perk sharing bugged???

[TTVChosenRodent]

i just got the legendary perk to raise my charisma. currently i have 9 charisma showing in my perk card screen. i should be able to share a 3 star perk with my team. but it's not letting me... "you need at least 3 points of charisma for each perk point of the card to be shared".

3 x 3 is 9 right?!?! so why isn't it letting me share a 3 star card if i have 9 charisma????

am i wrong about something or is it just bugging out??? i already tried quitting to the main menu and server hopping. still the same issue. am i going to have to report this to bethesda?

each point in a card takes three Charisma, yes, but S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points (Charisma) from either shared buffs, buffs, or legendary cards do not count towards sharing.
(The 5 total points you can get from maxing the Legendary for charisma will not count towards sharing)

thanks for clarifying. i've played for a while and i had no idea that legendary perks didn't count towards sharing.

Legendary specials can count towards perk sharing but not the charisma legendary itself.

If you want to have more points in charisma for sharing perks pick a different legendary special and then use the punch card machine to move those extra points over to charisma. Example: 5 points of strength you do not need from strength to charisma.

The perk sharing from charisma only works from your base charisma value. Not any extra charisma points from the charisma legendary perk or from items giving +1 or food buffs etc.

Also sadly there is no way to scrap a legendary special and get those coins back. I am not a fan of this as you cannot try things out for yourself. Once you spend the coins you are stuck.

Way back in the Wastelanders update any source of additional charisma was made not to allow perk sharing (Chems, food, gear etc.).

When the legendary perks were added later they inherited the same restriction.
