 Introduction
Welcome to Fallout: Vaults & Deathclaws Roleplaying System Dweller’s Guide! This Roleplaying
System is inspired by the Fallout franchise. This system is always being worked on by a
dedicated team and community with one goal in mind, to make it official. This project is 100%
free and anyone is free to use it. We take all forms of constructive criticism for improving the
system. If there is something you wish to comment on, join our Discord.

What the system offers is freedom in a literal fashion. The freedom to create the character of
your dreams without the limitation of classes. Character Creation comprises of point-buy. You
put points into the skills and statistics to improve them to give you a higher possibility of
succeeding in actions. The system revolves around percentile dice for the actions.

Fallout has extremely dark elements such as racism, slavery, rape, child labor, etc. This may be
too gruesome for people to stomach. It’s up to the Overseer (known in other systems as the
Game Master, or GM) to set up the expectations they have for the campaign and talk to their
players about the type of game they want to run. If the player(s) are not comfortable with it, try
to come to a compromise. If you want to learn how to become an Overseer of a Fallout
Campaign, look into the Overseer’s Guide. It will provide you with ideas on how to run a Fallout:
Vaults & Deathclaws Roleplaying campaign.

A world like Fallout is filled with despair, corruption, and Deathclaws. The world you’re in
doesn’t have a quicksave button. Treat everything you interact with as if it's the actual world.
The Overseer has created the world around your character, but they’re living in it and it’s
probably your character’s job to save the world, or destroy it once again. Because war, war
never changes.

 Core Rules
The Dweller’s Guide Book, or DGB, is a player and an Overseer’s primary source for most of the
rules you’ll be using in your campaigns. Everything in the rules can be read as written or as
intended. Anything that isn’t stated or covered in the DGB is at the Overseer’s discretion. If you
see a term known as stat, it’ll refer to the statistic of an item; be it the effect, resistances, etc. If
two rules contradict, the specific rule overrides the general rule.

What You’ll Need The Party

In order to play, you’ll need one of each dice: d4, d6, d8, d10, The party is composed of the player characters and any
d12, d20, and percentile dice. Have a coin on yourself just in companions they may have recruited for their journey. A starting

character backstory, your research, etc. Of course, the most
important thing you’ll need is a character sheet that you can
find the link for in the Links section. Skill & SPECIAL Checks
Skill and SPECIAL Checks is the method of resolving the actions of
characters. Skills use percentile dice, or a d100, while SPECIAL use

Vault Points, or VP, represents the potential to create a

powerful moment that could decide your fate. VP is awarded
to players by the Overseer and only one can be given at a time
per player. VP is only earned through roleplaying big moments
such as meeting a character in a backstory, completing story
arcs, roleplaying your character's ideals in pivotal moments,
etc.

 Character Creation
Before making a character, read up on the lore of Fallout. Discuss with your Overseer what
backstory you want for your character. Below are the steps to character creation. The book has
been set up for you to learn the main mechanics first. Refer to the step-by-step process below
as you make a character. The character-creating process is sequential; once you finish a step,
you cannot go back and change anything. Once the first session starts you cannot make any
changes to your character. If your campaign is starting above Level 1, refer to Starting At A
Higher Level under Level Advancement.

Originating on the East Coast, Eastern Super Mutants are different from their western counterparts. You’re
mostly hostile, borderline feral, have yellow or green skin pigment, sterile, completely asexual (Although this
may depend on the strain of FEV), and have the potential to become Behemoths. Some also develop a tribe
mentality and aren't hostile towards everyone they meet. There are three known origin areas: Vault 87, the
Institute, and Huntersville. Deciding to play a Huge Eastern Super Mutant means that you’re on the path of
becoming an Overlord, Primus, or a Behemoth. Your massive size will be quite alarming to many and it’s not
easy to conceal.

As a Western Super Mutant you are a byproduct of the Master. Through intricate and constant
experimentation, it was discovered that the more Radiation a person has who is dumped in the unique FEV
created by the Master, becomes unstable and forgets your past life. You may even have the mind of a child.
However, if you’re dumped with no trace of radiation you’re far more intelligent. After the Master’s fall
however, the Enclave also experimented with FEV creating the second generation Super Mutants. You’re sterile,
but unlike your Eastern brethren, you still have working reproductive organs. The usual pigments are dark

Mole Miners are mutated humans that have made the caves and mines of Appalachia their home. They’re
trapped within their deteriorating mining suits which cannot be removed, and without their breathing
apparatus they’ll suffocate. It's unknown as to the cause of this. When they speak it’s often muffled by the
breathing apparatus. They remember glimpses of their past and frequently carry important objects from their
previous life. Mole Miners tend to be aggressive to non-Mole Miners but there are a handful that are calm like
Purveyor Murmrgh that made a business. Only those from Appalachia know of the Mole Miners, to those
outside they appear as large Human travelers and scavengers scraping by. It’s unknown as to how long Mole
Miners can live or if they can even procreate.

only be healed through repairing. Refer to Engineer under Skills for additional information.

For Robots, if a Skill Formula includes STR, END, or AGI, they’re replaced with 5 and can never be changed.
Because Robots can change their body parts, their Max HP increases by 8 every Level-Up instead of the
standard equation.

You can’t eat or drink. You ignore nourishment. You can’t use or be affected by Chems, Concoctions, Drinks,
and Food. They’re immune to all Poisons and Bleed. Water doesn’t damage you in any way, but you’ll sink if the
water is too deep. You can never die from Suffocation. Immune to Disease, Gas, and FEV.

You may choose the following Robots to play as and you gain the benefits from all their parts: Any Protectron,
any Mr. Handy / Ms. Handy, 1st Gen Synth, 2nd Gen Synth, or any Eyebot except the Hopeville Eyebot.

If you want to play a different kind of Robot, ask your Overseer. You can flavor some of the Robots to resemble
other parts.

Background Perks

Domestic Personality Core: Get SP +10 every Level-Up.

Lore

As a Robot you come in various shapes and sizes in the world of Fallout. Most Robots are primarily in the and
serve several purposes such as construction workers, security, nurses, etc. In your case, you’ve somewhat
evolved from your programming and developed a personality. You could also be a prototype Artificial
Intelligence that was given a body to roam for your own protection. Robot names are usually based on their
voice and are sometimes an acronym. The acronym could stand for the robot's purpose, or just a nickname by
its creator.

Gatorclaw: You don’t have Horns and you're a Gatorclaw instead. You mutated from an alligator to a Gatorclaw
through radiation, then somehow got injected or bathed with FEV. You’re still considered an Intelligent
Deathclaw. You can hold your breath for up to 30 minutes. Ignore Difficult Terrain penalties for when in water. If
you do a Target Attacked with your mouth to the arms or legs of your target, the Alligators can do the Death
Roll Action. For 4 AP, roll Attacker STR +2 vs. Defender STR. The Attacker is the Creature. If the Creature wins,
the Defender is Crippled. If the Defender succeeds, they’re able to break free and nothing happens.

Hairy Deathclaw: You’re a mammal with fur covering your body. You can climb without movement being
penalized and it costs 1 AP to climb 10 ft with no SPECIAL Check required. You ignore Intense Cold Weather
effects and get Max HP +15.

Jackson Chameleon: You get Survival as a free Tagged Skill and DR +50. You no longer have to roll AGI for Long
Jump up to 15 ft. The penalty starts at 20 ft. For High Jump you can do up to 10 ft.

Lore

Deathclaws originate from the Jackson Chameleon and were created before the Great War by the U.S.
Government as a cheap replacement for human troops in combat situations. The project was successful, but
after the Great War, they escaped into the wild. As an Intelligent Deathclaw however, you are a Deathclaw that
was exposed to FEV. The FEV gives you higher intelligence thus allowing you to speak with a broken speech
pattern and perceive the world similar to that of a Human.

If you plan on roleplaying as an Intelligent Deathclaw, it’s recommended you research a couple of examples.
The biggest one being Goris, a companion from Fallout 2. Or Gruthar, the leader of the Vault 13 Intelligent
Deathclaws. As a Deathclaw you’ll most likely get shot on sight, or everyone will run away. It’s best to find a
means to hide yourself in a crowd like a robe of some sort. Since you can talk you can sound and look
convincing on having some form of deformity you don’t want people to see. If you just wander into a town
filled with wastelanders, the most likely outcome is you’ll be killed. If you somehow convinced people that you
won’t attack them, you would get attention from all types of people. Especially the OSI, the Enclave, and the
Brotherhood of Steel. Best to keep that under wraps unless you want them coming for you.

