Introduction
Hello, I am E Red and I am a member of the unofficial official Fallout
2d20 Community on Discord, a friendly community dedicated to providing creating
and sharing homebrewed content for the TTRPG Fallout 2d20 by Modiphius
Entertainment. Such content provided ranges from Origins, statblocks, gameplay
elements, ideas and concepts for campaigns and their plotlines, as well as
useful tolls GMs may use for their games.
I am back to provide another piece of homebrew content for Fallout 2d20,

this time bringing it in the form of additional tinkering elements for the TTRPG
from ammunition crafting, gear crafting, as well as the crafting and application
of cybernetic implants. The crafting of equipment was inspired by the crafting
mechanics of Bethesda’s 2018 video game Fallout 76, while the cybernetics were
inspired by Cyberpunk Red and some art and concepts of post-apocalyptic
cybernetics I came across in the past.
The Tinker’s Workbench
Ammunition is essential for survival in the Wasteland, as without it firearms

are nothing more than fancy sticks you use to swing at your opponents. And in
the post-War world, the mass production of ammunition will be very scarce if
not impossible with the manufacturing companies and military of the United
States dying with the Old World. This leaves the responsibility of providing
ammunition for survival to the hands of the scavengers and survivors themselves,
leading to more violence as it has become a valuable resource to defend
themselves, their home, and family.
However, what if you could avoid and minimize such violence? What if you could
provide yourself with your own ammunition to yourself and loved ones? What if
you could provide your own ammunition to trade with scavengers for other goods
and supplies like food and drinkable water?
With those questions in mind, the tinker’s workbench is your best friend for
such endeavors, as it allows you to craft:
• Ammunition for both Physical and Energy weapons
• Grenades, mines, and other explosives
• Simple tinkering of handheld to small-sized equipment that other
workbenches cannot provide
The following rules provided to do such actions are not necessarily to be

followed 100% but they should help provide a guideline for GMs to introduce
such a mechanic into their game.
Crafting Ammunition
Crafting ammunition follows similar rules of other recipes on p. 211 of the CRB.
However, in addition to requiring Common, Uncommon, and Rare Materials,
ammunition also requires an additional reagent in order to be crafted –
gunpowder.
Gunpowder is a necessary reagent for ammunition as it allows the explosive

nature of bullets, making it important for the creation of firearm, artillery,
and rocketry ammunition.
Gunpowder can be found in certain storage containers at certain locations, such

as an ammunition box in an old military base or a small box in a police
department, through quantities of 1+2CD. Alternatively, gunpowder can be crafted
at a chemistry station with an INT+Science test at Difficulty 1. Crafting
gunpowder takes 30 minutes, but the duration can be halved by spending 2 AP if
the test is successful.
Quantity Materials Required

2+2CD Common Materials x2
Uncommon Materials x1
With that in mind, the necessary number of reagents necessary to craft

ammunition are as follows:
Complexity Materials Required

1 Common Materials x1
Gunpowder x1
Gunpowder x2
Uncommon materials x1
Gunpowder x2
Gunpowder x3
Rare Materials x2
Gunpwder x3
Uncommon materials x4
Rare Materials x3
Gunpowder x4
Crafting ammunition requires a tinker’s workbench and attempting an INT+Repair,

INT+Explosives, or INT+Science test depending on whether it is a Physical,
Energy, or an explosive round, with the Difficulty being determined by the
complexity of the ammo you are hoping to craft, minus your rank in the skill
(To a minimum of 0). If the final Difficulty of the test is 0 after taking your
skill into account, you can choose to succeed without rolling.
The length of time needed to craft ammunition is an hour, though it may be

halved by spending 2 AP if you are successful. However, each Complication you
roll adds an hour.
Succeeding on a test to craft ammunition grants you ammunition of the desired

type you wish to make. Failing a test, however, does not grant you the crafted
item; if you have failed the test then all ingredients you have used to craft
are lost. The following is a list of ammunition and their respective
requirements needed to craft them:

