	After Reading 

Character Creation Guide by evilbob65535		Version 1.02
Character Building Guide by TungstenMonk		Version 1.10
AND
Statistics/Skills/Perks Guide by Absolute Steve		Version 1.00

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I Like to make my own Version and Hopefully your own version in Distributing the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. statistics from 1 - 10.

		S = Strength
		P = Perception
		E = Endurance
		C = Charisma
		I = Intelligence
		A = Agility
		L = Luck

There are PERKS that Require you to have a specific amount of S.P.E.C.I.A.L. (usually 4+) BUT IF your not Going to select one of the PERKS that needs the requirements then you need not to worry to make sure you have that S.P.E.C.I.A.L. at a minimum value.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I HIGHly suggest you browse thru
	Bobblehead FAQ by SunsThirdStone
http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/918428/55245

Now that you know about the Bobble Heads Give at Least +1 IN all of the S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
AND +10% on Each SKILL.

THEREFORE : You should NEVER Max out to 10.

FACT :	it doesn't go to higher than 10 even with bonus.

	S.P.E.C.I.A.L. = 9 MAX

	So you may want to LOWER the Cap on the MAX of S.P.E.C.I.A.L. -1
Besides the VAULT TEC Bobble heads there are other Items and QUESTs that will add a Permanent Points to your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. statistics. So this means it will Lower the MAX cap points for each stat; as to not waste those benefits of adding extra points where you could be using it for some other Stat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
»	["Those!" Quest]	Adds +1 to either Strength or Perception.
Since you have MAXed the Strength or has the Higher (B) Priority than the Perception. You won't need the ...
	Ant Might	+1 in Strength.
and you Have to Select ...
	Ant Sight	+1 in Perception.

»	[Barkskin Quest]	Adds +1 to Endurance.
	Reduce the MAX cap of ENDURANCE to 8.
		Wasteland Wanderer Outfit:
	+1 to Endurance and Agility BUT there are better armors out there.

»	(INTENSE TRAINING) @ Level 2	Endurance +1
	Reduce the MAX cap of ENDURANCE to 7.
			@ Level 3	Agility +1
	Reduce the MAX cap of AGILITY to 8.

»	{Lucky 8 Ball}		Adds +1 to LUCK.
It is in effect as long as it remains in your inventory.
	Reduce the MAX cap of LUCK to 8. 

»	Ranger Battle Armor	Adds +1 to LUCK. and a 2nd HIGHEST DR=39
	Reduce the MAX cap of LUCK to 7.
		Stats:		Small Guns +10, AP +5, Luck +1
		Location:	Reilly's Rangers Compound.
		Quest:		Reilly's Rangers. (Possible reward)

HEADGEAR:		MAX DR:	10
Judge for yourself IF it's worth the TRADE (Opportunity Cost).

and also Include the STAT Perk; you Lowered the LUCK Points and It gets Distributed to the LAST Remaining Points in the STATS like: Intelligence
So include additional +19 Skill points Overall in the consideration OR
Agility = +2 A.P. & +2 Small Guns & Sneak.

»	{Crow's Eyebot Helmet} & {Lucky Shades}
	+1 to LUCK and Perception	DR:7
	Trading DR +3 for a +1% Critical HitS.	( & +19 Skill Points)
	Reduce the MAX cap of LUCK to 6.	( +2 A.P. )

»	{Three Dog's Head Wrap} & {Lucky Shades}
	+2 to LUCK & +1 Charisma	DR:4
	Trading DR +6 for a +2% Critical HitS.	( & +38 Skill Points)
	Reduce the MAX cap of LUCK to 5.	( +2 A.P. )

DR: is also an Important STAT that is RARELY increased and PLENTY of skill points in the GAME anyways so Critical HIT is the deciding Factor.
[It's the LAST Stat that you would Place the Point if you plan to decrease your CAP on the LUCK and the point will go to the LEAST Prioritized STAT.]
