Fallout is an RPG or role playing game with turn based combat and a pseudo isometric view. Character attributes. Edit. Fallout uses a character creation system called SPECIAL. SPECIAL is an acronym of Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck. These are the seven basic attributes of every character in the game. They are used to determine the skills and perks of the given character. The developers originally intended to use the GURPS3 system, but late in the development process they moved to the new SPECIAL system. There are 1. 8 different skills in the game. They are ranked from 0 to 2. The starting values for those skills at level one are determined by the players seven basic attributes or SPECIAL, but most of those skills would fall between 0 and 5. Every time the player gains a Level, they will be awarded skill points to be used to improve their skills, equal to five points plus twice their Intelligence. The player may choose to Tag three of the 1. A tagged skill will improve at twice the normal rate. Six combat skills Small Guns, Big Guns, Energy Weapons, Unarmed, Melee Weapons, Throwing. Eight Active skills First Aid, Doctor, Sneak, Lockpick, Steal, Traps, Science, Repair. Four passive skills Speech, Barter, Gambling, Outdoorsman. Books found throughout the game world can also improve some of those skills permanently, although books are scarce early in the game. However, after a skill reaches a certain Level, books no longer have any impact on that skill. Some non player characters can also improve Skills via training. How high a skill can be developed is affected by the characters Attributesa character with a low Intelligence will not be able to boost their Science rating as high as a character with high Intelligence, for example. Some skills can also be improved while having certain items equipped. For example, equipping lock picks would improve lockpicking skills.