24
Vice & Virtue
Vice and Virtue are a means of helping you make your character come alive. Your Vice refers to
what your weakness is. Weakness does not refer to Combat, it refers to what your character is
subject to. Perhaps their vice could be that they’re impatient or impulsive. Virtue refers to your
moral standing. These can be small things, such as that you don't like to steal, or you will only
steal from thieves. For every Virtue you have, you also have a Vice. It's recommended to have a
minimum of three Vices and Virtues.

When you play towards your Vice or Virtue, the Overseer can reward you a VP as you’re
roleplaying as your character. Don’t give out Vault Points just because they roleplayed or
exercised a Vice or Virtue everytime. Give VP when it matters. These only apply to Player
Characters.

It’s possible for Vices and Virtues to change during a campaign. You may lose them or gain new
ones. It all depends on you. Some may be considered both a Vice and a Virtue but that’s upon
the Overseer’s discretion. Below are some examples of several Vices and Virtues. Overseers, if
your players are experienced, you don’t need to use this.

Vices Virtues

● I need a beer at least once a day. ● I donate to the poor when I can.

Traits are modifiers that affect your character that give a benefit and a penalty. Traits can only
be applied to Player Characters. You do not have to choose a trait but you are limited to
choosing up to two upon Character Creation only. You cannot choose the same trait twice. If
you get a Trait and a SPECIAL stat goes below the starting Minimum or above the Maximum, it
doesn’t. It stops at the racial Min/Max. Traits cannot be removed.

Languages
Language is basic communication in both spoken and written form. Languages can only be
chosen during Character Creation and you’ll know how to read, write, and speak the language
enough to communicate with others. Up to INT 5, you’ll be allowed to know one language. You
may learn an additional language if you have INT 6, a third for INT 8, a fourth for INT 10.

If your INT is below 3 you can’t read nor write, only speak the language at a basic level. Your
speech pattern is simple and big words hurt your brain. INT 3 allows you to read and write at an
elementary level.

Overseers may limit the language options depending on the character’s origin or create
languages unique to a character’s backstory or region. Below are some examples of Languages
you can choose from.
Arabic German Morse Code
Binary Italian Russian
English Japanese Sign Language
French Mandarin Tribal Language of Choice

Languages like Binary, Morse Code, and Sign require you to know another language beforehand.
They’ll count as a Language if chosen for Character Creation and it’ll apply to all Languages you
know.

If you wish to learn a new language, you’ll either need a Language & You Book or someone to
teach you. The person teaching you must have at least INT 5 and must know how to read, write,
and speak the language. Both have the same process. You must spend 480 hours learning a new
language. No rolls are necessary, only time. You cannot learn if you have more than one Fatigue.

All Creatures can communicate with each through a unique language only they speak. They
can’t learn any other language. This language has no name, it cannot be written, it can only be
spoken through gestures and sounds by Creatures, no one else can learn this language, and it
cannot be taught.

Starter Equipment is the equipment you get at the beginning of a campaign. This is all decided
before the first session. This method is best applied for Levels 1 - 3. To know what you can
equip, refer to What Can I Equip in the Items section.

For Weapons, the Combat Skills you Tagged will allow you to choose weapons in those weapon
categories of Common rarity. If it’s an Archery Weapon or a weapon with a Capacity less than 5,
you can choose up to 20 Common Ammo that the weapon can use. If the ammo is a Material,
you get 1 lb of the Material. For Big Guns and Small Guns you get ammo equal to two capacities
worth of ammo.

For Energy Weapons you get two Energy Ammo that the weapon uses. If it uses none, you get
nothing. For Melee and Unarmed Weapons you can choose up to two weapons. For Throwing
you can choose up to five Melee or Explosives.

For Robots, check first what Combat Skills the specific Robot can use. Starter Equipment items
are in Pristine Condition. Refer to Condition for additional information.

such as NCR and Caesar’s Legion can only be chosen if you come from that faction and it’s upon
the Overseer’s discretion.

Starting caps is LCK x 5.

After Armor and Starting Caps, the rest of the equipment relates to the character’s backstory.

 Level Advancement
As you explore the world of Fallout you’ll start to gain some experience out in the wasteland.
This experience is awarded to players as Experience Points, or XP, which are given by the
Overseer. The Overseer can give out XP throughout a session when players complete actions,
after encounters, or at the end of a session.

So You Leveled Up? What Now?

When you accumulate a certain amount of Experience Points (XP) from killing raiders, questing,
etc., you level up. The Overseer determines how much XP a party gets. However, the level up is
only gained after your next R&R. It’s recommended for this to occur at the end of the session.
Upon this action you get an increase in their maximum HP, 3 + END and you get all your VP
back. Robots get +8 HP instead.

Next, you can spend your Skill Points. Refer to Skill Progression for additional information.
Afterward, you may choose a perk. Refer to the Races section to know when you gain a perk.
Level 1 doesn’t count as a Level-Up. If it states that a race gets a perk every level, upon every
level, your character can get a perk. If it states that your character gets a perk every second
level, upon every second level up, your character gets a perk. You can withhold from choosing a
perk but you’ll have to wait for the next Level-Up to get it.

Example: If you’re playing a Robot, instead of getting a perk at Level 2, you’ll get to pick one at
Level 3, and then another at Level 5.

Refer to the table below to know the experience cost for leveling up. The max level is 20. In
most circumstances, Level 12 is a great stopping point for a campaign if you start from Level 1, 2
or 3.

they want.

Starting At A Higher Level

If your campaign is starting at a Level above 1, there are some
changes to consider. First, you must spend all your Skill Points first,
then choose perks which are limited by your Level Per Perk. Specify
at what level you get perks. If you select perks that give an increase
to a skill, give SP, adjust HP, they’re applied after you select the
perk.

For Roleplay Perks it’s upon the Overseer’s discretion. Milestone

Perks are applied before you spend your Skill Points from Levels.

Example: If you’re starting in a campaign that lets you be Level 5,

you apply the Milestone Perk Intense Training, then you can spend
all the SP you get from Levels 1 - 5. Afterward you can choose the
perks restricted to the Level Per Perk not counting Level 1.

47
Perks
Perks are a fun way to make your character unique. They’re your abilities and with over 200
perks, the possibilities are endless. There are four types of perks: SPECIAL, Bestiary, Roleplay,
and Milestone. SPECIAL Perks are perks gained through Level-Up. In this section, assume
information regarding perks refers to SPECIAL Perks. Bestiary Perks are perks that can only be
applied to entries in the Bestiary. Player Characters can never get Bestiary Perks. Roleplay Perks
are perks gained in campaigns that can be taught or gained through circumstances stated by the
Overseer. And Milestone Perks are perks that are automatically obtained through Leveling Up.
You may only benefit from one instance of a perk.

SPECIAL Perks are determined by your SPECIAL and Skills. The Perk Rank is the SPECIAL
requirement needed for the perk. Once you pick a perk, you can’t get it again. Some have ranks
that allow you to gain an upgrade of the perk. You must start with the first rank of a perk before
advancing to the next. Perks are earned upon level up with the restriction being Level Per Perk.
Make sure to look over the perks and make sure you meet the requirements for the perk you
want. You can only get perks with your Base SPECIAL and Skills.

Example: If two party members have Teamwork, you do not get Skills +30 and SPECIAL +4, you
only get Skills +15 and SPECIAL +2. Inspiring Words doesn’t stack with another Inspiring Words.

Bonuses and penalties to checks and Hit Chance are ignored. Some perks are Race and/or Trait
specific as well. Perks only affect you unless specified. Under the Extra Requirements column,
you’ll find two types of texts: bold and italic. Texts in bold mean that you need that stat as a
prerequisite for the perk. Texts that are italicized are special. For texts that are italicized, if you
meet a skill requirement for one skill and not the other, it doesn’t apply to the other skill.
However, if you have it for both, you can use it for both. Perks with Skill requirements only
apply to the specified skills.

Example: The perk Martial Master requires 100 in Melee Weapons or Unarmed. If you have a
100 in only Unarmed, you can get the perk. However, the perk will never activate if you attempt
it in Melee Weapons. If you eventually decide to level up your Melee Weapons to 100, you can
use the perk for both Unarmed and Melee Weapons. Perks that state “Any Combat Skill” also
follow this condition.

