Rip Smithy

 is one of the inhabitants of Point Lookout. He is a member of Plik's little hunting club, and accompanies you during Plik's Safari in the year 2277.

Background
Rip Smithy has been a wasteland everyman, smuggling illicit cargo around the country as a hired-gun. Recently, he sold two little kids named Sammy and Squirrel to the crew at Paradise Falls.

Quests
Unlike his friend Jacob Humboldt, Smithy wears a practical suit of metal armor, and is equipped with a lever-action rifle for the safari. Despite these effective counter-measures, Smithy will likely meet his demise during Plik's Safari, if only because of the obscene amount of feral ghouls. If he survives, he'll boast and brag about how he saved your life.

Effects of player action
If you put on the ghoul mask before fighting in Plik's Safari, the ghouls won't attack you unless they are attacked. Rip Smithy and Jacob Humboldt also won't be attacked by ghouls nor attack them.

Appearances
appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.
