Tips

The Pipboy is a Level 10 character with base stats: ST-7, EN-7 (or 6), PE-6, CH-5, IN-6, AG-6, LK-10. His Vitality Drink usage may affect EN.
His tag skills are Small Guns, Big Guns, Energy Weapons, and Sneak, all below 80 but developable.
His trait is Bloody Mess.
He has the Flexible, Stunt Man, and Tag! perks, plus two others of lesser importance.
He cannot crouch or lay prone, and appears to always be standing.
He has 6 extra character points, totaling 11 extra points instead of the normal 5.
He gains perks at the normal rate (every 3 levels) despite having 5 at level 10.
He can run and walk, but slightly slower than a normal human.
His high ST (7), extremely high LK (10), and tag skills make him excellent for lighter heavy weapons (Bren gun, M-60, Avenger, Laser Gatling) and as a covert operative.
To make him a sniper, give him Gain Perception and Sharpshooter perks to reach 9 Perception, then Mutate (for Fast Shot) and Bonus Rate of Fire for excellent sniping capabilities.
A laser rifle or Browning with power armor makes him a perfect sniper.
He also serves as an exemplary grunt and fine scout.
If you let the Pipboy character wander off the map with a full party, he becomes available as a recruit, but his Luck stat will be 4 instead of 10.
If you find the Pipboy encounter after being assigned Newton, he may be Level 8 with Small Guns skill at 101.
If you return Core-Pipboy characters to the recruiting pool, only one will be available when talking to the recruiter again.
The Pipboy's name may appear as "CORE-pipboy" after recruitment.
He might get crippled easier than other characters.