If a perk states it’s towards allies, it doesn’t count towards you unless specified. Customize to
your heart's content, and reason.

48
 Milestone Perks
Below are the Milestone Perks. Apply these perks before the Max HP increase.

Milestone Perk Level Description

Intense Training Every 5th Level You choose one of two options below:

Option 1: Increase any one Base SPECIAL by +1 without surpassing your maximum. Be sure to update any
stats, skills, etc. related to your SPECIAL. For skills they’re flat bonuses. If you’re using the Standard Base 25,
the skill increase doesn’t apply. If you ever put a point into a Base SPECIAL stat and it surpasses the
requirement (Lone Wanderer, Idiot Savant, etc.) you do not gain the benefit from that perk anymore. If you
increase INT you don’t recover Skill Points from previous levels nor learn another language. If you increase
your STR or END, your Base HP does not update. Additionally, for your new END, apply to the current HP Level
Up, but not to previous Level Ups. Robots can only use this to increase PER, CHA, INT, and LCK.
Option 2: You may Tag one untagged skill.

Screw The Rules Every 5th Level You may choose ANY perk you desire except for perks you already have. You ignore SPECIAL, Skill, and Race
starting at Level 10 requirements. If you choose a perk that has several ranks, you start from the lowest rank available to you. If
you choose to pick your Screw the Rules perk at a later level, you may. You must state which perks this applies
to. You can only use this to get SPECIAL Perks.

Minor 20 - 100 Leftover radiation from the Great War that was probably from a smaller nuclear missile. It covers a small neighborhood
or a barren forest. This can also apply when drinking from a toilet, the ocean, or a moderate Radiation Storm.

Medium 100 - 300 Leftover radiation from a blast radius that’s roughly the size of a neighborhood.

Major 300 - 400 Leftover radiation from a blast radius that’s roughly the size of a quarter of a city like New York.

Extreme 400 - 1000 These extremely irradiated areas are towns that took direct hits from nukes and the blast turned it into a hell hole.

No Man’s Land 1000 - 5000 No Man’s Land are irradiated areas that are most likely testing areas from before the war or populated cities like New
York City and Philadelphia that got hit with a few extra nukes.

Radiation Level List

Radiation Level Description

100 You feel abnormally tired.

200 You begin to feel weak and achy, your skin itches slightly, and a sunburn-like rash appears.

400 You feel weaker and your muscles, your joints hurt, some hair begins to fall out, your skin itches, and small open sores begin to develop.

600 You begin to vomit and experience diarrhea and the previous descriptions intensified. You develop a nice glow at night. As a Ghoul, your
memories slowly fade away.

800 You vomit blood, all your hair is gone, and you experience bloody diarrhea. Ghouls start to turn feral as only a hair of themselves
remains.

1000 The Radiation poisoning will be too much for your body to handle. You’ll instantly become Comatose and VP cannot be used to keep you
at 1 HP. Reaper Checks are applied but items and the Assist Action cannot help you in this circumstance.

For Humans, if you get three Reaper Check successes first, you become a Ghoul with your rads reset to 100. No stat changes are applied
except for RR +80. As a substitute, mutations may apply upon the Overseer’s discretion. If you get three Reaper Check failures first, you
die and cannot be resurrected by anything.

For Ghouls and Mole Miners, if you get three Reaper Check successes first, your character maintains their sanity and gains the Glowing
Trait. But if they get three Reaper Check failures first, they become a feral and the character cannot be played anymore.

When traveling as a party through the wasteland, you spend

more time walking than you do in towns. There are three types
of traveling speeds: Slow, Normal, and Fast. The average
Human can travel 20 miles within 10 hrs of Normal Travel
Speed. Creatures may vary on how many miles they cover
when by themselves. This is upon the Overseer’s discretion.

The 10 hrs include walking, resting, and food and water

consumption. The 10 hrs applies to all travel speeds. It is
assumed that traveling is done on a clear road such as an
interstate highway or a street. The chart below gives additional
information on all three.

While traveling, players can attempt to find sources of food and

water, track animals, draw a map, navigate to avoid getting lost,
or listen to the radio for potential information. Each party
member can also attempt to forage every 5 hrs traveled but
only during Slow and Normal Travel Speed.

You can attempt to travel in stealth to avoid combat encounters

while traveling. These are setup by the Overseer and are meant
to be encounters that occur during travel. Everyone in the party
must roll. If more than half succeed, you can instead get a

 Combat
In the wasteland, you’ll end up in a scuffle or two. In combat, the amount of actions you do
depends on your Action Points (AP). What you can do with them is covered in this section. If
you’re new to this system, take your time to learn the combat process. Have a calculator ready

determined by how much AP you have. Use your Action Points wisely for once you use up all

 AP Actions
These are additional actions you can take during combat that can only be done on your turn.
The Minimum AP for these actions is 1.

Action Description

Assist Action For 2 AP, you can give the Assist Action to an ally adjacent to you. That ally cannot move from their space in order to get the bonus.
This action can only be done once per turn. If an ally is adjacent to you and an attack hits them, you can take the hit instead but it
ignores your AC and Hit Chance. If you do this this also costs 2 AP. For Sneak Attacks, if both are unaware, neither can do the Assist
Action, but if the person who isn’t the intended target is aware and adjacent, you can do the Assist Action.

Called Attack Whenever you do an Attack and it misses, you can spend the same amount of AP that you just spent on the attack to cancel the
missed attack. You cannot do so if the Attack is a Critical Failure. Any ammo used is not expended and you retain it. You also do not
break Sneak for having declared the attack when you take this action.

Change Stances For 2 AP, you can change to Prone. For 1 AP, you can change to Crouch or Standing.

Climbing During Combat you can attempt to climb by rolling STR -2. If you fail you’re Knocked Down. If you succeed, you can climb in any
direction on a climbable surface by spending 2 AP to move 5 ft. If you’re climbing, at the beginning of your turn you must roll STR -2
again in order to stay climbing. If you fail, you fall and you're Knocked Down. If you succeed you can continue climbing as previously
stated. You cannot do the following actions: Defend, Dodge, and Run. The penalty may increase if the surface is extremely difficult
to climb. It’s possible to High Jump while Climbing. You can attempt to hold onto something while Falling but this is upon the
Overseer’s discretion. Refer to Reaction for additional information.

Defend For 2 AP on your turn, all attacks towards you get -20 Hit Chance until your next turn. You can do this up to twice per turn. If you’re
driving a Vehicle, this also applies to the Vehicle. This AP cannot be lowered.

Delay At the start of your turn, you may choose to delay your entire turn to move on another part of the Turn Order. You must choose a
number below your SQ and that number becomes your SQ until you do that turn. You can also choose to have the same SQ as your
allies to move on the same turn as them. If you choose an enemy's SQ, you can choose if to go before or after them. You can only
do Delay once a round.

Example: Knight Jacobs rolled a 25 for his SQ, higher than all of his allies in the combat, but he wishes to go after them for tactical
reasons. He decides to delay his turn until SQ 15; all other characters with SQ higher than 15 go first, then for this round, Knight
Jacobs treats his SQ as having rolled a 15. After his turn he goes back to 25.

Disarm Trap This costs 6 AP. For Disarm Trap, you can disarm Traps and Landmines that you’re adjacent to. For Landmines, you have to roll
Sneak against the Crafting Penalty of the Explosive to enter the radius without the Landmine activating. If you were previously
Sneaking, you still have to roll again. If you succeed, you’ll have to move to where the Landmine was placed and roll Engineer or
Sleight of Hand against the Crafting Penalty. If you fail either check, the Landmine activates. If you don’t dismantle the Landmine on
the same turn you Sneak, you have to roll Sneak again at the beginning of your turn. For Traps, if you’re able to spot them and not
trigger them, you only have to pay the AP Cost. If you succeed you successfully disarm the trap. If you fail, the trap activates.

Dodge For 1 AP from your next turn, increase your AC by +5. You can spend up to 5 AP for this action. The AC bonus will remain until the
beginning of your next turn and you can’t take the Dodge Action again until your next turn. If you’re driving a Vehicle, this also
applies to the Vehicle. For Surprise Rounds, those Surprised can't do Dodge for that turn.

Disengage For 3 AP, you can do the Disengage Action which avoids all Attacks of Opportunity for the remainder of your turn.

