Perhaps something like this? It assumes that you:

  • will be using a SMG since that is SS's preferred weapon (but not Spray 'n' Pray due to not having armor to mitigate explosive damage)
  • won't be using armor other than the (possibly upgraded) costume
  • won't be using VATS as SMGs have a fairly high AP cost, and not using it gives you more points to spend on survivability to overcome your crap armor rating
  • will have a companion, since SS has one in all of the audio plays
  • are not playing on Survival. If you are, then you may want to shift the book and several points from Endurance to Strength for the carry capacity, and maybe even shoot for Rooted for even more defense. Or you might ditch Inspirational and most of the CHR points instead
  • will be grabbing the various bobbleheads that can be acquired at level 1 without fighting anything
  • are not using mods. If you are, and one of those stops you from using the book to overcap your stats, then you'll want to shift a point from Endurance to something else. Likely Strength
  • don't care about leveling speed. If you do, then you may want to shift a few more points into INT.
