    Do you get more XP points for wearing INT boosting clothes? And do those boosts carry to the power armor?

    Thanks again. I think I get it. So perception would maybe improve your percentages in things like vats...or being detected in sneak etc

    Yeah, INT boosting clothing will make you level faster (lab coat and there's a unique pair of specs that add +2)

    They won't carry over to power armor though, your clothing/armor along with any defenses or legendary effects all get turned off when you enter the armor...

    If you're wearing a full set up with 200 armor and you climb into an empty power armor frame your defense drops to about 50, which is what the frame gives you...

    You have to treat it like a separate character almost...institute paint gives an INT bonus and chems all work fine when wearing power armor...

    Extra points in perception definitely increase VATS hit chance, pretty sure only agility is helping sneaking skills but it's hard to be sure...

    I can confirm that Agility-boosting gear helps to sneak. The same enemy did not notice me with Army Fatigues despite having no problems detecting me in Vault Jumpsuit

    University Point in the shanty town, I had a Synth Trooper drop a full set of Sturdy, maybe worth continuing to check back as you level for the heavy pieces...

    It's one ugly looking armor set...

    Not sure why anyone would even want to look like that...

    Parts of it looked nice with certain pieces
