Mentats (Fallout 3)

Mentats are a chem in Fallout 3.
==Background==
Mentats return in Fallout 3, though they only increase Intelligence and Perception, omitting the Charisma bonus. As in previous games, using them boosts skills based on those attributes (although not to skill points earned on level up, as Mentats do not alter base stats).
==Characteristics==
One of three different kinds of Mentats can be won in a quiz pertaining to the Declaration of Independence at the National Archives, these are:
* Berry Mentats grant a +5 to Intelligence
* Orange Mentats grant a +5 to Perception
* Grape Mentats grant a +5 to Charisma
Given that regular Mentats provide the same type and strength of bonuses as the Berry and Orange versions (and all in one package), practical-minded players may want to choose Grape Mentats when redeeming their prize vouchers. The unique +5 bonus to Charisma (and consequent +10 to Speech and Barter) may come in handy with difficult Speech checks or large bartering sessions.
==Locations==
Found at some raider- and Enclave camps.
==Notes==
With the Broken Steel add-on, the ghoul Griffon will claim when selling his Aqua Cura that it will cure "dry mouth and other side effects of Mentats."Griffon: ""(Griffon's dialogue)
