Need help creating a char...

FatalError:
Ok questions:

1. Can I have multiple characters? I'm thinking 1 for crafting and 1 for battling.  I think there's a delay for swapping into and out of characters though, right?

2. Is there any really good guide on building characters? I know that there are a couple good posts, but I'm always hesitant to put my stats below 5 but I see everyones build sometimes has really low #'s (like a 1 in Charisma!).  In particular, I want to know if its worth getting the perks that increase the special stats (heavy handed and ?small frame?).  

HertogJan:
1. Yes. Most players have alts. There's a 10 minute pause.

2. Several posts. The perks and professions pages on the wiki might be a bit of help too.

Personally I consider small frame and good natured the best traits, but I don't have a big guns build.
I have alts with stats below 5.
Charisma 1 means you can't talk with all traders or do all quests, but you can put the points in other stats.
Strenght depends on the weapon you want to use (4 might be enough) and if you want to get the weapon handler perk (+3 to strenght for shooting weapons).
Stats in general all depend on the type of character you want to have.
Keep in mind that uneven agility and endurance means you're wasting stats points.
Intelligence below 6 means getting descent skill percentages will be hard.
Agility below 6 (8 action points) is worthless in my opinion.
Luck below 6 might lead to more accidents with weapon handling.

Before creating your character, try some builds using the FOnline:2238 Character Planner.
Better waste some time on that than on a character that turns out not to be what you wanted it to be.
Also be sure to look things like weapon stats up on the wiki.

Even numbered charisma is also a waste of a SPECIAL point.

Very helpful...

Are you saying that Charisma has nothing to do with the number of followers?

The lower, the less slaves, mercs, brahmins, etc.
As I hardly use those, I didn't mention them.
For quests, trading or getting any kind of followeres you could use mentants to temporarily increase your charisma.
