Mentats (Fallout)

Mentats are most useful for characters with low Intelligence. Furthermore, they are one of the games' more valuable items yet are relatively easy to find. This makes them also useful as an easy source of money, particularly when first starting. In addition, the +1 to Charisma can allow you to recruit a new party member if the new CH is an even number. The party member will even stay after your CH returns to the normal score.
