Elijah's Ramblings

Elijah's Ramblings is a special perk .
==Obtaining==
This perk is rewarded by first completing the Dead Money add-on. Once returned to the abandoned BoS bunker, enter Elijah's chemistry lab, the room that is initially locked by an Average-locked terminal before starting the add-on, now unlocked if it wasn't before. To the left of the door, a terminal sits on a desk, where the relevant option is to download a holomessage. The instructions say to bring it to Veronica.
Depending on whether she was already recruited as a companion and where she was dismissed to, Veronica can typically be found at the 188 trading post west of Boulder City or potentially in the Lucky 38 presidential suite in New Vegas. In order to unlock the option to give her the holomessage, all options in the dialogue path starting with "Tell me about yourself" must be exhausted until the topic of Father Elijah comes up and the specific dialogue "Where is he now?" is selected.
Once that is over, Veronica should have a new option of "I found Elijah." At the end, the player character has two options with the unlocked holomessage: to let Veronica keep and read it or keep and read it for themselves. The latter will reward this perk while the former will reward the Elijah's Last Words perk.
==Effects==
Gaining this perk grants a permanent 50% increase to damage dealt by Critical Hits when using melee weapons.
==Notes==
* The perk actually grants a +50% critical damage bonus for melee weapons, i.e. critical damage is increased to 150%.
* The perk works multiplicatively with other perks that modify critical damage, such as Better Criticals and Just Lucky I'm Alive.
* The perk only works with melee weapons. Unarmed weapons are unaffected.
* The perk pairs well with the Heavy Handed trait, countering most of its critical damage reduction penalty (the end result is still -10% critical hit damage).
