The Fallout skills are not that many.

Explosives
Small Guns
Big Guns
Energy Weapons
Unarmed Combat
Melee Weapons
Throwing
First Aid
Doctor
Chems
Sneak
Lockpick
Disguise
Steal
Traps
Science
Repair
Pilot
Speech
Barter
Gambling
Outdoorsman
Jump
Climb
Swim

But we could add the three skills from this fallout list that yoy want to tag. That gives an extended CoC-skills list. It's still up to you to pick where you want to spend skill points.

I've noticed that I have much lower stats than the other characters, even though I have Gifted. Did the other players roll dice using CoC rules instead of using the F4 character generator? If so, do I have that option too?

Yes, they used old characters with the normal rules. Roll as normal and add the perks and Fallout bonus skills. No problem.

Character creation rolls:
STR, CON, POW, DEX, APP:
[dice]3d6[/dice]
[dice]3d6[/dice]
[dice]3d6[/dice]
[dice]3d6[/dice]
[dice]3d6[/dice]
SIZ, INT:
[dice]2d6+6[/dice]
[dice]2d6+6[/dice]
EDU:
[dice]3d6+3[/dice]
It looks like dice haven't been enabled on this forum. Do you want me to enable them?

After I'm able to roll, do I get +2 to each stat from Gifted and an extra +2 to APP for Extreme Personality?

I have enabled dice now. Your suggestion on added points is fair.

The dice still aren't working. They may need to be enabled on subfora as well.

Will I be allowed to move stats around that are rolled on the same number of dice? Also, could Gifted simply reduce my total number of skill points rather than subtracting 10 from every skill? Otherwise, I'd never be able to even attempt a skill at 10% or lower.

Is the picture I posted in the IC thread good enough?

Now, I pulled all levers!

No deduction on skills as that would be counter productive to the perk.

Swapping of stats are allowed. Have a great Tuesday!

Do I need to snatch an actual mugshot? The reason I drew a character portrait was because I might accidentally end up violating copyright.
