==Description==
An effective starting character meant to explore the map and climb the wasteland's learning curve. Level 30 may be easier to reach than you think, and Level 40 is only needed to get enough [[Party Points]] for more Companion followers.

Small Guns is the gun type with the widest variety of weapon options. You'll love the p90 for it's fast firing rate, if used with AP ammo. The XL70 might be the best, though it's a 2-handed rifle. Or try shotguns - the [[Pancor Jackhammer]] is highly effective on all targets, but even a [[Combat Shotgun]] does some knockdowns and knockback crits. Shotguns have an EMP ammo option for fighting robots. Play with the M79 40mm grenade launcher too, for big splash fun. Use any of the excellent pistols in this category, including the Desert Eagle, the [[14mm Pistol]], or the [[.223 Pistol]]. Gauss weapons are also included in Small Guns.

Exploring caves can be rewarding but deadly. This guy drugs up and explores confidently. Same with hunting lockers and finding blueprints. Recruit a Companion follower (it's best to get the [[Speaker]] perk first), and bring some backup. Recruit up to 3 of them later with [[Speech]] 150, [[Magnetic Personality]] and [[Sex Appeal]]. This is all possible by level 40. Lead them on the map, level them up, and you're more likely to find some [[Special Encounter]]s as you go. Establish a private [[Bases|base]] and station your Companions there to guard it while you're off exploring.

Your '''Strong Explorer''' will get ''all'' crafting professions, which allows him to make his own fresh tier 2 gear, ammo, armor, drugs, and explosives. He gets a lot of [[Support Perks]] too and becomes more and more useful as a support character while you grow your army of other characters. You'll be glad you were on this character when you find the [[Ruined Military Bunker]] or the Vertibird!

'''NOTE''': The Target Level indicated here is barely high enough for an IN implant, but he could get one at level 30 and get more SP per level after that.

'''NOTE''': All builds benefit greatly from getting the combat [[Implants]] so this build does not reflect any stats from them. In addition to the ones indicated in this build, it's up to you to decide if you want to add theses:
* Nemean
* Dermal
* Phoenix

==Leveling==
Firstly, make sure you get [[Boneyard Guard]] on all characters, prior to distributing any [[Skill Points]]. Next you'll want to make sure you get [[Educated]] as soon as possible, but read 10 Science books before you put points into it. Your [[Science]] needs to be 100 to get [[Educated]]. After that, focus mainly on getting Small Guns skill to 180 in time to get [[Bonus Rate of Fire]] by level 18. To go hunting lockers sooner, get [[Even Tougher]], Traps to 50 and get [[Light Step]]. Then get [[Doctor]] skill up to deal with broken limbs.
