You can take [[chems]] (e.g., [[Mentats]] or [[Buffout]]) to increase desired [[SPECIAL]] stats temporarily; This way you can get perks that wouldn't normally be available. Perks taken under drug influence remain permanent, even when your stats fall under the requirements after the chems wear out.

Perks taken under drug influence remain permanent, even when the stats fall under the requirements after the chems wear out.

General information

In Fallout 2, perks are selected every 3rd level (or 4th with the Skilled trait). There are 70 regular perks and 12 special perks. For perks with multiple ranks the benefit listed should be interpreted as "per rank".

Chems can be taken (e.g., Mentats or Buffout) to increase desired SPECIAL stats temporarily; This way perks that wouldn't normally be available can be gained. Perks taken under drug influence remain permanent, even when the stats fall under the requirements after the chems wear out.
