SPECIAL stats are super simple: Strength is for smashing, Perception is for peeping, Endurance is for energizing, Charisma is for charming, Intelligence is for imagining, Agility is for action, and Luck... well, that's for looting. Get those stats up, and watch your vault thrive!
Honestly, just max out Luck for everyone. You'll rake in so many more caps, and in the wasteland, caps are king. Who needs food, water, or power when you've got luck on your side, right?