Equip / Switch For 2 AP you can switch the items from your hand to your inventory and vice versa. You can switch two H1 Weapons for one H2
Items Weapon and vice versa, or one/two items. You can also use this to take an item from a conscious ally but that ally must agree to it
or you’ll have to take it by force, or pickpocket. This action can also be used to grab one item or 5 Ammo outside of your person
within 5 ft of you off a table, corpse, etc. You must have a hand with no items to do this however. Dropping an item in your hand or
one that is stuck in you like a knife that was thrown is 1 AP.

80
Action Description

Environment For 2 AP, either open/close a door or window. This can’t be done to motion sensor doors. This is also used to climb over obstacles
Interaction that are at least half your height, but less than your height. Can also apply to those that are Large trying to squeeze through a 5 ft
space. For every size above it’s 2 AP more. For things of larger scale such as a massive door, it may cause 4 AP to open or close.
Overseer’s are to use the previous interactions as guides for interactions not mentioned.

Focus For 2 AP, you can add +10 Hit Chance to one Attack Roll, ignore up to -10 Hit Chance penalty, or inflict DT -3. This must be declared
before the attack roll is made. You may add as much AP as you’re able to from your turn. Focus cannot be applied to Overwatch.
Focus will apply to all Attack Rolls in an attack.

Get Up If Knocked Down, for 4 AP you immediately stand up into Standing Stance. With 2 AP you can turn around to be Prone Stance. For
3 AP you can enter Crouch Stance. For 2 AP you can help someone get up from Knocked Down to Standing.

High Jump For 3 AP you can jump up vertically up to STR/2 ft. The minimum is 6 inches. You can use this to reach nearby ledges to pull
yourself up or reach something that’s above you. If you're attempting to jump up vertically while climbing, roll AGI -2. If you fail,
you fall and you’re Knocked Down. If you succeed you jump up and climb successfully. This is considered a Movement action.

Long Jump For 4 AP you can jump 10 ft horizontally in a straight line. For every 5 ft after it’s AGI -2 up to 30 ft. If you fail, you jump up to half
the distance rounded up to the nearest 5 ft and you’re Knocked Down. You can attempt Long Jump while climbing in any direction
except vertically up. This is considered a Movement action.

Mount Costs 4 AP to get on or off a mount. Refer to Mounted Combat for additional information.

Overwatch Overwatch allows you to automatically attack the first opponent that enters your line of attack outside of their turn. This includes
changing stances, attacking, or moving in general. You must first declare the line of attack for Overwatch on their turn. From that
direction a line, anything that’s adjacent or on that crosses or moves, you’ll be able to attack. You can either do a Single or Burst
Attack for Overwatch. For Single Attacks you spend 1 AP and get -20 Hit CHance. For Burst Attacks you apply the Burst Attack Rules
with 1 AP per Shot. You’re limited by the weapons Burst Attack Limit.

Example: Bill declares Overwatch with 2 AP down an alleyway. A raider appears in the alleyway so Bill will do a Four Round Burst to
the Raider.

You can Overwatch with Melee Weapons and Unarmed Attacks but you can only do Single Attacks and any enemies that enter or
pass by your range are subject to trigger Overwatch. You only get one attack. If you’re Dual-Wielding you can have two different
lines of attack for Ranged Weapons. However, you must spend the AP for each weapon. Apply the Dual-Wield penalty.

For Melee you can do this as well for two weapons but you can choose to wait for two targets, or attack with both weapons to one
target. You cannot Dual or Tri-Wield Overwatch with weapons that aren’t the same Weapon Type. You can only do one Overwatch
once per round. If an item, like an Explosive, is thrown in the line of someone’s Overwatch, they can attempt to shoot it but with a
-100 Hit Chance. If more than one person has declared Overwatch in the same direction and an opponent is within both their
Overwatch line of sight, the character that declared Overwatch first is the one who can attack.

Pickpocket For 3 AP you can pickpocket or reverse pickpocket someone. Reverse pickpocket refers to when you put an item you already have
equipped into someone else’s inventory. If the item is an Explosive, it won’t activate until the end of your turn. The target that was
reverse pickpocketed successfully will automatically fail any SPECIAL Check the Explosive included. Refer to Explosives. You can only
pickpocket those that aren’t aware of your presence. This can be through either Sneak, bumping into someone, or any physical
contact that would warrant a Sleight of Hand attempt. Refer to Sleight of Hand for additional information. The pickpocket is the
Attacker with Sleight of Hand and the one being pickpocketed is the Defender with Observation.

Reaction Reactions are non-typical maneuvers against attacks or environmental hazards outside of your turn. There are two types of
reactions: Minor and Major. Minor Reactions cost 2 AP from your next turn and they range from dodging incoming debris to
flipping a chair. Major Reactions cost 4 AP from your next turn and they can range from shoving an ally out of the way to using a
dead body as a temporary shield from incoming fire. Reactions cannot be used in place of specified AP Actions such as Attacks,
Movement, Overwatch, etc.

81
Action Description

Reload 2 AP to reload any item that has a Capacity or Duration. You only need the item you want to reload in your hand to do this action
but ammo or material must be in your inventory or within 5 ft of you. If an item specifies a Reload Cost, use that instead. You can
choose how much ammo to load into the weapon with the minimum being 1. Reload doesn’t have a Minimum AP. If you ever get 0
AP for Reload, it’s a Free Action.

Sense For 2 AP, you can use Observation to detect opponents using Sneak. For the Sense Action, the one doing the action is the Attacker
and rolls Observation. Instead of the Defender rolling, it’s the difference of the previous Sneak result. If the Attacker wins they
aren’t affected by Sneak Attacks from the target unless they Sneak again and succeed. They’ll also know where the Sneaking target
is. If they fail they’ll be unaware of where the Sneaking target is and Sneak Attacks can affect them. You can only do this action once
per turn.

Set-Up For 5 AP, you can prepare a weapon that can do this action. When you do this action, the weapon cannot be moved from its place
but you can change Stances. You cannot do this stance while Mounting. Weapons that are in Set-Up can be left in place for another
to use as if it's equipped as a Free Action as long as their hands are available. You can only have one weapon in Set-Up in a 5 ft
space. Weapons that can Burst have the Burst penalty halved when in Set-Up.

Sneak It costs 2 AP to Sneak. You can’t Sneak if your opponents can see you or it's obvious where you are. Running breaks Sneak. This can
only be done once per round.

Stabilize For 4 AP, you can attempt to get someone adjacent to you who is Comatose to 1 HP and Unconscious. Roll Doctor -50 for

nothing happens and you’ll have to try again. If the one you’re attempting this action on is both Comatose or Unconscious, upon
succeeding in the Skill Check the Bleed will also be removed. This action can also be used to stop any Bleed or Burn on yourself or
someone adjacent to you and a Skill Check isn’t required. You can also remove Dazed, Stunned, or Unconsciousness from someone
adjacent to you. You can only remove one Status Effect per action. This also includes Unconsciousness.

Use Held Item Costs 2 AP and must be already in hand. Use an item that doesn’t have an AP Cost such as a Stealth Boy, Stimpak, etc. and activate
its effect. This includes eating 1 Serving of Food or Water and switching the Muzzle on a weapon. Some items may require more
than one hand to use. This is used to prep landmines. It won’t activate upon prep unless at the end of your turn someone is within
the radius. Items that have a specific time like the Fire Starter Kit require the entire turn for however long it takes the item to
activate its effect. If you wish to use an item in your hand that’s equipped like a Knockout Juice to an opponent, you use the item
like an H1 Improvised Weapon. For the Attack Roll you can use either Unarmed or Melee Weapons to see if you hit. If you hit, apply
the item effects as normal.

Use Skill/ Attempting to do a quick lockpick, hack a terminal, etc. is upon the Overseer’s discretion. If the Overseer deems the action to take
SPECIAL too long, it may cost turns. Below are a few examples. If certain actions take turns, the player rolls for the check at the end of the
last turn.

4 AP: Quick glance at an area with a PER or Observation check. Attempt to Goad an opponent by insulting them and making them
roll CHA -4 or a Social Skill that’s applicable to what you say.
6 AP: You clear some heavy rubble out of the way with a STR -4.
2 Turns: Hacking an Easy Difficulty Terminal with Computer Science.
4 Turns: Lockpicking an Easy Difficulty Lock with Sleight of Hand.

Wait Action Unlike Overwatch, Wait Action activates upon a specific action that may occur during combat.

Example: You can hold your action on flipping a switch until the mutant has been pushed into its cage by the party, closing a door
after all members of your party have stepped through, etc. This costs 3 AP.

