Trying something Different ...

So I was thinking of an explosives crazy chick character

any tips on how to get alot of caps really early on so i can buy more ammo or get a fat man and a fairly large ammunition stock pile for it

the special it has is

S-10
P-1
E-5
C-1
I-10
A-3
L-10

I really thought having 10 strength would give me a larger back pack .-. my 1st character with only 4-5 Strength has a larger pack .-.

with 10 luck will i be able to never lose a casino game? or will i lose just as often as my 1st character with 3 luck ?

any tips on how to use explosives so I don't blow my self up (besides not aiming point blank at a wall with a rocket launcher type weapon)

also any places where I can cause a really big explosion or a chain of little explosions that cause one fricken huge one

I tried blackjack games at 10 luck and had very good success I lost very little and gained more than I ever lost. And if 10 strength should be more than enough even 8 strength would be good and as for using explosives keep at a distance and I like using vats more with explosives but if choice, expermint and see what u like best.

Luck on an explosives based character is pointless, explosives don't grant any crits. I'd probably lower your strength a bit to about 6-8, if you go for 6 then get weapon handling. I'd recommend not playing on hardcoe mode either if you want any companions. Take all the explosives perks you can, such as demolition expert, hit the deck etc. The one that lets you throw farther is great. There is one that lowers the amount of self inflicted explosive damage as well.

Make Repair and Barter a priority skill at some point, since repairing expensive explosives is costly, and buying ammo isn't cheap, so Barter can help with that.

If you want everything thing you wanna buy early go with luck 8.
Get intense training (luck), save up so money and go buy and implant asap.
Seriously with lucky 10 black jack will get you banned in like 5 minutes.

10,000 caps in the big casinos.
EDIT: they do keep track all the time, and will eventually ban you but thats after you have 10,000 caps from them and if you want more you could always download a casino unbanner mod.........such as i did.

so 10k caps from each casino = 100k caps ? or will every loss take out of the 10k caps ? and still end up banning me even if i have like 1 cap left ?

Never take 10 for a starting SPECIAL, the implant adds 1.

The casinos have specific limits for how much you can earn from them, above someone said they have buggy limits at 9888 etc. The reason for that is the limit would be 9000, you've won over the limit by 888.

I suggest looking at the perk requirements for SPECIAL, all the explosives perks (demolition expert, hit the deck etc) are definitely needed, a few other perks like extra carry weight, reduced weight for heavy weapons etc.

So look at the perks to see the requirements. You don't need to take 10 strength of you have the DLC's, with a starting strength of 7 you can get +2 from reinforced spine (old world blues) and +1 from the implant.
