Raise your intelligence, so you get more skill points per level, max your speech and plow through the speech checks. Lift your STR through the roof, and get a friggen Thermic Lance, or more Unarmed, and kick some Supermutants in the face! Agility and Sneak, Lockpicking + Repair = rich. It's an open sandbox for a reason. Charisma is a dump stat. I've also heard of buffs like 'Kindness', 'Friendship', 'Love', and 'Being awesome to people' that raise your Charisma despite an initial debuff. 2 Quote "There is beauty in hardship / There are poems in grief" -Assemblage 23, Damaged | STR:2.25 | DEX:2.25 | STA:2 | CON:1.25 | CHA:3.25 | WIS:7 | A place I will collect my woots - if I remember Challenges | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 15.1 | 15.2 | Milythaels' HOoRAY for which I am grateful | Today, right now, I am alive.

Just so you can read it and think weird thoughts while eating your cornflakes. (What, no one else reads their cereal box at the table? Just me?) There was a same idea over at Writer's Guild, @petefeet ? so there's perhaps more support out there than one would think..? Not the only one! I used to read the backs, but it got a bit stale, on the fourth/fifth time. Huge fan of reading while eating. When doing anything, really. There was the idea that if you take 4 or 5 different veggies, so that they total up to a decent chunk of all the nutrients you need, and blend them into this.. well, sluice :/ But it was very convenient (taste/ pleasant consistency nonwithstanding). Maybe we could make healthy cereals out of dried, powdered veggies as flour? "Tastes evil as fuck.. but here's some cool stuff to distract you!"

They share a similar physiology, suffer from many of the same diseases as we do and have similar responses to medicines as us. We also share many social behaviours, rats form strong emotional bonds, they grieve when they lose a loved one, they even exhibit empathy and will actively try to save another rat in distress. I haven't been well enough to take our breeding does out to play for several months now but today I felt good so I was able to play with my girls, yay! Even though they haven't seen me in months they obviously remember me! They were all over me, giving me rattie-kisses and snuggling up to me, scrambling down inside my top. One of the girls has kittens, they're 3 weeks old and they've opened their eyes and are venturing out of the nest to investigate. Because mum is so tame and well handled the babies aren't scared in the slightest when you pick them up. They are just the cutest thing ever! This is really cute, he is trying to "steal" treats stashed inside the ball. It's a great toy for them, stimulates their mind and keeps them happy. And of course playing with the wooden "house" toy. They also have chew toys and treat sticks hanging from the roof to keep them occupied. 3 Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment
