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.

Hit Points
Your hit dice are based on your race.

Your hit points at level 1 are equal to the highest number on your hit dice plus your Endurance
Modifier.

Each level after 1 you roll your hit 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
your alignment.

Others may treat you differently based on your alignment if it is known to them.

8
1.4 Skills
The starting value of a skill is equal to the related S.P.E.C.I.A.L. score
times 2 plus Luck.
Example: Unarmed = (Endurance x 2) + Luck
Your tag skills (1 from subrace, 1 from background, and 1 free choice) are
increased by 15 points. Humans choose 3 free tag skills, plus their
background tag skill.

Intelligence Score to distribute among your skills, up to a maximum of 100.

9
1.5 Backgrounds
You choose a background to give a rough description of who your character is. Your
background determines one of your tag skills, as well as your starting equipment, and two
stats. Any Ability Check or Save made with these stats gain a bonus equal to 1/4 your
level rounded up. See Chapter 3.2 for information on Saves and Checks.

If your background includes a weapon that requires ammunition, you begin the game with 5
magazines worth of ammunition for it. Quantity refers to the standard amount that
ammunition type is found in, which usually matches the magazine size of compatible
weapons.
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.

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, Radiation. In general, Physical
attacks attempt to hit DR. Cryo, Energy, and Fire attempt to hit ER. Explosive and Poison attacks are based
on Saving Throws or secondary effects of another attack.. Radiation is either a secondary effect of another
attack or is simply reduced by RR.

Experience Points
Combat, Roleplaying, Successful Skill Checks, and Exploration can all grant XP at the Overseer’s discretion.
Overseer’s 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 subtract a number of feet you are considered to have fallen equal to 5 plus your
Endurance Modifier plus your Agility Modifier. For example, if your AGI is +2 and your END
is +3 you must fall 20ft to take 10ft of falling damage.

Light Levels
There are three levels of light:
Dark. Dim or no light. Any creature in darkness has advantage on Sneak checks.
Normal. Average light. No effect in most cases.
Bright. Exceptionally bright. Any creature in darkness 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 all creatures in its area, including the wearer.

Radiation
Certain enemies or areas may apply Rads to a character. Reaching certain numbers of Rads
increases your Radiation level as shown in chapter 3.4. Rad Resist reduces the number of
Rads you take by a percentage equal to your Rad Resist (Round Down).
Ex. 10 Rads with 30 Rad Resist = 7 Rads

Resting
It is important to stay sharp in the Wasteland, and you must rest to do so! You can relax
for one hour to take a short rest, or rest for 8 hours to take a long rest.
During a short rest you can perform light activity such as cooking or repairing items. At
the end of the short rest, you can spend hit dice to regain hit points. To spend a hit die
roll it die and add your END. Once a particular hit die has been spent it cannot be used
again until you regain it in some manner, usually by taking a long rest.
During a long rest you must spend 8 hours asleep. At the end of the rest, you regain all
your hit points as well as any expended hit dice. If you rested in a sheltered bed you
gain the Well Rested condition (See chapter 3.4).

26
 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 a creature is attempting to
avoid an effect, they must make a Saving Throw. To make a Saving Throw you roll 1d20 and
add the appropriate SPECIAL Modifier. When a creature is attempting to accomplish
something, they make an Ability 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 Ability 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 feel
majorly negative towards you.

Lockpick
When trying to pick a lock, whether it is a door, safe, or any other type of lock, you
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 attempt.

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).

28
Melee Weapons
See Weapon Skills

Repair
Robot Repair Kits heal 1d6 + another 1d6 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 1d6 and
50 respectively) Robot Repair Kits only affect mechanical creatures. Robot Repair Kits end
the Crippled condition on mechanical creatures.
The Repair skill can also be used to repair items. Roll 3 Repair Checks with the modifiers
based on the item shown in below. If you get 0 successes the item moves down one condition
level (minimum 0), if you get 1 success it stays the same. 2 successes increase the
condition by 1, and 3 successes increase the condition by 2. You can dismantle a similar
item for a -20 bonus to your roll. 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 home in on 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.

