Stats[]

There are 7 basic values (stats), describing the character in Fallout. Here they are:

  • Strength (ST)
  • Perception (PE)
  • Endurance (EN)
  • Charisma (CH)
  • Intelligence (IN)
  • Agility (AG)
  • Luck (LK)

Stats are not being calculated. Each stat can have a value between 1 and 10 inclusively. The default value for all the stats is 5. Also, a player is given 5 free points to improve any of these stats at start.

Skills[]

There are 18 skill values the character in Fallout has. Skills are being measured in percent and have a value ceiling at 300% (200% in Fallout 1). Each skill has its basic value that is being calculated by a formula derived from the stats. All fractional values are being rounded down. Here are these formulas:

Small guns:

5 + 4 * AG [Fallout 2]
35 + AG [Fallout 1]

Big guns:

2 * AG [Fallout 2]
10 + AG  [Fallout 1]

Energy weapons:

2 * AG [Fallout 2]
10 + AG  [Fallout 1]

Unarmed:

30 + 2 * (AG + ST) [Fallout 2]
65 +(ST + AG) / 2  [Fallout 1]

Melee weapons:

20 + 2 * (AG + ST) [Fallout 2]
55 + (ST + AG) / 2  [Fallout 1]

Throwing:

4 * AG [Fallout 2]
40 + AG  [Fallout 1]

First aid:

2 * (PE + IN) [Fallout 2]
30 + (PE + IN)  [Fallout 1] NB: The in game tool-tip is incorrect. Calculates as 30 + (PE + IN) /2

Doctor:

5 + (PE + IN) [Fallout 2]
15 + (PE + IN) / 2  [Fallout 1]

Sneak:

5 + 3 * AG [Fallout 2]
25 + AG  [Fallout 1]

Lockpick:

10 + (PE + AG) [Fallout 2]
20 + (PE + AG) / 2  [Fallout 1]

Steal:

3 * AG [Fallout 2]
20 + AG  [Fallout 1]

Traps:

10 + (PE + AG) [Fallout 2]
20 + (PE + AG) / 2  [Fallout 1]

Science:

4 * IN [Fallout 2]
25 + 2 * IN  [Fallout 1]

Repair:

3 * IN [Fallout 2]
20 + IN  [Fallout 1]

Speech:

5 * CH [Fallout 2]
25 + 2 * CH  [Fallout 1]

Barter:

4 * CH [Fallout 2]
20 + 2 * CH  [Fallout 1]

Gambling:

5 * LK [Fallout 2]
20 + 3 * LK  [Fallout 1]

Outdoorsman:

2 * (EN + IN) [Fallout 2]
5 + (EN + IN) / 2  [Fallout 1]

The twelve non-combat skills are increased by 20 on Easy difficulty, and decreased by 10 on Hard difficulty.

Every experience level up a player will get

5 + 2 * IN

skill points for skill improvements. The more value has the skill the harder it is to improve:

0% - 100% : 1% further costs 1 skill point
101% - 125% : 1% further costs 2 skill points
126% - 150% : 1% further costs 3 skill points
151% - 175% : 1% further costs 4 skill points
176% - 200% : 1% further costs 5 skill points
201% - 300% : 1% further costs 6 skill points

In Fallout 1, it always costs 1 skill point to increase a skill.

Tag Skills[]

A player must choose (tag) any 3 of the skills as their primary skills at start. Tagging adds a permanent bonus of 20% to a skill and doubles its improvement score. On the experience level 12, a player can take a perk which allows them to tag another one untagged skill.

Misc[]

There are some miscellaneous parameters for a player in Fallout that cannot be changed directly. All values must be positive or equal to zero (with the except for Healing rate and Melee damage). The misc parameters are calculated based on the stats as well. All fractional values are being rounded down.

Hit points:

15 + 2 * EN + ST
Every time you gain a level this increases by 2 + EN / 2

Armor class:

AG

Action points:

5 + AG / 2

Carry weight:

25 + 25 * ST

Melee damage:

ST - 5
  • Note that this value has a minimum value of 1.
  • Note that this value is added to the maximum possible damage of an Unarmed or Melee attack. Therefore, only maximum damage potential is increased, not necessarily actual damage.
  • For example, a Crowbar has an unmodified damage output of 3-10 points. If Melee damage is 4, then the Crowbar will ultimately cause 3-14 points of damage.

Damage resistance:

0

Poison resistance:

5 * EN

Radiation resistance:

2 * EN

Sequence:

2 * PE

Healing rate:

EN / 3
* Note that this value will always be at least 1.

Critical chance:

LK

Traits[]

A player may choose up to 2 of the 16 traits at start. All traits have both positive and negative effects. Some of the effects are unknown or not obvious and are not yet figured out. Here are the known trait effects:

Damage and combat calculations[]

  • ND = net damage value
  • RD = random damage value produced from weapons hit damage range
  • RB = ranged bonus (RB=0 unless the player has Bonus Ranged Damage perk)
  • X = ammo damage multiplier
  • Y = ammo damage divisor
  • CM = critical hit damage multiplier (if no critical hit then CM=2, otherwise assigned value from critical hit table)
  • CD = combat difficulty multiplier (Easy=75, Normal=100, Hard=125)
  • AI = 1 if critical hit which ignores armor, otherwise 0
  • ADT = armor damage threshold value
  • ADR = armor damage resistance value
  • RM = ammo resistance modifier (only value allowed to be negative or positive in the equation)

Original:
ND = ((RD+RB) × (X/Y) × (CM/2) × (CD/100) - ADT/max(5*AI,1)) × (100 - max((ADR/max(5*AI,1) + RM),0) / 100

ND then rounded to nearest whole number

A hastily written calculator in C:

 #include <stdio.h>
 
 int main (int argc, char **argv)
 {
     float RD = 0, RB = 0, X = 0, Y = 0, CM = 0, CD = 0, ADT = 0, ADR = 0, RM = 0;
 
     printf("Enter parameter in format: >RD RB X Y CM CD ADT ADR RM\n");
     scanf("%f %f %f %f %f %f %f %f %f", &RD, &RB, &X, &Y, &CM, &CD, &ADT, &ADR, &RM);
     printf("Rolled: %f = (50 * %f * (%f/%f) * ((%f + %f)/%f)-%f)*(1-((%f+%f)/100))\n", (((50.0f * CM * (X/Y) * ((RD + RB))/(CD)))-ADT)*(1.0f-((ADR+RM)/100.0f)) , CM, X, Y, RD, RB, CD, ADT, ADR, RM);
 
     return 0;
 }

Both melee and hand-to-hand uses the same damage calculation procedure. If you're using a HtH attack, the bonus from the Bonus HtH Damage perk is added to the Melee Damage statistic, while any damage bonuses from the Special Unarmed Attacks (such as Hammer Punch) is added to the initially rolled damage figure (RD in the above formula).
