1.2 S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, Luck.
These 7 stats will determine how your character behaves and more importantly; if they are
able to survive the treacherous wasteland.

Character Creation
During character creation your stats each start at 1 plus any racial bonuses. You then
have 33 points to distribute. Stats cannot be greater than 10. A stat modifier is equal to
the stat -5 (Ex: Strength 6 = +1).

Score vs. Modifier

“Stat” or “Score” refers to the natural stat [1 to 10]
“Modifier” or the abbreviation (such as PER or AGI) refers to the modifier [-4 to 5].

SPECIAL Bonuses
Bonuses to SPECIAL stats affect any related stats as normal (such as AP for Agility) and
increase skills associated with that stat by 2 per point that the SPECIAL stat increased.
SPECIAL stats can be raised above 10, although skills cannot be increased past 100.
If you lose the bonus such as when the effect of Mentats ends, your stats and skills
return to normal.
Negative effects such as withdrawal work in a similar way, reducing any stats or skills
while you are under the effect.

7
1.3 Stats
Action Points
Your Action Points (AP) are equal to 5 plus half your Agility Score, rounded down.

Ex: Agility 5 = 7 AP, Agility 8 = 9 AP.

Action points are used for weapon attacks, using items, or any other action besides your standard
movement in combat. See Chapter 3.2 for more rules on how you use AP.

Carry Weight
Your carry weight is your Strength Score times 10, plus 100.

Ex: Strength 5 = 150 lbs.

If you exceed your carry limit you have the Over-Encumbered condition. (Chapter 3.5)

Hit Points
Your hit points at level 1 are equal to the highest number on your race’s HP dice plus your
Endurance Modifier.

Each level after 1 you roll your HP dice and add the result plus your Endurance Modifier to your
max HP.

Initiative
Your initiative bonus is equal to your Agility Modifier.

At the beginning of combat roll a d20 and add your initiative bonus to determine turn order.

Ex: Agility 5 = Initiative +0

Karma
Karma titles are Very Evil, Evil, Neutral, Good, Very Good.

You choose your starting alignment. Your Overseer will inform you if your actions have changed

If your background includes a weapon that requires ammunition, you begin the game with 5
magazines worth of ammunition or 25 if its magazine size is 1 or 2. price is listed for a
single round, except the Fusion Core* which counts as 500 ammunition when used with a
Gatling Laser.
It is not recommended to rigorously track ammunition unless you want your game to have a
gritty survival feel. However, it is recommended that special weapons and ammunition types
such as Frag Grenades or Mini Nukes are always tracked as it is not assumed that a player
could use a Fat Man every turn. “Deluxe” ammo types are indicated by red lettering which
are the types that are not assumed to be plentiful.

*A Fusion Core (or Prewar Standardized F.C. as everyone calls them) may not be at 100% charge. To find the
current ammunition count multiply the charge percentage by 5.

Rules
3.1 General Rules
Advantage
When you have sufficiently favorable conditions for a roll your Overseer might decide that you have
Advantage. Advantage can also be granted through features or other means. When you have Advantage, you make
the roll twice and take the more favorable result. For d20 rolls this means the higher result, but for d100
rolls this most often means taking the lower result. Disadvantage is the opposite: you make the roll twice
and take the less favorable result.

Damage Types
There are 7 damage types. Physical, Cryo, Energy, Explosive, Fire, Poison, Psychic, Radiation. In general,
Physical attacks attempt to hit DR. Cryo, Energy, and Fire attempt to hit ER. Explosive, Poison, and Psychic
attacks are based on Saving Throws or are secondary effects of another attack. Radiation can attempt to hit
ER, be a secondary effect of another attack, or simply be reduced by RR.

Experience Points
Combat, Roleplaying, Successful Skill Checks, and Exploration can all grant XP at the Overseer’s discretion.
Overseers should only award XP for overcoming conflicts and tasks that provide a reasonable challenge to the
players.

Falling
When you fall from a great height you will often take damage. You take 1d6 damage for each
10ft you fall (Round down). You fall at a maximum velocity of 500 ft per turn.
You can attempt a DC 20 AGI or END save to take half as much damage from the fall.

Light Levels
The amount of light in an area is tracked using the following light levels:
Dark. Dim or no light. Anyone in darkness has advantage on Sneak checks. Attacks
and Perception checks on something in a Dark area have disadvantage.
Normal. Average light. No effect in most cases.
Bright. Exceptionally bright light. Anyone in bright light has disadvantage on
Sneak checks.
An extra light source such as a Spotlight or Pip-Boy Flashlight moves the light level up
by 1 for everyone in its area, including the wearer.

