Beginner Character Build Tips

If you are playing game for the first time you should create a character. Here are some advices on a universal character build. This guide may be usefull for beginners.

Chosing stats

You may choose from these primary character characteristics: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Perception. 1. Don't set very high intelligence: it affects only your comprehensive and social abilities. Setting intelligence to 7-8 is quite enough: it lets you understand most of mid-tier books (Under the Hood, The Big Book of First Aid, What's A Transistor). 2. At the same time you should set reasonable Strength (10 pts is quite enough): it affects your melee combat skills and weight which you may carry. 3. Dexterity is a universal stat which affects both melee and ranged to-hit chance, increases your dodging chance and improves your trap detecting and avoiding skill (set it to 8-10 pts). 4. Perception improves your ranged combat to-hit chance and helps your character to detect and disarm traps, it may be worth to set it to 8-9 pts.
