In Jagged Alliance 3, Larry was partially cured back when we gave him Metaviron and cured his amnesia to recruit him but as you probably figured out by now, he has been tripping hard and his abilities are not that great.
This is because Larry has two sets of stats, depending on whether he is using substances or if he went through rehab.
Larry's stats after rehab
Comparing Larry's stats just before admitting him at the Sanatorium and right after the operation concluded, the following changes were recorded:
- Health: -6
- Agility: +5
- Dexterity: +6
- Strength: +0
- Wisdom: +12
- Leadership: +0
- Marksmanship: +8
- Mechanical: +0
- Explosives: +0
- Medical: +0
That Health penalty may give you second thoughts but the Marksmanship and Wisdom changes alone more than make up for it. With higher Wisdom, he will level up his stats faster and with additional Marksmanship points, he becomes a very competent shooter, turning a combat liability into a strength.
Additionally, sobering Larry up will cause him to lose the Optimist trait and gain Pessimist while also giving him Mr Fixit, which pretty much guarantees he will never have an explosive disarming accident again.