Radiation
Certain enemies or areas may apply radiation damage to a character which is tracked by
Rads. Any radiation damage is reduced by a percentage equal to your Rad Resist.
Ex. 10 Rads with 30 Rad Resist = 7 Rads
When your total number of Rads reaches certain numbers, your Radiation Level increases as
shown in chapter 3.4.

Resting
It is important to stay sharp in the Wasteland, and you must rest to do so! You can rest
in increments of 1 hour, which could include sleeping or light activity such as cooking or
repairing items.
For each hour you rest, you regain one quarter of your maximum HP rounded down.
If you rested in a sheltered bed for 8 consecutive hours you gain the Well Rested
condition (See chapter 3.4).

28
 3.2 Skills, Saves, and Checks
Any time the result of an action the player takes is both uncertain and interesting, a roll is
required to determine the outcome. As a rule of thumb any time your SPECIAL is involved you roll a
d20, if a Skill is involved you roll a d100. Weapon attacks are a major exception to this.

SPECIAL Rolls
There are two kinds of rolls that use your SPECIAL stats. When someone is attempting to
avoid an effect, they must make a Saving Throw (also called a Save). To make a Saving
Throw you roll 1d20 and add the appropriate SPECIAL Modifier. When someone is attempting
to accomplish something, they make a Check. To make a Check you roll 1d20 and add your
SPECIAL Modifier. The Overseer determines the DC for success.
The two SPECIAL stats listed in your background gain a bonus equal to one quarter of your
level rounded up for Saves and Checks using that stat.

Skill Checks
When you make a general skill check, such as a “Medicine Check” or “Science Check”, roll
1d100. If the result is less than or equal to your skill you succeed. Skill checks can be
made with any skill and represent your knowledge or performance with that skill.
For example, if your skill is 30 you must roll a 30 or lower to succeed. This means that
your success rate is equal to your skill unless there are other modifiers.
As a rule of thumb, if a roll uses your SPECIAL stats use a d20, if it uses a skill use a d100.

Barter
Barter is used when you are attempting to make a deal with someone, whether it is buying a
weapon, selling scrap, or trying to get more caps for a job. You and the person you are
talking to each roll three Barter checks. Their reaction is based on their relative number
of successes to yours. For example, if they succeed on 2 and you succeed on 0, they
conversation is majorly in their favor.

Lockpick
When trying to pick a lock, whether it is a door, safe, or any other type of lock, you use
a bobby pin and your red screwdriver to roll a Lockpick check. Each success grants a
cumulative -10 bonus as you home in on the sweet spot. To open the lock, you must succeed
three times before failing twice. If you fail, your bobby pin breaks, and you start over.
In combat this takes 3 AP per roll. It may be possible to find the lock’s key which
automatically opens the lock on the first check.

Medicine
Medicine is used when trying to treat or diagnose an organic creature. Stimpaks heal 1d6
hit points + 1d6 for each 20 points (rounded down, minimum of 1d6) you have in the
Medicine skill.

• Super Stimpaks heal 2d6 + 2d6 for each 20 points in medicine. (minimum 2d6)
• RadAway removes 50 + 50 Rads for each 20 points in medicine. (minimum 50)
Stimpaks, Super Stimpaks, and RadAway only affect organic creatures. Stimpaks and Super
Stimpaks end the Crippled condition on organic creatures.
You can attempt to diagnose the condition of a creature, determine how a creature died, or
recall a piece of medical information by making a Medicine Check (See Skill Checks).

Melee Weapons

Repair
Robot Repair Kits heal 2d6 + another 2d6 hit points for each 20 points, and 50 + another
50 Rads for each 20 points you have in the Repair skill. (rounded down, minimum of 2d6 and
50 respectively) Robot Repair Kits only affect mechanical creatures. Robot Repair Kits end
the Crippled condition on mechanical creatures.
Repair can also be used to repair items. Roll 3 Repair Checks with the modifiers based on
the table below. With a total of 0 successes the item moves down one condition level
(minimum 0), with 1 success it stays the same, with 2 successes the condition increases by
1, and with 3 successes the condition increases by 2. You can dismantle a similar item for
a -20 bonus to your rolls. Attempting a repair takes 10 minutes which can be done during a
rest. Repair Kits do not require a check and increase the condition by 2 levels.

