Don't make fun of me, but I have been a fan of an anime called Hokuto no Ken for as long as I've been a fan of Fallout. After seeing how badass unarmed is after beating Silus to death with my fists, screaming ATATATATATAATATATA! The Ranger Takedown has to be the most OP thing in the game, it is so cool. So, after i finish up with my current build, I will start a post-apocolyptic martial artist build. Suggestions appreciated.

You don't even know you're already dead.

I thought I had no clue as to the character...
Then I googled,.
Fist of the north star, I remember seeing it yonks ago on C4 late night.

Well leather armour is a must.
Unarmed yes.
Survival maybe.
Melee would help in NV too.

Strong and tough go with that.
Boxing tape would be nice, if you can mod a version to deal pure damage it would really work.

Perks the whole kit of unarmed, bonus damage, melee and DT boosting ones, lady killer may fit as well.

A rough sketch, I hope some one more familiar will pop up later.

Yeah, i thought as much, I am thinking 2 ranks of toughness, NEMEAN, and Reinfoced Leather Armor, and Biker Goggles, all the way to the end.
Travel Light because it is light armor and to close distance, pierceing strike goes without saying, high crit chance is also a must, i have cinematic camera set to player view so it is like Turbo every time i kill with a crit, which is badass.

Those are all great ideas I like the googles, the speed will help a fair bit, putting some points in sneak can help.
As by level 20, you get access to Ninja as well as better criticals and finesse, It makes the H2H build even more deadly.
Built to destroy can boost that ability as well, and if you like using bare fists sometimes won't be as much of a draw back.

Early on Knuckles are the only weapon that is effective against much, but Primms Vicky and Vance has a pair.

put perception to 1 and fill up your strength and endurance with the points because when you have ed-e as a companion theres no need for high perception

piercing damage, stonewall, and superslam are some really good perks too

I absolutly hate min-maxing, and i plan on going it solo. There is no Lin or Bat type characters in this game, so no followers.

Ninja is broke unless you are on the PC. It mutliplies your crit rate by 1.15 instea of adding 15 points to it.

Thanks for the correction, I did not know that :foodndrink: .

I wouldn't laugh at you, my good Unarmed anti-Legion dude is call Kenjiron.

2 Heave ho
4 Travel Light
6 toughness
8 super slam
10 strong back
12 pierceing strike
14 purifier
16 light step
18 parylising palm
20 ninja
22 finesse
24 slayer
26 light touch

Built to destroy
(and the ohter one I cant remember throw things faster)

Thats my legion plan so far. Allthough lightstep is just because legion ending is hell without that one...

Get ranger tackle.
Give veronica a dress.
Help the khans in aba daba honeymoon.
With an unarmed of 50 talk to he legion lucius.(think thats his name)

Also I suggest survival of atleast 60. That way you can use armour and a magazine to boost it to 75 and make more things.
Poison is great with unarmed, it bypasses DT.

If you have the deadmoney dlc keep the holotape from veronica.

Thats my character anyway.

Thanks for the tip, I play on PS3 so no mods... I was also planning on bumping Melee for perks, what should my third be? I play on hardcoe only, going Hard this time, (You guys ever chug 10 stimpacks in hardcoe before a fight, invincibility)