 Attack Rolls & Hit Chance
Attack Rolls are Skill Checks with Combat Skills. The penalties for these Attack Rolls are the AC of
your target and any Hit Chance that may apply. Hit Chance are additional bonuses and/or
penalties that can stack. Upon the initial 1d100 roll, you must first determine if the attack is a
Critical Success or Failure. If the attack is a Critical Success or a Critical Failure, Refer to Critical
Chance for additional information.

When an Attack Roll is made, apply any bonuses you have first, then apply penalties. If after all
penalties and bonus the result is a positive number, and you’re above the target’s AC, you hit. If
you miss an attack, any effects from your attack won’t activate. You know the AC of everyone
you can see. For Damage refer to How to Calculate Damage.

Example: If you had 200 Small Guns, and an additional +20 Hit Chance from another source, and
were making an attack with a -50 Hit Chance penalty, your Small Guns would count as 150, not
170.

You can attack through ally spaces, but not through enemy spaces. If you wish to attack an ally
however, the ally can choose to let you attack them. In this case, as long as the result isn't a
negative or a Critical Failure, you’ll hit. However, if an attack specifies all are hit in the line of
attack, allies can be hit in this circumstance. This also applies to attacks with a radius. Refer to
Radius for additional information in the Items Section. The player and the Overseer must always
state in what direction the character or non-player character (NPC) is facing.

 Types of Attacks
With your Combat Skills, you can do three types of attacks: Single, Targeted, and Burst. All
weapons have a specific AP Cost. The cost for each depends on the weapon or attack. If a Type
of Attack isn’t stated, you cannot do it. There are a few subcategory Types of Attacks as well
which are Special Moves and Dual Wield Attacks. Refer to their sections near the end of Combat
for additional information. For ranged attacks, see Weapon Range.

Single Attack
Single Attacks are the standard attack made by you. It’s one Penalty Target

 Critical Success & Failure
This is when Critical Chance applies. You cannot critically succeed or fail with Support Skills. You
can only critically fail/succeed once per Attack Roll. First observe the initial 1d100 roll. If you roll
within your Success Range the attack is a Critical Success. If you roll within your Failure Range,
the attack is a Critical Failure. Critical Failures always miss. Refer to Critical Success Limits for
additional information.

Only your Success Range can increase from Critical Chance bonuses from Targeted Attacks,
Perks, Traits, etc. The maximum Success Range is 50. If you get a Critical Success, the attack
always hits regardless of any abilities, perks, etc. All damage from the Attack Roll is doubled.
This doesn’t apply to True. Next, roll a 1d10 on the Critical Success Table for a special effect
directed to your intended target. Afterward apply DT and DR. If you roll within your Failure
Range, roll 1d10 on the Critical Failure Table and the result affects you. If the attack includes
ammo, the ammo is expended.

If something increases your Critical Success Damage, the percentage increase is added instead
of multiplied. If the Damage states you get +50%, the Critical Damage is 250% instead of
increasing by 50% after doubling.

If you get a Critical Success for a Targeted Item Attack, only double damage will apply. You
cannot roll on the Critical Table. If you ever finish anything off with a Laser Weapon and a
critical hit, they’ll turn to ash. For Plasma Weapons, they’ll turn into a green ooze. This does not
apply towards Player Characters. Loot from these corpses is determined by the Overseer’s
discretion. You can’t cancel out a Critical Success with another Critical Success.

 Special Moves (SM)
Melee Weapons and Unarmed have a unique tactic: Special Moves. SMs allow for flexibility in
combat by applying effects, such as Stun, higher CC, more damage, etc. All SMs have a Skill
Requirement and once you meet it, you’ll automatically learn it. You must always roll the Attack
Roll unless specified, in which case it’s usually a SPECIAL Check. SMs that lack a Skill
Requirement are learned automatically. All SMs, even if they don’t have an Attack Roll, are
considered an attack.

For SMs, the AP cost is +1 of the Single Attack that you perform. If the AP Cost is reduced, it’s
still AP +1 but it’s of the new AP and not the original. The minimum AP for an SM is 2. Robots
cannot do SMs with their Legs. You must specify which weapon you’re doing the SM with.
SMs do not count as a Single Attack.

Some SMs can be Targeted SMs which are both an SM and a Targeted Attack. The AP Cost is +2
of the Single Attack. The minimum AP for a Targeted SM is 3. You apply the bonuses and
penalties of the Targeted Attack towards the Body Part. Some SMs can only be Targeted SMs.
They function the same as all Targeted SMs. Targeted SMs do count as a Targeted Attack.

Below is a Table with Elements. They’ll provide additional information regarding this. For
Damage use the Damage of the Weapon you are using for the Special Move. For Creatures, use
their Unarmed Attack for the Damage. Some items have unique SMs that are learned
automatically and can only be used with that weapon. Many SMs apply Attacker vs. Defender.
If the Defender succeeds, the effect of the move doesn’t happen. Damage will still be inflicted if
it hits.

Elements Description

Body (X) X specifies if you have to do the Unarmed Attack with Head, Arm, or Leg for the damage and effect. If it says Any, you can do it
with all three.

Handy You ignore the Attack Roll and do the SM. You inflict no damage or item effects. All Unarmed SMs with Handy cost 4 AP. All Handy
Unarmed SMs require your entire body to do the SM and you must be adjacent. If the Defender is in a Handy Unarmed SM that
prevents them from doing Movement Actions and they’re able to attack the Attacker, the Attacker’s AC is halved, but the
Defender’s AC is 0. For Handy Melee Weapon SMs the range is of the weapon.

Stay The target cannot do Movement Actions on their turn. If you move while you have them in a specific SM, your target will move
with you but you can only do the Walk Movement. If you Run on the same turn you do this SM, you have to Walk but apply the
Run penalty till the end of your turn. You cannot do SMs to targets who you already have in a SM.

Target (X) X specifies what Body Part must be targeted to do the SM. If it says None you cannot do a Targeted SM with it. If it states Any, any
Body Part can be Targeted.

Hold - Elements: Handy, Stay, Target (None)

Creatures can attempt this SM with their mouth instead. Roll Attacker STR vs. Defender STR or AGI. If the Attacker wins, the
Defender is now in Hold. The Attacker can still attack but without one arm of their choice. The amount of targets you can have in
Hold is equal to the amount of arms. For each target you have in Hold, you cannot use that arm. They can switch the arms only
on their turn as a Free Action. The Attacker has to spend AP equal to the SM in order to maintain it once per round at the
beginning of their turn. If they lack the AP or don’t do this, the Hold ends. The Defender can attempt to escape for 4 AP during
their turn. The same check conditions are repeated and the Defender is the one held in the Hold. Someone outside of Hold can
attempt to break the Defender free. In this case the one doing the Hold is still the Attacker. If you do Hold on someone who is
Knocked Down, they are no longer Knocked Down. You cannot do Hold to someone who is already in Hold. If you’re the Attacker
and you're Stunned or Knocked Down, the Hold ends. A Defender in a Hold cannot be Knocked Down.

Apply everything from Hold to Body Shield. If you succeed however, you’ll be able to use the Defender as a shield. You can only
do this to those of your Size or below. If they’re of equal size, you get AC +30. If they’re smaller, you get AC +15. If an attack
directed at you hits, you take the damage as normal, but if it misses, the Defender takes the damage instead. If the attack is
directed at the Defender they have no AC. If the target you had in Body Shield dies, is Comatose, or Unconscious, they can still be
held but if the body is considered to be too damaged the AC bonus may not apply. The Attacker’s AC isn’t halved when in Body
Shield.

Choke Hold 75 Elements: Handy, Stay, Target (None)

Apply everything from Hold to Choke Hold. You cannot attack with your Arms when doing Choke Hold. If you’re one size bigger
than your target you only need one arm. If the Attacker wins, the Defender starts to Suffocate. Attackers have two options:

Option 1: The Attacker can choose to render the Defender Stunned for every round the Defender has been in a Choke Hold. On
the turn of the Attacker’s choice, roll Attacker STR vs. Defender END. For every round the Defender has been in Choke Hold they
get END -1. Upon success the Defender is Stunned equal to the amount of rounds they were Choke Hold and Knocked Down. If
the Attacker fails, Suffocation, the END Penalty, and Choke Hold Rounds are reset for the Defender. The Defender is still in the
Choke Hold but the Attacker must try again. Suffocation doesn’t reset if the Defender is underwater and cannot breath.
Option 2: Attackers can attempt to choke the Defender to death. The Attacker must keep the Defender restrained up to the
Defenders Suffocation duration. If the Attacker is successful in bringing the Defenders Suffocation to 0 (Perks, VP, etc. can delay
this per action) choose to kill the Defender immediately with Reaper Checks being ignored, or render the Defender Unconscious
for 2 hours. The Attacker can do Option 1 during Option 2 at any time except on the turn the Defender would be rendered to 0
HP.

target, they’ll roll Attacker STR +2 vs. Defender AGI. Attacker is the thrower and the Defender is the target. If the Attacker wins,
both the Defender and the one being thrown will be Knocked Down and Fall Damage is applied. If the Defender succeeds, the
one thrown will end up in front of the Defender unharmed.