Science
When trying to hack into a terminal you roll a series of Science Checks. Each success
grants a cumulative -10 bonus as you piece together the correct password. To unlock the
terminal, you must succeed three times before failing twice. If you fail, the terminal
locks you out, and you start over. In combat this takes 2 AP per check. It may be possible
to find the terminal’s password on a holotape or piece of paper which automatically
unlocks the terminal on the first check.

Sneak
When attempting to pass quietly or without being seen, commonly called “sneaking”, you
roll a Sneak Check. Any enemies in the area each make a Perception Check. The highest
enemy Perception Check result is added as a penalty to your Sneak Check. If you still
succeed on the Sneak Check you are hidden. Your roll has disadvantage if you move more
than half your speed per turn or are in bright light (see chapter 3.1).
The same contested rolls can be made to pickpocket or conceal a weapon with the Holdout
property but instead of being hidden, your thievery is unnoticed, or you keep the weapon
hidden. You cannot pickpocket an item that is currently being worn or held and you cannot
attempt to conceal a weapon without the Holdout property.

Speech
Speech is used when you are attempting to persuade or deceive someone. You and the person
you are talking to each roll three Speech checks. Start at zero and subtract one for each
of their successes and add one for each of your successes. For example, if they succeed on
2 and you succeed on 0, they conversation went majorly in their favor.
If another skill is clearly relevant such as when discussing medical treatment with a
doctor, you can replace one of the Speech checks with a check of that skill.

Survival
You can use your Survival skill to prepare food or drink (Any item on the Aid table, page
21) which takes 20 minutes and can be done during a rest. You can prepare one item per 10
points in Survival (rounded down). Food items you prepare heal twice as many hit points
but do not have any other properties increased.
You can spend an hour to harvest food from a vegetated or populated area. Roll three
Survival Checks. Heavily Populated Areas yield meat, Cultivated Areas yield vegetables
and/or fruit, and Wild Areas can yield either.
Survival is also the weapon skill for Bows.

Successes Wild Area Cultivated Area Heavily Populated Area

Weapon Skills
All skills related to weapons (Big Guns, Energy Weapons, Explosives, Melee Weapons, Small
Guns, Survival, and Unarmed) give a +1 bonus to hit per 10 points in the skill, and +1
damage per 20 points for weapons of that type.
Example: 45 Big Guns gives +4 to hit and + 2 damage when using a Big Gun.
Weapon skills can be used for checks as normal (see Skill Checks) if knowledge or skill
with that weapon type is relevant.

 3.3 Perk Details
Contract Killer/Lawbringer
When you kill a creature of the appropriate alignment (Good for Contract Killer, Evil for
Lawbringer) you can take an ear or finger respectively from them. You can trade this item
with an appropriate NPC for 1d10 + CHR caps each. Alternatively, the Overseer can give you
the caps directly in place of finding an ear or finger.

Fortune Finder
The number of caps enemies drop because of this perk are based on your level and your Luck
Modifier. The caps are scattered on the ground and take 4 AP to pick up in combat.

Player Level Caps

6-10 2d12 + Luck Modifier
11-15 4d12 + Luck Modifier
16-20 6d12 + Luck Modifier

Intimidation
You can spend 5 AP to attempt to intimidate a hostile Human, Ghoul, or Gen 3 Synth. Make a
Speech Check. On a success they will not attack you or your allies for 1d6 turns. Before
rolling you can take a +50 penalty to instead incite them to attack your enemies. You have
disadvantage if the target has at least half of their maximum HP.

Mysterious Savior
If a player has the Mysterious Savior perk, there is a chance the stranger will appear
when they are in danger.
After being downed, roll a d20 and add your Luck Score, if the combined result is 20 or
higher the stranger appears and restores hit points to you equal to your level.

34
Mysterious Stranger
If a player has the Mysterious Stranger perk, there is a chance the stranger will appear
when they score a critical hit.
After scoring a critical hit, roll another d20 and add your Luck Score, if the result is
20 or higher the stranger appears and attacks the target you most recently attacked if
possible. If that target is dead, then he attacks an enemy at random.
The Stranger does damage based on the player’s level.

