And wouldn't that be substantially bad for a new come player? (You see my doubts here? I don't have a main wastelander that can supply me with caps and drugs, hehe.)

Yeah, that's what I used :)
Eternauta:
If you go for 1 STR (or 2 STR and Jet), you might want to work on a build without Small Frame, otherwise you won't be able to carry anything. But 1 STR and Jet is way better for sniper.
Oh and about buying the mentats, you will get them faster if you craft an insane amount of weak healing powders and sell them directly to The drug dealer. From drug dealer, you will be able to buy Buffout as well, and it might be useful to carry stuff around, but of course the AGI penalty would suck if you get into battle, and I don't know if the possible addiction gives you -1 action point, which would suck as well.
Once again, good luck man ;)
