said, I never had much use for natural radiation and poison
resistances, anyway, so it's not that much of an inconvenience. Then
again, I never had much use for a high natural healing rate, either.

Bruiser -- increases strength by 2, turns your AP to a crap value. As
a side-note, as with any stat increasing trait, you can then proceed
to decrease strength by 2, and use those two points on any other stat
of your choice. E.g., you can use "Bruiser" to get two extra points
to AG, IN, EN, or PE instead of ST. But be warned that the AP penalty
is a right pain in the behind, so it was never my favourite trait.

Small Frame -- +1 to AG, but you can carry very little weight. Just
as with Bruiser, you could just as well use the point elsewhere, such
as PE, IN or EN. Be warned that the resulting carry weight penalty
can be a major pain in the behind. With 6 ST and "Small Frame" you'll
only be able to carry 100 pounds of equipment. That IS a problem very
soon. While I could and did stay under 175 lbs carried weight for
most of the game, under 100 was way too tight. Your call, though.

One Hander -- Basically, reverses the range penalties for
pistols/SMG's and rifles. Without it, you're accurate with rifles,
but have crap accuracy with a pistol. With it, you're accurate with a
pistol or SMG, but have bad accuracy with a rifle or minigun. IMHO,
it's a pretty good trade-off, though I've always found "Fast Shot" to
be a better choice.

Finesse -- +10 to critical chance, but it lowers the normal damage you
do. It's not a particularly bad trade-off, but not one of my
favourites, either.