Ammo Crafting Perks

Crafting ammunition is quite a specialty in the Wasteland, and remains a very
niche skill. However, those skillfully trained in the craft can make ammunition
with east. To make crafting ammunition better, here is a perk that allows the
crafting of the more complex of perks.
Ammosmith
Ranks: 2
Requirements: Level 3+, Intelligence 8
Crafting ammunition is a niche yet important skill in the Wasteland to keep
yourself and allies well stocked. When crafting ammunition of Complexity 2 or
lower, the quantity is increased by +1CD.
At rank 2, ammunition of Complexity 3 and lower have the materials needed to
craft them halved rounded down, to a minimum of 1. In addition, the quantity of
ammunition of Complexity 3 and 4 is increased by +1CD.
Each time you take this perk, the level requirement increases by 7.
Crafting Explosives
Crafting explosives remain the same, from the materials needed and the perks
required as seen on the list that starts on p. 214 of the CRB under the Crafting
section of the Survival chapter.
The tinker’s workbench simply adds an additional station where one may craft
explosives if the chemistry station is not available or vice versa.
Crafting Equipment
Like ammunition, equipment is just as important when surviving in the Wasteland.
Anyone can scavenge what equipment they find in the wilderness, picking up
leftovers from past battles or coming across forgotten gear from pre-War sites.
But not many have the tools, let alone the skills, needed to craft the equipment
themselves.
Crafting equipment provides many benefits to you and your allies. You can
guarantee that the gear you have equipped is the top-quality ones available,
exclusive to you and your loved ones. You can sell your products to traders for
some caps, in which you can use to buy supplies you need or even start your own
business. You can even provide your custom gear to factions willing to pay for
them, giving yourself not just a hefty profit but also some favors as well.
Crafting equipment is a very important skill to have in the Wasteland, and now
it is a skill that you too can also have. Like ammunition, the materials needed
to craft equipment has similar rules of other recipes on p. 211 of the CRB.
Unlike ammunition, however, equipment do not have a special ingredient needed,
they simply require more materials for crafting.
Complexity Materials Needed

Rare Materials x6
Rare Materials x12
Rare Materials x12
Rare Materials x18
Like applying modifications, equipment need their respective workbenches to

craft them. For instance, an armor workbench is needed to craft armor while a
weapons workbench is needed to craft weapons, as they have unique tools to
produce such materials in the first place. However, due to their complexity and
size, Power Armor can only be crafted at a power armor station, assuming you
have a Power Armor Chasis with free slots for fitting.
When crafting weapons or armor at their respective workbench, an INT+Repair

test is needed to craft equipment. The Difficulty of those tests are determined
by the item’s Complexity minus your rank in that skill to a minimum of 0. If
your final Difficulty when making such tests is 0, you can choose to succeed
without rolling.
Crafting armor and weapons will take three hours each, but the duration of time
can be halved by spending 2 AP if the test is successful. Rolling a Complication,
however, adds an extra hour. When rolling a third Complication, you do not get
the desired equipment you wished to craft, and materials used are lost.
Due to their bulkier and more complex nature, Power Armor have their unique
recipes needed to craft which is shown in the Crafting Power Armor section of
this document.
Crafting Armor
An armor workbench is needed to craft armor as it has the tools necessary to

craft armor and adjust their size to their wearer.

Crafting Power Armor
Unlike standard armor, Power Armor have their own unique table of materials
required in order to be crafted as they are naturally heavier, bulkier, and
require more fitting during development. In addition, it requires an empty Power
Armor Chasis, or one that has an empty slot where you wish to craft the desired
Power Armor piece, as the frame allows for easier fitting of such armor. As
such, crafting Power Armor requires the use of a power armor station in order
to be crafted as it grants easier lifting and provides good angles when crafting
Power Armor pieces as they lie on the chasis during creation.

Like armor and weapons, crafting Power Armor takes a significant amount of time
to make due to their bulkier and more complex design than standard armor. Each
Power Armor piece takes four hours to perfectly and completely craft, but the
duration can be decreased by one hour by spending 2 AP if the INT+Repair test
is successful. Rolling a Complication, however, adds one additional hour to the
time it takes to craft. On a third Complication, the Power Armor piece you
wished to craft is not given and the materials used are wasted.

