3. Allocate Statistics

The S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system describes all main attributes (Strength, Perception,

Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, Luck). Every attribute starts at 5
(except where denoted via Traits or Racial) and you have 5 additional points to
spend. Additionally, you can subtract points to add more to another attribute.

Your attributes cannot go below your races minimum or above their maximum.
4. Calculate Secondary Statistics
(Spreadsheet handles this but verify code)

HP 15 + (STR + (2 X EN))
AP 5 + (Agility/2 Rounded Down) [Max 10]
Carry Weight 25lbs + (25 X STR)
Melee Damage STR - 5 [Min 1]
Crit Chance Base % Equal to LK
Sequence (Initiative) 2 x PE
Healing Rate Based on EN 1-5 1
6-8 2
9-10 3
11+ 4

Defense/Resistances
AC Base % Equal to AG
Damage Resistance Racial only
Poison Resistance 5 x EN = %
Radiation Resistance 2 x EN = %
Gas Resistance 0/0
Electricity Resistance 0

5. Calculate Base Skills

Small Guns 5% + (4 x AG)

Big Guns 0% + (2 x AG)
Energy Weapons 0% + (2 x AG)
Unarmed 30% + (2 x (AG + STR))
Melee Weapons 20% (2 x (AG + STR))
Throwing 0% + (4 x AG)
First Aid 0% + (2 x (PE +EN))

6. Pick 3 Tag Skills

Each tag skill gets an immediate +20 bonus, and a tag skill grows twice as fast as
a normal skill. When you spend skill points on a tag skill, it grows by 2 instead of
1 up to level 100.

7. Buy Inventory Items

Everyone starts with 2000 Caps. Starting out you can only buy from the
designated Character Creation Items Spreadsheets (there are multiple sheets
on this file).
