Mentats (Fallout: New Vegas)

Mentats are a chem in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Mentats grant a Charisma bonus, provide +2 Intelligence and have a low addiction rate. It is possible to craft Party Time Mentats, which confer an augmented +5 bonus to Charisma, in addition to the effects of standard Mentats. Effects from Party Time Mentats stack with regular Mentats, but Mentats do not do so by themselves. Party Time Mentats also have a drastically decreased effect time of 1 min, a 75% decrease from standard Mentats.