The Benefits of Custom-Made Equipment
It may not seem like much but since the equipment scavengers craft themselves
tend to be in much better quality and condition than those found on the bodies
of enemies or unlucky souls, assuming the scavengers care about their survival
of course.
Minus ammunition, the equipment that players have crafted will always have the
prefix Custom and offer a slight bonus as custom made weapons and armor tend to
be properly fitted and tested before being used on the field; Custom weapons
will receive an additional +1CD to their base damage while armor (Including
Power Armor) will receive an additional +1 to both their base Physical and
Energy DR. So a Custom Combat Rifle will have a base damage of 6CD, and a Custom
Combat Chest Piece will have a base Physical and Energy DR of 3.
Due to these small benefits to equipment, many groups and organizations try to
produce their own equipment for their men whenever possible as these small but
helpful benefits provide additional chances to get far in the Wasteland.
Crafted weapons will share the same value and weight as their standard
counterparts.
Cybernetic Implants
Though very rare in the post-War world, cybernetics aren’t entirely unheard of
in the Wasteland. In fact, some of the more technological advanced organizations
do undergo or have their members undergo cybernetic implants so they perform
better than standard men in the Wasteland. Two examples of this are Frank
Horrigan of the Enclave who was heavily operated on with implants that he was
more machine than man, and Conrad Kellog who received cybernetics from the
Institute that made him perform well in the Commonwealth to become the perfect
mercenary.
Some patients who have undergone cybernetic implantation, or similar procedures,

don’t even do it for combat or survival performance but to achieve a form of
longevity. Mr. House was kept alive since the Great War by sealing himself in
a life support chamber that kept him in stasis well beyond a human’s normal
lifespan. John-Caleb Bradburton, founder and CEO of the Nuka-Cola Corporation,
had his head cryonically-preserved by machines underneath his beloved amusement
park of Nuka-World.
Humanity: Tolerance to Cybernetics

Despite the benefits that cybernetics offer, they can be potentially dangerous
as they can be psychologically addictive and painful due to their effects on
the human body and mind. Because of this the physical body can only tolerate
and handle a number of implants before life-threatening effects take their toll,
depending on the individual.
Humanity is determined by the Endurance attribute as an individual’s physical

being and natural feelings that a standard, organic body provides such as taste,
smell, or just the overall feeling of touch of the world around them. A player’s
Humanity is calculated by taking the END attribute and multiplying it by 5.
END x 5 = Total Humanity

So as an example, if a player’s END attribute are 8, their total Humanity would
be a value of 40.
Loss of Humanity: Are You Still Human in the Core?
Though cybernetics enhance a person’s combat ability or survival aspects, they

can be quite dangerous if one is consumed by their implants and become more
machine than man. In these cases, individuals who have undergone extreme
cybernetic implantation begin to lose their humanity, and slowly begin to
unknowingly lose their sense as a human being.
Each implant reduces a player’s Humanity value depending on the implant, often
ranging from 4 to 8. Though some of the more dangerous implants may reduce it
in greater amounts.
When a player’s Humanity is reduced to half rounded down, the penalties of

cybernetics start to show but are not significant, only giving its users trivial
but surprising drawbacks in certain situations.
• You now receive damage from pulse weapons (ie pulse grenades and mines)
• Difficulty of all CHA-based tests is increased by +1 when not interacting
in a hostile or intimidating manner
Once a player’s Humanity is reduced to zero, the drawbacks of your cybernetics

are more prevalent as you have effectively become more machine than man,
unknowingly throwing away what makes you human in exchange for power,
immortality, or some other vain pursuit.
• Difficulty of all CHA-based tests further increased to +2 when not
interacting in a hostile or intimidating manner
• Receiving damage to a body part that has a cybernetic implant will cause
it to briefly malfunction, stunning you if it brings you down to half HP
or lower
• Energy attacks deal an additional +1 damage ignoring DR
In addition to the restrictions and drawbacks brought onto yourself when you
dress yourself up with implants, you can suffer social drawbacks from local
communities too. Though how certain groups and settlements will feel about you
being outfitted with cybernetics depends on the beliefs of those communities,
major factions such as the Brotherhood of Steel may feel disgusted or even
hostile if you keep outfitting yourself with implants. In the best-case
scenarios, some may even refuse to let you enter their community for services.
Be careful! Humanity cannot be restored as cybernetic implants are permanent,

no matter how small or trivial some may sound. So keep an eye on how much
Humanity you have left, for each one you lose via receiving implants counts!
Where to Find Cybernetics and How to Implant Them

Cybernetics can typically be applied by doctors willing to participate in such
a practice. Though some independent medical professionals are willing to
practice it those that hail from bigger and influential organizations may be
skeptical or even reject such activities, such as the Brotherhood of Steel.
Some groups may not even have proper access to professionals who do partake in
cybernetics or the resources needed to in the first place, such as the
Commonwealth Minutemen.
Once a medical professional who has experience in implanting cybernetics on a

patient has been found, the potential client must pay the doctor a hefty some
of caps or other form of currency as the surgical process of applying cybernetic
implants, as well as the implants themselves, can be very hard to come by,
develop, and even apply in the first place. Depending on the individual doctor,
one may even be able to convince them with a favor, bribe, or some other
negotiable mean available.
Alternatively, players may attempt to craft and apply cybernetic implants on

allies themselves if they have the resources and tools available. In order to
do so, one must first craft the desired cybernetic at a tinker’s workbench. The
materials required is determined by the complexity of the cybernetic desired to
craft.