Robotics Expert
You can spend 5 AP to attempt to shut down a hostile robot. Make a Science Check. On a
success the robot is deactivated for 1d6 turns. Before rolling you can take a +50 penalty
to instead incite it to attack your enemies or take a +25 penalty to instead attempt to
initiate self-destruct. You have disadvantage on either check if the Robot has at least
half of its maximum HP. On a success the robot explodes at the end of its next turn.
Creatures within 10ft of it when it explodes make a DC 14 AGI save or take 4d6 damage and
150 Rads. Add 2d6 damage and 50 Rads if its size is above medium, subtract 2d6 damage and
50 Rads if it is below medium.

Scrounger
You find twice as much ammunition from loot and quest rewards. When you score a critical
hit with a weapon that uses ammunition you gain one magazine worth of ammunition and it is
immediately reloaded.

Wasteland Whisperer
You can spend 5 AP to attempt to calm a hostile creature. Make a Survival Check. On a
success the creature will not attack you or your allies for 1d6 turns. Before rolling you
can take a +40 penalty to instead incite it to attack your enemies.

35
 3.4 Combat
Your Turn
Each turn you can use your Action Points (AP) to make attacks or perform other actions.
You can move up to your max movement speed which does not cost any Action Points.

• Aim. Spend 3 AP. You gain advantage on all attacks for the rest of your turn.
• Attack. Spend your weapon’s AP cost to make one attack.
• Bash. Spend 4 AP. You can make a melee attack with a ranged weapon using your Melee
Weapons skill. The range is 5ft, the damage is 1d6 for Big Guns or 1d4 for all other
weapon types, and you ignore any penalties due to the weapon’s condition.
• Block. Spend 3 AP if using a Melee or Unarmed weapon. You have resistance to the
damage from Melee and Unarmed attacks until your next turn.
• Chems. Spend 3 AP. Use one item from the Chems table.
• Dodge. Spend 5 AP. All attacks against you have disadvantage until your next turn.
• Power Attack. Spend your weapon’s AP cost +2 if using a Melee or Unarmed weapon.
Double your weapon skill damage modifier for that attack.
• Reload. Spend your weapon’s reload cost. Its magazine is refilled.
• Sprint. Spend 3 AP to take the Sprint action to move up to your movement speed
again.
• Swap. You can swap weapons by spending AP equal to the reload cost of the weapon
you are switching to. Use the weapon’s AP cost for melee/unarmed weapons.
Other actions such as opening a door usually cost 3 AP unless the Overseer decides otherwise.
Aid items take 1 minute each to consume so it is impractical to do so during combat.

Making an Attack
To make an attack you roll a 20-sided dice and add your modifier (as shown in section 3.1:
Weapon Skills) then compare that number to the DR or ER of the target depending on the
damage type of the weapon. If your attack roll is equal or higher than the target’s armor
value, you roll the damage dice for that weapon and add the weapon skill damage bonus.
You can make as many attacks as you have enough AP for. If the AP cost for a weapon is
higher than your maximum AP, you can expend your maximum AP to make one attack.

Armor
DR and ER are based on the armor type you are wearing. You can wear 1 piece of clothing
and 1 type of armor at the same time, although clothing does not provide any bonuses if
you are wearing Power Armor.
Some types of armor add your agility modifier to DR and ER. Light armor and Ballistic
Weave add your full AGI mod, heavy armor adds the score up to a maximum, and power armor
does not add any AGI. See chapter 3.5 for more details on Power Armor.
36
Critical Hits
When the unmodified result of an attack roll is within your Critical Range you score a
Critical Hit. The default Critical Range is 20-20, if an effect increases Critical Range
the lower bound moves down (1 step = 19-20). Critical Hits automatically hit the target
regardless of DR or ER. You then multiply the damage dice for that attack based on your
weapon and luck. Each type of damage dice receives their own extra dice separately. (such
as extra dice from legendary effects)

Luck Dice Multiplier

1-4 2x Base Damage Dice
5-7 3x Base Damage Dice
8-10 4x Base Damage Dice
Example: A Critical Hit with a Combat Rifle with 4 luck = 2d8, with 6 luck = 3d8.

Sneak Attacks
If you are currently hidden, any successful attacks become critical hits.
If you make an attack with a weapon that does not have the Silent property you must
immediately make another Sneak check to remain hidden with a +50 penalty.

Item Condition
• When a critical hit is scored on a target their armor (if any) moves one level down
in condition.
• When someone critically fails an attack their weapon (if any) moves one level down
in condition.

