Need ideas for a "stoned macgyver" build and supporting mods

[cat013]

Normally game builds are designed around the premise that by level X the PC will have reliable access to gear Y.  Of course, if I wanted a normal game I would not have an LL account, would I?

 

Specifically I am trying to concoct a build for PC that has a habit of losing all of her worldly possessions on regular basis. There is an obvious approach to this - pump STR and END, dump everything else. Which provides for surprisingly viable but unsurprisingly monotonous play style.  I want to do something different - a PC who is able to weaponize any random junk that just happened around. And also relies on heavy substance abuse, because why would she not?

 

The mods I am planning to use are

Nerd rage fix that turns flat DR into percentage

Wastelander weapons - turns screwdrivers and similar junk into weapons

Vehicle salvage - lets you loot cars, occasionally yielding a tire iron

Improvised weapons - even more weaponized junk

Possibly AN76 for survival

Depravity and Conqueror for the story

And of course Harassment, Violate, Just Business and the whole nine yards from LL

 

The build that I came up with so far is a mix of Blitz ninja and Nerdzerker.

 

Start with S1.P1.E4.C3.I9.A9.L1, the book goes to END. The firs two points are Blitz (duh) and Lone Wanderer, then END all the way up. Between Blitz and two "free" sets of power armor it should be no problem to get to the Library and be around level 10, where you take Nerd Rage.

 

After this - boost HP, all forms of DR (Moving target and such) and all damage boosts that are not tied to specific weapons, with exception for Iron Fist. STR does not matter as almost every chem around boosts it anyway. Neither does PER, unless you really like grenades (I believe molotovs will do the job just fine).

 

Tactics: try to sneak up on them with melee or fists, if things go wrong - you have NR and practically infinite sprint to run circles around the enemy. Then jump into any body of water.

 

What do you think?

Some useful stuff to overhaul melee and unarmed

 

Third Person Melee Tweak
Unarmed Gameplay Overhaul
Kicks and punches
Crippled limb Fix

Took my build to an unexpected field test. A mirelurk hunter suddenly spawned against a low level PC near BAFTL office. Took him across the Tucker bridge (badaboom), around Covenant and all the way to the molerat infested junkyard.

 

Near infinite sprint is almost as good as the Aspect of Cheater. Now I wish Fallout had WoW controls.