Crafting a cybernetic implant requires making an INT+Repair test with the

Difficulty determined by the Complexity of the item, minus your rank in the
skill (To a minimum of 0). If the final Difficulty is 0, you can choose to
succeed without rolling. Crafting an implant takes two hours, but this can be
halved by spending 2 AP. However, each Complication adds an extra half hour to
the time.
Once one has achieved the appropriate number of successes on the test, the
desired implant has been crafted. If the test was met with a failure, the
desired item is not crafted. If three consecutive Complications have been rolled,
the desired implant is not crafted and the materials used to craft it are lost.
After the cybernetic implant has been crafted, it can now be applied to the
patient. To do so the patient must be lying on a flat surface, like a bed,
table, or any other surface deemed acceptable, even the floor would suffice.
Attaching the implant onto the patient requires making an INT+First Aid test at
Difficulty 3. The medical procedure takes up to three hours for each implant.
Rolling a Complication increases the time by an hour and the patient loses 1CD
Vicious Physical health. If three Complications are made, the medical procedure
is deemed a failure and cannot be attempted again for a week. The implant is
not destroyed.
When trying to attempt such a surgery with to attach the Cerebral Link, Spinal
Link, or any Arm or Leg Prosthetic then the time required is four hours: two to
make the medical procedure required ie amputate the designated limb, and an
additional two to attach the actual implant itself. The required test to make,
Difficulty, and Complication rules remain the same.

Types of Cybernetics
There are different types of cybernetics, each one depending on the type of the
body they enhance. Neural implants affect the brain and neurological functions
of the body; Arm implants affect the arms, both right and left; Leg implants
affect the legs, both right and left; and Spinal implants provide passive
bonuses to the human body.
Before undergoing surgery to implement cybernetic implants on yourself regarding

arms and legs, you must replace them with a prosthetic first – prosthetics do
not implement Humanity loss. As for Neural and Spinal implants, Neural and
Spinal Links are used to connect cybernetic implants and the human body – Neural
and Spinal Links offer slight Humanity loss.

Damage to and Repairing of Cybernetics

As useful as these cybernetics are, they can be just as fragile since they are
mechanical in nature and have a chance to break down due to receiving the blunt
of attacks in combat or just suffer oncoming hazards from the environment.
Since the Cerebral Link, Spinal Link, Arm prosthetic, and Leg Prosthetic are
the actual cybernetic implants, they are the pieces that have HP you need to
take heed of. The additional features and functions can add a bit more to
bolster its durability or simply do nothing about it. Either way, you need to
keep an eye on it and get maintenance when needed.
When you receive an injury on a body part that has a cybernetic implant, that
implant takes damage and loses one point of HP. The implant’s HP is permanently
reduced even if the injury, or injuries, has been treated. However, cybernetics
can be repaired to bring back its HP to normal levels.
If an implant’s HP reaches zero then it is broken and the additional features

that were added onto it are nullified and made unusable. If it is the Arm or
Leg Prosthetic then you cannot use them properly; you cannot interact with
anything using your broken Arm Prosthetic, nor can you walk if your Leg
Prosthetic is broken until it is repaired.
Repairing a cybernetic requires making an INT+Repair test at Difficulty 1 plus

an additional HP it is missing, so if you Cerebral Link currently has 1 HP then
the test is at Difficulty 3. Unlike crafting them, repairing cybernetics
thankfully require less materials needed.
Difficulty Materials Required

Repairing cybernetics is easy as you do not require any tools or a workbench to

do so, but the time it takes to repair is 30 minutes. However, the time is
increased by an additional 30 minutes for every Complication rolled. A Multi-
Tool can be used to reduce Difficulty, including Multi-Tool Fingers implant
assuming the cybernetic it on itself is not at zero.
