Basic Statistics – There are 7 basic statistics [or just “stats”]: strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility and luck [aka S.P.E.C.I.A.L.]. They all represent your characters inborn virtues and flaws. They determine your starting skill %, and starting derived statistics. At the beginning of game, you gain 5 character points to distribute among these stats.

Strength (ST)

Modifies: Melee damage, Hit Points, Carry Weight, many skills

Description: Raw physical strength and muscle power. Good for HtH characters. Rolls against this stat are used when you try to break doors down, bend iron bars and do other feats that require sheer force.

Modifies: Sequence, Ranged combat distance modifier, Detection, many skills

Charisma (CH)

LK rolls can determine if, for instant, your character is out of ammo lying half-unconscious on the ground, happens to find that loaded shotgun lying concealed and forgotten in the dust...Good for all you lucky bastards.

Base: 5 x EN Additional: per race

Description: There are many toxins and chemicals in post-nuclear world that just don’t mix well with human anatomy. That’s where BR kicks in. This is overall natural immunity to viruses, bacteria, airborne pathogens, mutation agents, poisons and the like.

Critical Chance (CC)

Base: equals LK in % Additional: none

There are six different areas under the “armor” for six different types of DR: normal, ballistic, laser, fire, plasma and explosion. Each piece of armor has its DR percentage that the character should add to their own. For example, if someone hits you for 20 points of damage and you have an DR 50%, you would receive only 10 dmg from that attack. LK also contributes a bonus or a penalty depending on that stat. You are either a winner or loser.

For example, if you help someone in his hour of need, that person will find you trustworthy and from now on you’ll have higher RM for that particular character. If it was a merchant, he could grant you a discount. If it was a Slaver, he may call you to join his guild. Note that different races mostly do not react well at first glance [or second] due to all-present racism in the wastes.