Comatose & Reaper Checks

If your HP is reduced to 0, you’re considered Comatose. While Comatose you are unaware and
unable to interact with anyone or the environment around you, you can’t use Perks that require
AP to be used, you can’t talk or move, and your Total AC is 0. The only action you can take is to
roll for Reaper Checks. You drop any items in your hands. Effects from Addiction, Stuns, Poisons,
active Consumables, etc. are still active for the turns and time stated. Reaper Checks only apply
to Player Characters.

Reaper Checks are rolls made to determine whether you live or die. You can only roll one
Reaper Check a turn or out of combat once every 10 seconds. First, roll a 1d100. If you roll
below 51, you get a success, otherwise, you get a failure. Keep track of the successes and
failures for you must continue to roll until you get either three successes or three failures.

 Crafting
Crafting is a fundamental mechanic to the wasteland. Let players be able to create and invent
devices and gear to survive the wasteland. You may choose to halt the progress of crafting at
any time to continue it later. Your progress is kept from before. You can craft while in a moving
vehicle as long as it doesn’t exceed 20 mph and you’re not driving. You can’t craft while
traveling on foot.

You can learn recipes for crafting from others teaching you, finding blueprints, or attempting to
make it yourself without prior knowledge upon the Overseer’s discretion.

What Can You Craft Already?

During Character Creation before a Campaign starts, you’ll be able to know how to craft items
depending on your skill and their rarity. For Common you need 75 in the skill and for
Uncommon you need 100. Anything you don’t know how to make you’ll have to find the
recipes or dismantle the item itself to learn how to make it. This applies to items associated
with the skill. For Gunsmith, refer to Crafting Weapons for the Combat Skill requirements. Some
items specify what skills they can be crafted with. These will have the Artisan (X) Quality. Be
sure to check as you might be surprised on what you’ll be able to already craft.

Along with the weapons, you know how to make the ammo for them, except for Rare and up.
However, this only applies to Guns and Energy Weapons. This does not apply to Tools,
Explosives, and Gear. This is assuming you’re making a low level character ranging from 1 - 3.

For Robot Part Materials refer to Robot Configuration. For some Armor Sets such as N.C.R.
Recruit Armor and Legionary Recruit Armor, Overseer discretion is advised. Below is a chart
explaining the skill requirement and rarity. If an item states it can be crafted with another skill,
this is applied to it. Rare, Radical, and Atomic item recipes are unavailable during Character
Creation unless the Overseer allows it. Overseers, refer to Starter Equipment for
recommendations.

How To Craft
When you craft an item, they all follow the same process. The time it takes to craft is
determined by either its weight, its rarity, or it’s specific to the item or process. This depends on
the item you’re crafting and is explained in each respective section. The amount of Skill checks
and the penalty is determined by its rarity. Below is a chart with the Skill penalty depending on
the rarity of the item.

Rarity Penalty

Common -50

Uncommon -75

Rare -100

Radical -125

Atomic -150

The crafting process is simple. Once you choose the item you want to craft and have all the
materials gathered, you first look at if its time is based on weight or rarity. Now, you’ll have to
spend time crafting. The materials used to make the item cannot be used until the item is
crafted or it’s dismantled. Some items may require other materials and are stated in their
descriptions. The materials used don't exceed that of the item. The additional materials are not
an addition to the total weight, but are included in it. If an item requires Energy Ammo to craft,
it must be fully charged.

Example: The weight of a Crude Bow is 2 lbs. You can use either 1.5 lbs of Scrap Metal or Wood,
but the other 0.5 lbs is the Fabric listed in its description.

The rarity dictates when and how many times you roll. If you’re crafting a Common,
Uncommon, or Rare item, you roll at the halfway point of the time necessary to craft the
item. If the item is Radical or Atomic, you roll every quarter of the time. If you succeed, you
can continue spending time on crafting. If you fail, you’ll lose all materials that were used and
you’ll have to start all over again.

If you succeed on the first check, but fail the following check you don’t lose the progress. You'll
have to spend time crafting again, and once you progress to the checkpoint, you roll again. Your
consequence for failing is wasting time, instead of ruining your raw materials.

102
Example: Tim wants to craft a 9mm Pistol. It weighs 3 lbs, its crafting time is based on weight,
and its rarity is Common. The total time for crafting a 9mm Pistol is 3 Hours. Tim spends an hour
crafting. He’ll stop for a little bit and then craft for another 30 min. Since the crafting time has
been one 1 hour and 30 min, Tim must roll Gunsmith with the penalty being -50 because it’s a
Common item. If he succeeds, he only needs to spend another hour and 30 min and roll again
the same check. If Tim succeeds, he crafts the 9mm Pistol. If he failed the second check he’d
have to spend another hour and 30 min and roll the check again.

Some items can be crafted in batches. Crafting in batches refers to only having to roll as if you’re
crafting one item but resulting in making more of the item. You need materials for each item
when batch crafting.

Teamwork Crafting
Anyone that helps can assist in rolls with the Assist Action or do a roll for them. Up to two
people can work on the same item but only one can roll for the check. The bonus for Assist
Action will only apply if you helped them for half the time before the check is rolled.

Condition
Condition is the durability of an item. This affects all items and there are three types: Pristine,
Broken, and Destroyed. Pristine is the highest Condition with it being the most effective and
Broken being unable to use the item but it's intact and can be repaired. Refer to Repairing Items
for additional information. Destroyed items cannot be used or salvaged at all and will cease to
exist. Consumables and Literature can only be Pristine or Destroyed. It’s always assumed you
maintain your equipment to keep it at the Condition it is.

When an item is hit, the amount of damage from one Attack Roll and what the item is dictates if
it will be Broken or remain Pristine. The Overseer ultimately decides when this occurs.

When it comes to Armor you’re wearing, it’s more resilient than a standard item like a gun and
it takes far more damage for it to go down a Condition. If in one Attack Roll you take damage
equal to double the Max DR, it’ll go down a Condition.

Overseers are free to increase or decrease this depending on the situation. There is an order as
to what would be Broken first. The order starts with Armor Set, Under Armor, Helmet. If you’re
in an Exo Suit, the Power Armor Plating comes before the Armor Set.

103
Repairing Items
Items that have the ability to be Broken can be repaired to Pristine. You use the skill needed to
craft the item in order to repair it. If multiple skills can be used, only one can be applied for the
Repair process. When repairing Broken items you’ll need half of each material needed to craft.
You must spend an hour doing the repair and once the time is complete you do a Skill check.
The penalty depends on the rarity, but is reduced by 25.

If you fail, the item and materials are Destroyed. If you succeed, the materials are removed and
the item will be Pristine. If one of the materials is an item, that item must be Pristine in order to
be used for repairs. For Ammo, you can fix in a batch of ten with one check. You can mix ammos
of different rarities, however, the penalty is that of the highest rarity item for the entire batch. If
you don’t have the means of repairing items, you can try to find a shop that can do it for you.
Often the charge is 50% of the Broken items value.

Repairing DR
You can also use the repair process to get DR back for Armors. The penalty is that of the highest
Armor you are fixing. If you fail, you only waste time. If you succeed your Armor’s DR is returned
to full. You can do this up to two Armors at once. If any Mods are attached to the Armor they
are included in the repair as well. If they’re not attached, they count as an Armor to repair. Base
DR cannot be repaired.

104
Crafting Weapons
When crafting weapons, time is determined by its weight. If Size Material/Value Multiplier

Dismantling
You won’t know how to craft every single item in the wasteland, but there's a way. You have to
attempt to dismantle the item. Dismantling is the process of taking apart the item and putting it
back together in an effort to understand how it works. The time and penalty is dependent on
the rarity as stated in the table. The skills used correspond to what you use to craft it.