Sneak
When attempting to pass quietly or without being seen, commonly called “sneaking”, you
roll a Sneak Check. Hostile creatures 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 can’t pickpocket an item that is currently being worn or held and you can’t
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 feel majorly negative towards you.
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 and crossbows.

Unarmed
See Weapon Skills

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.
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 of that
weapon type is relevant.

 3.3 Perks
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.

Intimidation
You can spend 6 AP to attempt to intimidate a hostile Human or Gen 3 Synth. Make a Speech
Check. On a success they will not attack you or your allies for 1d6 turns. 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 its 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.

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 6 AP to attempt to shut down a hostile robot. Make a Science Check. On a
success the robot is deactivated for 1d6 turns. 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 6 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. You can take a +40
penalty to instead incite it to attack your enemies.

33
 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 your next attack.

• 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. Melee and unarmed attacks have disadvantage against you until
your next turn.
• Chems. Spend 2 AP. Use one item from the Chems table.
• Dodge. Spend 5 AP. All attacks against you have disadvantage until your next turn.
• 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 2 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.

34
Item Condition
• When a critical hit is scored on a target their armor (if any) moves one level down
in condition.
• When a creature critically fails an attack their weapon (if any) moves one level
down in condition.

Condition Level Effect Value

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

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. 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 types from
legendary effects)

Luck Dice Multiplier

1-4 x1
5-7 x2
8-10 x3
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.

35
 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 suffer withdrawal effects 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.

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
unarmed attacks.
One Leg Speed halved
Both Legs Speed reduced to 0
Head Disadvantage on ranged attacks

Dead
You have succumbed to the effects of the Wasteland and are no longer alive. You cannot
speak, move, or take any actions.

Downed
When you reach 0 hit points you receive the downed condition. While downed you cannot take
any actions and you have the Prone condition. You remain downed for a number of turns
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.

36
Diseased
When you consume contaminated food or are attacked by certain creatures, you may be
instructed to make an Endurance saving throw, usually DC 8 unless the Overseer decides
that the chance of disease should be higher. You use only your base score for this save,
you apply no bonuses from chems, food, or worn items. On a failed save you have a random
disease that lasts until it is cured, or you are Well Rested for 3 consecutive days.

D6 Disease Effects
1 Fatigue -1 AGI if you do not sleep for at least 10 hours.
2 Infection Every hour you take 1d4 damage.
A long rest takes 10 hours for you to receive any

benefits.
4 Lethargy -2 Max AP
5 Parasites You heal half as much from consuming food.
6 Weakness +2 to all damage done to you.

Invisible
An invisible creature cannot be seen but might be detectable in other ways. Other
creatures have disadvantage on Perception Checks to detect you while you are sneaking.
Attacks against an invisible creature have disadvantage and that creature’s attacks have
advantage.

Over-Encumbered
When you carry more than you can, you become over-encumbered. While over-encumbered your
movement speed is halved, you cannot take the Sprint action or jump, and you have
disadvantage on melee and unarmed attacks.

Paralyzed
A paralyzed creature is entirely unable to move, take actions, or speak. The creature
fails all STR and AGI saves and has the Prone condition.

Prone
While prone a creature’s only movement is to spend half their movement speed to stand up.
A prone creature has disadvantage on Melee and Unarmed attacks. Attacks within 5ft of a
prone creature have advantage against them, and otherwise have disadvantage.
37
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.

throwing off your aim with ranged weapons. The Overseer determines if the damage is enough
to cause this condition or could call for a save to resist it.

You have -3 to hit with Big Guns, Bows, Energy Weapons, and Small Guns

long as you have any of these temporary hit points.

 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. You are immune
to fall damage, and if you fall 10 feet or more, you deal 2d6 damage to all creatures
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.

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 12 hours of use.

Unpowered
If your Power Armor is not Powered your movement speed is reduced by 15, you cannot sprint
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.
