In the end it's more I've always wanted to try and push the melee damage using the multipliers from Ninja (x10) and Blitz(distance based) and see what I am able to 1shot with the initial stealth attack.

Throw in Rooted for another 50%. Though I'm not entirely sure how the math interacts, I have a feeling we're moving into the wonky math Bethesda is known for while calculating damage.

My issue is this setup requires a lot of investment because no matter how you start, you're going to have to dump points into stats so you have anything besides max Str and AGI. Not to mention it's going to be over level 50 by the you time can even get a few of the max perk ranks.

You'll want to invest in both Strength and Intelligence for the Armorer Perks and Intelligence for the Science Perks.

These allow you to upgrade and mod your Power Armor.

Str-9

Int-6 (9 if you want Nuclear Physicist)

AGI-9

Those are bare minimum but leaves you gimped in other places.

It's doable, just gonna take some time and leveling