Dismantling functions the same as crafting. However, if you fail any of the checks, the item
you’re dismantling will be in parts and you don’t learn the recipe. If you succeed you put the
item back together in one piece and you’ll know the recipe. You cannot dismantle a Broken item
if attempting to learn the recipe. Items that are modded must be dismantled separately if you
don’t know how to make them. This includes mods that can’t be removed from the item.

For Ammo you may dismantle up to ten of the same rarity at a time. This doesn’t apply to
Ammo that can only be made one at a time. If the Ammo is modded and cannot be removed
and if you succeed in dismantling it, you’ll know how to make the Ammo and the Mod. You
cannot dismantle Chems, Concoctions, and Drinks to get materials, but you can dismantle them
to learn the recipe but only through a Station. The container is gained if it includes one. It is
Destroyed in the process. For Explosives use the Engineer skill to dismantle.

You can also choose to dismantle without having to do rolls for the purpose of obtaining the
materials only. The time for this will be halved but you won’t learn the recipe of the item. You
need at least 100 in the skill used to craft the item in order to do this. If you dismantle a Broken
item just for the materials, you can only get materials from it but only half of each.

Robot Scavenging
If you ever find a damaged Robot in your adventures either from defeating them or finding
them, you can attempt to scavenge their Robot Parts with Computer Science or Engineer. The
Robots have been inoperable for several years or they were killed. This doesn’t apply to Robot
Companions or Robots that are on and active. The Overseer decides when this is applicable.
Robot Body Parts are upon the Overseer’s discretion. Below is the scavenging chart.

Size Penalty Time Robot Parts Per lb

Small -10 10 min 1d4

Medium -20 20 min 1d6+2

Large -30 30 min 1d8+4

Huge -40 50 min 2d6+8

Gargantuan -50 1 Hour 2d8+12

Downtime Crafting
An alternative method to crafting is Downtime Crafting. You must already know how to craft the
item, you must have 125 in the Base Skill to craft the item, and the proper tools or Stations if it
requires any. No checks are required but the crafting time is doubled. You cannot do Downtime
Crafting if you have Fatigue. Perks that half the time to craft will also half Downtime Crafting
time.

113
 Implants
Implants are permanent body enhancements installed in your brain. Implant schematics have to
be found and are upon the Overseer’s discretion. The body can’t handle too many implants. The
limit is equal to half your END. Going above this limit will result in the character’s death with no
revival and all perks and abilities are ignored from all sources. First you must acquire a Blank
Implant. These are extremely rare items found in the wasteland.

Afterward, you choose what Implant to apply in the list below. You cannot change the Implant
once the first roll is made. You roll Chemistry in quarters for 12 hours with the penalty being
-100. If you succeed the Implant will be complete. Knowledge of these Implants must be found
as schematics in the wasteland.

Lastly, you use Doctor for six hours halfway rolling -100 and at the end another -100. If you fail
halfway, the patient gets Fatigue +1 and you’ll have to do the surgery all over again. The same
will apply if you fail the last check. You cannot stop during the six hours; you have to do the
surgery for six hours straight. Once you finish the implant will be successfully installed. The
Doctor process also applies for removing an implant.

Prone.

Voice Change You’ll become mute.

116
Making Schematics
If you want to share a schematic for an item you know how to craft, you can write it down in a
book, paper, or parchment. It’ll take 10 minutes per rarity starting with Common. When you
have a schematic or are being taught but you don’t know how to craft it, you have to roll the
skill pertaining to the schematic with the penalty depending on the rarity for crafting. You roll
once. If you succeed you can craft what’s in the schematic. If you fail you’ll have to do it again.
Verbal teaching is at the GM’s discretion.

Custom Ideas
Ideas will often come across your mind and you won’t be able to find it in the Core Book. That’s
fine. Talk to your GM and discuss if the ideas are feasible. These ideas can range from wacky
inventions like Extend-O-Legs for someone Small so they can reach the top shelf to a unique
Special Move you thought of. This can also apply to mods or items you feel you’ll be able to
think of without the need of a schematic.

GM’s may require you to make a few INT checks to be able to conceptualize the idea for an
invention, or perhaps you’ll have to dedicate some time training with Melee Weapons with a
few checks for a couple of days to practice this new Special Move you thought of. Communicate
clearly with your GM. If an invention you thought of is approved, apply the standard crafting
process depending on the item. Materials for the item are up to the GM.

 Robot Configuration
The best part about having your own robot, or being a robot, are all the possible upgrades and
parts you can craft. This section covers how to manage Robots and they’re parts. You don’t
know how to make any robots at the start of Character Creation at Level 1. For higher levels talk
to your Overseer. Some Robots are impossible to know how to build depending on their
location. Robot’s will always have a Conductive Quality. Robots need three things in order to
function and be alive: a body, a Memory Core, and a Power Core.

Robots get additional Armor to all their Base and Max HP depending on their size. Refer to the
chart below. Size bonuses for the other Body Types apply except for Max HP as it’s already
included in the table.

Size Description

Small Max HP +30, all DT +2

Medium Max HP +60, all DT +5

Large Max HP +120, all DT +10

Huge Max HP +240, all DT +15

Gargantuan Max HP +480, all DT +20

All Robots are powered by a Fusion Core. It acts as their heart and it can power them for a very
long time. It’s often located in the torso but if the Robot lacks a torso it’s located in the head. It
takes one minute to remove or insert a Fusion Core. When a Robot dies, the Fusion Core is
destroyed.

 Vehicles
Working Vehicles are extremely rare in the Fallout world. They can range from a simple Rowboat
to a Verti-Bird. The Pilot skill revolves around the usage of Vehicles in combat and traveling.
They open the world to players on a much larger scale. Being able to travel great distances
within a matter of hours changes the course of a campaign. Vehicles are not to be given to
players but they are earned through either preying it off a powerful faction or making their own
through sweat, blood, and tears.

It's highly recommended that Overseers talk with their player's about the presence of Vehicles
before the campaign starts. If they put points in the Pilot skill and never get the opportunity to
use it, they'll be disappointed.

If you do plan to use Vehicles, it’s best to introduce them at a small scale at Level 5. Small scale
could be a bicycle, or a Steamboat that travels up and down a river. At Level 8 or above, the
party should have the experience and wealth to have access to a car, motorcycle, etc. to make
travel easier.

Vehicles make anyone a target in the wasteland and they’re easy to spot since most of them are
loud. But aside from being targets, vehicles require heavy maintenance. You’ll need an engine,
fuel, tires, plating, a frame, etc. just to get a working car. Make sure your players know the
responsibilities of owning a vehicle.

Vehicles in Combat function similar to standard combat, but don’t’ be afraid to keep it restricted
to them. Vehicle chases, jumping off ramps in order to crash into a building, crashing into other
vehicles, these are all examples of situations that could prove to be difficult to handle, but be
realistic and reasonable in these situations.

Overseers, we do not cover every vehicle in existence. It’s best to use a vehicle that’s similar to
what you want and modify it slightly. Don’t make it overbearing and add several mechanics. An
example of this would be how vehicles such as aircraft carriers or air ships like the Prydwen can
use the standard Vehicle rules, but due to the size and nature, it’s very difficult and situation to
have it apply exactly. These are structures or environments which can be piloted. These are best
to use outside of combat.

unless you force them to stop with the Brake actions. They cannot turn without doing the Turn
Action. If you don’t break, the Vehicle will continue to move in the direction of the previous
round. The Vehicle must move at least 2 AP equivalent in distance of the Speed action every
turn. Just like Movement, you can only choose one Speed action.

If AP was spent for the Vehicle and another Driver takes control, the Vehicles AP isn’t reset.
They’ll continue from the AP that the Vehicle had left.

Action Description

 Stunts
Stunts are special techniques you can do with Vehicles. You use AP to do these actions and they
usually come with a penalty that applies to Pilot. The Overseer can declare situations like
drifting, jumping a gorge using a ramp, etc. as a Stunt but that’s upon their discretion. Some
Stunts may not be possible if you’re on a very small Vehicle and you're targeting a larger one.
This is upon the Overseer’s discretion. Below are common Stunts you can do.

 Vehicles List
The Vehicle List consists of the base stats for vehicles. Vehicles are not considered items except
for value. The value of all Vehicles includes every part used to make it. For every Seating +200
Storage is also included. Vehicles are divided into the following categories: Lightweight, Civilian,
Sea, Heavy, Military, APC, Air Military, and Tank. Each category has base stats and the specific
vehicle has slight modifications to them. For Vehicle Size, it’s referred to as Length (L), Width
(W), and Height (H).

