Well, for starters you could try to make some poison at the Campfire and coat them on throwing knives, throwing spears, etc. You could use them to assist in various combat. That's all I can think of.

I don't like that you can't pick them up, so I don't use them.Besides my tagged skills, I am thinking of raising Sneak, Repair, Lockpick, and maybe Gun.I want to be able to infiltrate and blend in enemy strongholds ((Vulpes Inculta)), but at the same time, be a human wrecking machine and tank ((Legate Lanius)).

If it was me I would try to leave luck at five, with the right combo of perks and armor you can still get a 20% critical chance wich is more than enough with a lot of the guns in the game. I'd lower strength down to six also because with the implant you can get and weapon handling you'll still be able to meet the requirements of any weapon in the game. And it might not be your style but charisma probably should be left at five to, I always try to tage speech just because its always so useful and also very Vulpes like.

No implants or gambling due to being a Legion character.Also, with Heavy Handed, critical do 60% less damage.Finally, as I legion, I don't see him being talkative.

I don't understand, how my thread asking for help is getting almost no replies, but a thread about what a gun looks like in real life gets three pages with people saying the same exact thing.

Psst, its because you're pro-legion lol

There are a few Legion fanatics though, I'm sure you'll get some responses once they wake up/see it..

I don't understand why the NCR fan boys are so up in arms.At least, they didn't get the shaft when it came to quests.The game, pretty much caters to NCR, I mean they have a NCR vet ranger on the cover.

It's not really the NCR 'fan boys' it's just most people? I'm a house fan myself but I also detest the Legion in New Vegas..

They're just not very likable.

All forums are have a basic hit and miss faction in it, some people who would comment might not be around that day and it moves too close down the page.

My tip is If your going pro legion extreme, stimpaks are no-nos unless you make them i guess. Primm shop has a really nice bladed gauntlet sometimes which is good for early unarmed. For melee it depends on if your gonna use heavy or light weapons. Because the knans are at a kinda truce, You can maybe do the drug runner, if only for the unarmed skill for the hell of it. you might wanna pretend to be ncr at novac get the other unamred perk then kill the old ranger cause taht the worst two things legion hate. With unamred because your going uber pro legion, unamred might be a skill you would want to leave at 50, because there arn't many higher unarmed weopns which aren't high tech. Sandman is a must for sneaky legion, While the wall perk is nice for running into people like a tank. I think a crit build would suit better for legion, unless you plan to break pro legion and get a thermal lance.
edit: Are you also gonna use hardcoe mode, if then survial will be a even greater friend for living. While the higher the level of survial weirdly could make certain items even more dangerous to take. Also not quite sure, but maybe take the bachlor perk, not for the lols but for being better at killing people is always a plus. I mean I made my bi insense for pure damage all the way against humans.

I just don't think there's a whole lot to say.

I'd say your stats are in check and that The thinker got most of it down. Even though doing the drug runner and talking to Ranger Andy might be a bit of a RP breaker, I'd certainly do it just for the unarmed skills.

yeah the drug runner ad ranger are kinda if you wanna be be lupas like really. those two are really for help with unarmed dew to a point I made about high tech unamred so having those perks kinda helps out. Also as stated you can just kill them afterwards for drug running and being old and ncr. Kinda intresting to backstab them after they give you stuff.

I need 70 unarmed for piercing strike and 90 for Slayer.I know about not using stimpaks and I think the whole betraying Ranger Andy is okay along with strengthening the alliance with Kahns.Thing is though, the Legion aren't known for their know how on making chems since they are a contraband to them.I did a test run and I was a able to get a power fist before or right when I got to Novac and I forget the good melee weapon that I had.Also, criticals wouldn't be good since I took Heavy Handed.

I suppose looking at it power gloves are alright for legion (forgot they had a tent full of power glove guys) But the heavy handed thing is just not my style. Crits are kinda useful for stealth as the whole crit multi comes into it. Its half the reason people sneak, the other half being to get closer which I guess your planning for manily the second half. Still gonna be careful with survial skill as it makes things better and worse witth something like a herb giving you health but -1 per, might give you -2 at a high survial lvl last i checked. Also acholic drinks also a no no. So is power armour. With bos it goes kill ranger, check out the place (buy some of there stuff if they have certain items you like) then kill them however you please. What I think would be intresting is to first be leveling your melee first til your liked alot with legion to get the safehouse, then you should focus unarmed because thats how they do it rank wise I beilieve.

I think they fit nicly but maybe jury ringing at a tad early level, not to low though maybe level 22 then move the second toughness to 28. Educated though a good perk may not fit right into legion, but I don't really want to sund legionist (heck knows I love ncr and legion just as much) question remains if your building your legion courier do you think hes been educated before? I might think of moving this higher up the levels. Kinda like saying "I joined the legion and I wasn't smart but now i'm alot smart than I was because the legion taught me. to me unstoppable force is kinda iffy because as i've incounted they ncr don't really like to block much, so trade it with educated and take travel light instead. The old legion (romans) Did travel longs ways so maybe it would be kinda useful as I believe wikia said legion armour can be light but that just might be bad wording by the wikia
