Toughness Perk is a Better Alternative

It may be worth investing perk points in the Toughness perk instead, since this also provides damage resistance bonus but does not require low health to activate like Nerd Rage.

Nerd Rage is on Intelligence Level 10

The Nerd Rage perk is unlocked when your Intelligence is at Level 10. You can start at this level by assigning 10 points to Intelligence during the Registration Form at the start of the game.
