NPCs: Intelligence, Luck, Charisma?

[PAPVAFS11]

I see a lot of NPCs in both vanilla and mods that have SPECIAL points in INT, LCK, and CHR - sometimes, in insane proportions - but I have absolutely no idea why. As far as I know, NPCs don't have any way to use these since they don't gain experience, can't deal critical hits, and don't ever deal with dialogue checks.

 

Does anyone know if any of these SPECIAL ratings do anything? At all?

Crits if you have a mod that allow crits out of VATS

Their special stats do nothing, really, despite what people say they do online. Simply test it. This was my solution to make each one more unique (unfinished), but what I have does work.

Scriptname ConquestorsUniverse:CU_RandomizeSpecialStats extends Actor 
{Randomizes special stats on load}
 
;Set up actor values for modification

; Set up other we need. I can likely remove level here.

Modvalue(HealthAV, GetValue(Endurance)*10.0)
 
;Luck for other bonus calculation
Modvalue(Luck, Utility.RandomFloat(0.0, 10.0)) 
LuckTotal = GetValue(Luck)
 
if LuckTotal < 1.0
Modvalue(Strength, -1.0)

Modvalue(RightMobilityCondition,-40)

Modvalue(LeftMobilityCondition,-30)
Modvalue(RightMobilityCondition,-30)

Modvalue(LeftMobilityCondition,-20)
Modvalue(RightMobilityCondition,-20)

Modvalue(LeftMobilityCondition,-10)
Modvalue(RightMobilityCondition,-10)
elseif LuckTotal < 6.0
 
elseif LuckTotal < 7.0
Modvalue(HealthAV, 5)
elseif LuckTotal < 8.0
Modvalue(HealthAV, 10)
elseif LuckTotal < 9.0
Modvalue(HealthAV, 10)
elseif LuckTotal < 10.0
Modvalue(HealthAV, 10)
elseif LuckTotal < 11.0
Modvalue(HealthAV, 10)
elseif LuckTotal > 10.0
Modvalue(HealthAV, 10)
EndIf

You're gonna have to do that for each special stat and add perks/modify values through papyrus for it to make a difference.
