Fallout Settlement Services

The book does not mention the cost of services in normal cities and towns, so I have created a table of them here. The size of a
settlement or town is below. These are just guidelines to keep things consistent. Note that the GM may rule that some of
these services are not available in a given settlement of any size.

Size Type Pop Caps Rarity

1 Wasteland Farming Settlement (Finch Farm) 3-15 45 0

2 Prosperous Settlement (Republic of Dave, Greygarden) 16-40 100 1

3 Small Town (Junktown, Covenant, Bunker Hill) 41-100 200 2

4 Major Trade Town (Diamond City, Rivet City) 101-250 500 3

5 Well-Known City (Reno, The Pitt, San Francisco) 251-750 800 4

6 Wasteland Metropolis (New Vegas, Shady Sands, Sound City) 751+ 1200 5

Size: The number rating used later in this document to denote the minimum suggested size for a settlement to offer a service
publicly without having to roll to find it.

Type: A description of the settlement.

Pop: A general idea of the size of the settlement’s permanent population.
Caps: The suggested total number of caps that any one merchant has to spend on buying supplies from traders or players.
Rarity: The suggested maximum rarity for items that can be obtained here without rolling.
