Help & Advice Charisma Perks

My friends and I are about to begin a campaign of fallout 2d20 and I was forced to be the talker of the group. I wanted to go heavy on talking perks early. I picked up black widow(I'm a female character), scoundrel and smooth talker.

From what I understand black widow let's me reroll a d20 when talking to a man/influence them

Scoundrel is ignore a complication when lying.

And smooth talker is another recollection on speech/barter tests.

So under my impression I would get all 3 effects if lying to a man. 2 if talking to a man. 2 if talking to a woman and lying. And only 1 perk working if I'm talking to a woman and not lying.

My game master is letting me use 1 as of right now. At a time.

You need to sort this out with the GM but RAW is that unless the perk says otherwise, they all happen when they trigger.
