What would be a good build for an experienced veteran?

[RyD]

Hey guys! What would you say is a good build for a veteran like Nate? I'm looking particularly for something that would emulate the real rank of Sergeant Major or Command Sergeant Major. This is assuming that Nate saw some pretty grisly combat in Alaska and/or Yangtze. Any ideas?

That would really depend on what branch he was in. Assuming he was in the infantry and fallout's US army doesn't do things in too radically different a manner than the real world US army, pretty sure he'd be using the same weapons as everyone else. So put points into rifleman or commando per your preference. Probably inspiring leader since he was a commander I suppose.

Alright, that's a start, but what special stats would I invest in? Beginning game, mid game, and end game I understand would look a bit different.

And yes, he was infantry. 108th Infantry Regiment to be exact. 2nd Battalion.

High strength and endurance for sure. Probably decent perception and charisma. It really depends honestly. There's no rule that says an NCO HAS to be smart or charismatic, it just helps.

If you wanted to roleplay one who'd been retired a while, I'd say high perception, intelligence, and charisma, but lower strength and endurance, which he'd gain back over time in the wasteland.

Alright. Thank you! BTW, is your profile pic an Ork?

Xeno scum! FOR THE EMPEROR! In all seriousness, I've never played 40k, simply because I don't have that much money.

I used to play it in the 90s. I was always Chaos. Because the Golden Throne is a lie, the Immaterium is glorious, and there is nothing more awesome in all of Games Workshop's vast menagerie of absolute horrors than a plague marine and his vile master.

This is my character Caleb Pryce
S 7 P 8 E 3 C 2 I 3 A 3 L 2

He was a soldier build I made.
His strength was purely around his versatility with guns.

He could use anything ranging from a pistol to a missil launcher.

I warn you the build is kind of a glass cannon he can dish damage out like no tommorrow but he can’t take it very well.

Break all the limbs and never fix them. Super realistic veteran gameplay. :p

There is a group of 4 vets in the 3dNPC mod who wander the land that could be recruited with a follower mod like AFT.

Thing is, I like high charisma, especially since my character is an NCO, and I use settlements ALOT! 'Specially for survival.