 Tanks
The Tank is a devastating weapon that can destroy structures in an instant. If the party manages
to get a working tank, you’ve given them not only a weapon of mass destruction, but the
greatest nuisance to maintain and operate. There are five positions in operating a tank. Exiting
and Entering the tank costs 5 AP. The weapons attached do not count towards the Storage but
ammo does. While in a Tank you get Full Cover. Tanks have four holes where they can shoot, the
top entrance, one hole at each side, and one at the front. They can have only one Heavy Cannon
attached. They can only have up to two Swivel Mounts attached.

Position Description

Pilot Drives the tank. Uses the Vehicles AP to operate.

Cannoneer Fires the tank’s main cannon with Big Guns +50. Firing the main cannon costs 6 AP. Changing this weapon
requires only one person, four hours, and a Vehicle Repair Station. For each person helping, reduce the
time by 1 hour up to 2. The cannon cannot shoot in the same space it’s in nor straight up.

Commander Assist in navigating the tank and can open the top hatch and fire the Machine Gun/Minigun on a swivel
mount. When scouting, get a PER +2 and Observation +25. While at the swivel mount you get Half Cover
instead of Full Cover.

Gunner While within the Tank you can attack using your own weapons. You can have up to two Gunners.

Loader Loads ammo into the main cannon of the tank. Reloading the main cannon is 4 AP. Some tank loaders also
operate the tank’s radio and communications system.

 Light & Heavy Air
Air Vehicles are vehicles that can fly like planes and helicopters. There are two types, Light and
Heavy. Finding a working Air Vehicle is harder than any other Vehicle; learning how to fly one is
just as difficult. While in an Air Vehicle you get Three-Fourths Cover. Air Vehicles function the
same as Land Vehicles except they can go up and down and they have unique weapon
categories. The categories are Turrets, Cannons, and Explosives. If the Air Vehicle doesn’t state a
category, it doesn’t get one.

Air Vehicles that have two pilots have control restrictions. The individuals go on the same turn
but only one pilot can move the plane, while the other uses its weapons. They can swap who
uses what every round. If the Engine is ever out, the plane will start to fall immediately. Pilots
piloting the same Vehicle will go on the same SQ. When both Pilots roll for SQ, they decide
which one to use. They cannot change the SQ until the end of combat. The Pilot skill is used for
all weapon categories in the Air Vehicle. Weapons and Explosives in the Vehicle are not included
in the price. The weapons attached do not count towards the Storage limit. While in an Air
Vehicle, you get Full Cover.

Air Combat Cannons

Air Vehicle spaces are 200 ft by 200 ft by 200 ft and they can Cannons are Launchers attached to the Air Vehicle. You must

Turrets
Turrets are machine guns attached to the Air Vehicle. The
turrets specify how many are on the Vehicle and which one it
is. The AP Cost is that of the Weapon. Burst Attack Penalties are
ignored when attacking with the weapons of a Verti-Bird. The
Pilot skill is used for attack rolls instead of the Big Guns skill.

Turrets have a mag size which depends on the Vehicle and you
must land in order to reload it. Mag Size applies to each Turret.
Nuclear Engines can infinitely power Energy Weapons attached
as long as they’re active. The Base Range of the weapon is
doubled but SR and Scopes cannot be applied. Set-Up Burst

 Vehicle Modifications
This section covers the various modifications that can be added to vehicles. Each modification
has a specified crafting time according to its type. If a quantity is not stated for a material, it’s
considered to be one as the requirement. All modifications must be found through the
wasteland. Possible locations are Vehicle Shops, Monster Truck Derby Ruins, and Military
Vehicle Stations. All crafting checks are done in quarters and the time is specific to the Vehicle
mod. Vehicle Mods are not considered items except for value.

Plating & Chassis

Plating and Chassis are mods that help Vehicles in their overall defenses. They take forty-eight
hours to complete for each skill required. For plating you make it for the entire vehicle. Only one
Plating and one Chassis can be applied to a Vehicle. The material amount needed for the mod is
equal to half the HP of the Vehicle. Value is per pound of the material needed multiplied by 2.
Upon removing the mod you’ll get the materials used in equal amounts. Chassis and Plating
Mods are specific to the Vehicle. You can transfer it between the same Vehicle but it’ll take six
hours to remove and another six hours to attach with no checks. These Mods cannot be applied
to Lightweight or Sea.

 Engines
Without an Engine, the Vehicle is just a large body of scrap. Engines will take one hundred and
fifty hours to complete for each skill required. 3 lbs of Lubricant are required after an Engine is
finished crafting. This doesn’t apply to the weight. Without this, the Engine won’t turn on even
if the power source is inserted. Lubricant must be replaced every two months or the Engine
won’t turn on. It’ll take 15 minutes to apply Lubricant. You cannot store more than the amount
stated. Only one Engine can be applied to a Vehicle. It takes two hours to remove or install
Engines.

 Turning Into A Mutant
Although rare, it’s possible for Humans and Ghouls to gain mutations. They can be gained
through overexposure of radiation, being injected or dumped into a vat of FEV, or experimented
on. However, only Humans have the potential to become a Super Mutant. Which type of Super
Mutant is upon the Overseer’s discretion. The Overseer will roll a 1d100 in secret and the result
is determined by the table. For a Mole Miner to turn into a Super Mutant it’s upon the
Overseer’s discretion.

The Overseer is to tell the player directly what they got in secret. The player is allowed to use
their Vault Points to reroll but players are free to keep it as a surprise for fun. No other perks or
abilities can be used to reroll. A Vault Point can also be spent if you roll from 91 - 100 to turn it
into a 1 - 10 result.

Roll Mutation Effect

1 - 10 Nothing happens, you’re immune to FEV, and you can’t get any more mutations. Forever.

11 - 59 Mutation chosen by the Overseer.

60 - 90 Super Mutant (Skin pigment is upon Overseer discretion)

91 - 100 Death (The character instantly dies and nothing can revive them. This includes perks and Vault Points).

Mutations will take a few days before they can be used by the Player. If they already have
Mutations, it’s possible to get another one but they may become horribly disfigured and if they
get the same mutation, refer to results for 1 - 10. The body can’t handle too many mutations.
The limit is equal to half your END. Going above this limit will result in the character’s death
with no revival and all perks and abilities are ignored from all sources.

The transformation for becoming a Super Mutant will take a few days and during that time
they’ll be prone to losing some memories, grow larger, lose their hair, and their skin will change
color depending on the type of Super Mutant. They get STR and END +2, Max STR and END will
increase by +2, they become immune to Radiation, they’ll be Large, gain Intimidation +30, and
Max HP +20.

You will retain all previous levels, skills, perks, etc. unless they're race and stat specific. This
includes previous mutations. If you’re already a Super Mutant for rolls 59 - 90 refer to results 1 -
10.

151
 Turning Into A Ghoul
A rare occurrence is a Human becoming a Ghoul due to overexposure to Radiation. If you
succeed on all of their Reaper Checks, over the next 24 hours you will undergo the
Ghoulification process. Your skin will slowly fall off as well as their hair. The remaining skin will
crinkle and weather, and your voice will become raspy and hoarse. You gain RR +80 and their
minimum Radiation count is 100; you no longer suffer the negative effects of Radiation until you
reach 999 Rads. You still retain their Human abilities such as Background Perks and stats. Lastly,
you also get Max LCK +1 and LCK +1.

 Party Composition
A party that stands together lives together. In the world of Fallout, you’ll face many enemies
that you‘ll either blast your way through or negotiate and come to terms with. This all depends
on how the party is set up and how they’ll compensate each other. The standard party will
consist of four players with the following focuses: Small Guns Soldier, Energy Weapons Doctor,
Melee Weapons Tank, and Charisma Support.

Each build is self-explanatory in its role but can splinter off into its own builds. The Small Guns
Soldier can either become a Sniper with rifles or a mercenary type with an Assault Rifle. They
might even go Big Guns instead. The Charisma Support can be the talker that also gives bonuses
while their allies are near them. Or they can take a more aggressive approach and become a
Dual Wielder.

Even if two players decide to do the same build such as Melee Weapons Tank, they may take
different approaches. One may go Charisma focus to support his Melee Weapon friend with
bonuses while the other is all about negating as much damage as possible to survive. Work with
your friends and always have fun.