Condition Level Effect Value

Perfect 3 None 100%
Worn 2 -1 to hit and damage, or -1 DR and ER 90%
Weathered 1 -2 to hit and damage, or -2 DR and ER 75%
Broken 0 Cannot be used, or provides no armor benefit 50%

37
 3.5 Conditions
Addicted
Any time you use an addictive chem (has an addiction level), you must make an Endurance
saving throw. You use only your base score for this save, you apply no bonuses from chems,
food, or worn items. The addiction DC is shown on the chem table. On a failed save you are
addicted and have the Withdrawal condition when not under the effects of that chem until
cured. Addiction can be cured by Addictol or a successful Medicine Check on three
consecutive days.

Blinded
When someone has the Blinded condition, everyone else is considered Invisible to them.

Crippled
When you take damage, part of your body may become crippled. The Overseer determines if
the damage is enough to cause this condition and may also call for a save to resist it.
This condition ends when you use a Stimpak or become Well Rested.

Body Part Effect

One Arm Disadvantage on melee and unarmed attacks
Cannot hold any objects weighing more than 5 lbs, can’t make melee or
Both Arms

equal to your END modifier + 2 (minimum 1). If you are still downed at the end of this
number of turns you are Dead. This condition ends if you regain any hit points.
38
Diseased
In certain condition you may need to make an Endurance saving throw to resist disease,
usually DC 8 unless the Overseer decides that the risk should be higher. You apply no
bonuses from chems, food, or worn items. On a failed save you have a random disease that

creature has disadvantage on Melee and Unarmed attacks. Attacks within 5ft of a prone
creature have advantage against them, and otherwise have disadvantage.

Radiation Damage
A creature’s radiation level may increase when they take Rads. Check the appropriate Rad
table for your race to determine if you have any radiation effects. Rads are removed with
RadAway. Radiation resistance reduces Rads taken by that percentage. (40 Resist removes
40%, max 100%, round down) Once a character reaches 1000 Rads they roll a d100 on the
corresponding 1000 Rad table.

 3.6 Power Armor
Power Armor is the peak of armored infantry technology developed by West-Tek. Power Armor was
crucial to the U.S. military in the conflicts leading up to the Great War and remains a dominant
force in the post-war Wasteland.

General Properties
You cannot use any weapons from the Unarmed category except for the Fist which deals 1d4
damage while wearing Power Armor. You are immune to fall damage, and if you fall 10 feet
or more, you deal 2d6 damage to everyone within 5 feet of your landing point. Entering or
exiting Power Armor takes 4 AP, placing a new fusion core into Power Armor takes 2 AP.
Robots cannot wear Power Armor.

Helmet Properties
If your Power Armor has a helmet you gain several benefits. You can breathe underwater for
up to 3 minutes at a time. Your headlamp can light a 25ft cone in front of you if your
Power Armor is Powered. You have advantage on saves against airborne diseases. (All Power
Armor types except Power Armor Frame include a helmet by default)

Powered
If the Power Armor has a charged Fusion Core, it becomes Powered. While Powered, it
consumes Fusion Cores at a rate of 1 core per 24 hours of use. If your Power Armor is not
Powered your movement speed is reduced by 15, you cannot sprint, dodge or jump, and you
automatically fail AGI saves.

Power Armor Training

If you do not have the Power Armor Training perk, you have disadvantage on all STR and AGI
checks or saves while in the Power Armor and your Fusion Cores drain twice as fast.

Survival
T-51b and superior models can recycle human waste, meaning your water requirements are met
if using the optional Survival Mode rules. You can also gain the benefits of sleeping
while wearing Power Armor.

42
 3.7 Crafting
Crafting Basics
You can craft an item by making a series of checks using a skill according to the table
below. To work on an item, you spend 1 hour and up to 50 caps and then make a check. If
the check is successful you add the caps spent to your total progress, if the check fails
you make no progress but only lose half of the caps invested during that time. The item is
complete when your total progress is equal to half of the item’s original cost. Crafting
ammunition yields the standard quantity as shown in Chapter 2.11 Ammo, or twice as much if
you have the Ammosmith perk.
Checks made to craft complex items and deluxe ammunition have a +20 penalty.

If you have a crafting perk, you gain the following benefits for related items:

• Advantage on checks to craft items of that type.

• Crafting mods* takes half as many caps for items of that type.
• Advantage on checks to attach mods* to items of that type.
*Mods can be found in The Mechanist’s Toolbox
