Can i gain any points for S.P.E.C.I.A.L by level up?

[GaChiMuChi_Taisuki]

I am new to this game, just raise my character to level 2 and find that no points for special. Start worrying if i need to create a new character or not.

You can take the perk "Intense Training" for 1 more point, though you can only do it ten times and you forego getting another perk. There are bobbleheads to find that raise them by another point, 1 for each stat. There is gear that can raise certain SPECIAL as well, glasses for example riase perception by 1. You do not gain extra SPECIAL points by leveling.

There's no bobbleheads in new vegas

Oh my mistake, must have been a mod I used then, it has been a while since I played NV.

Yes you can add special points via the intense training perk, you get a perk every two levels in new vegas.

Later on in the game, you'll find a little medical clinic where you can buy implants, which will increase the SPECIAL of your choice by one

Thanks. So after beginning’s setting, i can only earn 2 points for special in the entire game? That i guess i need to restart my game, i put all the points in charisma lol

Charisma can get you pretty far, a good amount of fights can simply be avoided though speech.

That was my idea but maybe not a must to invest all 5 points into it in the beginning? lol

no, you can get the intense training perk 10 times (not a good idea unless you need the points to get a specific perk)

you can get multiple implants, the amount of which is determined by your endurance

How many endurance can get 1 implant?

It's is 1 Endurance per implant and there is a total of 9 implants. 1 for each SPECIAL and then 2 bonus ones, one gives you natural armor and the other regenerates hp over time. If you take the endurance implant you can then take another because it give you +1 endurance and therefore another slot making it essentially free.

If you just put the points into Charisma and left everything else at 5 it doesn't matter that much, you might want a few points later for certain perks, but starting out it is fine.

If you do end up remaking your character I'd say intellect is the most important stat, it give more skill points upon level up.

Luck is also quite good in this game because of the Casino's, which can give you a decent boost in caps if you clean them out. The implants are not cheap, you'll have a ton of caps later on to buy them but early on it isn't as easy, so the casino's can help there.

Charisma is pretty pointless in this game. It's okay for companions, but not much else.
You can set it to 1, use the stat points for something more useful, then dump skill points into the Speech skill instead, and still be a god with speech checks early on.
Honestly, Barter is useless too. You'll be swimming in more loot than you can sell in no time.

early on , some Barter skill is good, cause you do run pretty much "hand to mouth" for the first 6 to 8 levels, and careful. planned use of the magazines helps tremendously

The boost from the Endurance implant specifically does not do this. Intense Training boosts work, though.

Good to know, seems a bit strange honestly. I guess I figured it always worked that way.
