A Savage Worlds Fan Toolkit for Playing in the Post Apocalyptic World of Fallout

1
Welcome to the Fallout Savage Worlds fan setting document. Fallout as you probably know
already is a series of post-apocalyptic retro-futuristic roleplaying games on PC and console. The
aim of this document is intended to give you everything you need to run a Fallout game with just
the Savage Worlds corebook.

This book does not contain a primer on the setting... yet. Stay tuned for future updates with
tweaked rules, new items and an original setting module (the state of Colorado or as the locals call
it, the Frontier). Until then the best place to get more info about the Fallout universe is the
excellent wiki at http://fallout.wikia.com

Science: Used for hacking and understanding Old World technology

No Guts? The skill list is already pretty extensive, instead use spirit based fear checks. In addition
most denizens of the wastes have seen their share of violence and death. Only roll fear based fear
checks in truly horrific or bizarre instances.

Hindrances
Chem Addict (minor)
You are addicted to a certain chem, unless you have at least 1 dose a week you take a -1 to all rolls
Illness (Major/Minor)

2
The hero has contracted some non-contagious infection that saps their stamina. The illness is not
life-threatening, but causes the hero to rest more often – more time to experience unwanted
encounters… The hero may seek a cure to their illness, but the GM should make them earn their
cure.
Major: After any physical exertion, such as Running, Climbing or Swimming, Fighting, the Hero
must pass a Vigor -2 check or lose 1 Fatigue.
Minor: After any physical exertion, such as Running, Climbing or Swimming, Fighting, the Hero
must pass a Vigor -1 check or lose 1 Fatigue.

Medically Incompatible (Major/Minor) - Mutant Only -

The mutant’s physiology has deviated enough from a normal human such that human medical
technology is not as effective. The Penalty does not apply when using medicine specially tailored
to mutants.
Minor: -1 to receive healing
Major: -2 to receive healing

Power Armour Training

Before the war power armour was the greatest technical achievement of the US military, turning
the ordinary soldier into a walking tank. Utilising the armour however took special training.

Arcane Background: Mutant

Skill: Special (None)
Starting Power Points: 20
Starting Powers: 1
Characters with Mutant Powers gain their abilities through Exposure to radiation, biological
contaminants or other strange hazards of the waste. Normally this background can only be taken
at character creation but can sometimes be taken later at the GMs discretion.

Mutant powers work a little differently from most other Arcane Backgrounds—each power is its
own skill and has no linked attribute (and thus counts as “lower” than its linked Attribute for
purposes of Advancement). A mutant hero with the armour and bolt powers, for example, also
has an Armor and a Bolt skill he uses to enable it. It’s more expensive for a character to improve
his powers, but he starts with more Power Points than other arcane types so he can use his
abilities more often.

Scavenging
Characters can attempt to scavenge abandoned buildings looking for food, fuel, ammunition,
trade goods, and other useful items. Scavenging is done with the investigation skill, each attempt
takes 1 hour; the items found depend on the degree of success, the type of building searched, and
whether or not scavengers have already stripped the building of its loot. The size of a building
determines the number of scavenging attempts. The results are cumulative; if the character
succeeds with 2 raises he also gets the benefits of a success and 1 raise.

power transformers, but they all count as parts for the purposes of repairing computers and
energy weapons.

Mechanical: Mechanical parts consist of miscellaneous materials needed to build and repair
mechanical devices. The actual scavenged items may be parts from non functioning guns or

Post-War Humanity
Pure Strain Humans
When the old world perished in nuclear fire humanity survived in vast underground vaults
emerging decades later into the harsh wastes. Most of those have long since been opened (and
plundered) but a few isolated vaults remain at least partially sealed. You grew up in one of those
vaults but have for whatever reason found yourself out the world. You may be from a Vault that
just recently opened, or an advanced scout from a still sealed vault exploring the surface for your
people.

The other less common source of pure humans in the wastes is the remnants of the Enclave. The
Enclave were descendants of the pre-war military and political elite who survived the war in
their own sealed sanctuaries. 40 years ago the Enclave emerged
from isolation and went to war with the communities of the west
coast. Eventually the Enclave were defeated and the survivors
scattered to the four winds.

Pure Strain Humans begin play with a Pipboy

Tech Familiarity: Begin with either d6 Science or
d6 Repair free.
Advanced Training: +1 Free Edge

Wastelanders
Wastelanders is the general term for humans whose ancestors long ago left the Vaults to seek live
on the surface. For generations Wastelanders have struggled to survive in whatever communities
they can build. After generations of living on the surface few wastelanders understand the
intricacies of pre-war technology but exposure to the hazards of the wastes have created a hardy
people who are somewhat resistant to the radiation. Wastelanders can be broadly broken up into
4 main types: scavengers, tribals, settlers and raiders.

Scavengers are humans who comb the wastes looking for pre-war buildings to loot for supplies .
Scavengers generally travel alone or in small groups and trade the goods they uncover with
communities they encounter in their travels.

Tribals eschew the technology of the old world, living in the wilderness and relying on only what
weapons and tools they can make for themselves. Other groups tend to think of them as primitive
but tribals prefer not to rely on the limited pre-war supplies to survive.

6
Settlers are the farmers, merchants and soldiers of the wastes. Living in walled communities,
growing their own food and seeking to rebuild civilisation. Settlers trade the food and goods they
produce with scavengers to gain access to old world technology and protect themselves from
dangers of the wastes.

Raiders are the most hated of wastelander groups. Rather than farm
or salvage resources, they form savage bands of thugs that attack
travellers and pillage supplies from towns in their path. With the
establishment of the NCR on the west coast and Caesar's Legion in
Arizona many raider groups have been pushed out from their
former territories onto the frontier.

Survivor: +4 to resist Radiation

Survivalist: +1 Free Edge

Ghouls
Prolonged heavy radiation poisoning kills most humans but a rare few instead are transformed
into Ghouls. The radiation erodes their skin giving them a decrepit, rotting, zombie-like
appearance and, paradoxically, greatly extends their life (ghouls can live for centuries). Many
ghouls suffer from a form of progressive mental degradation, eventually becoming animal like
feral ghouls. Because of this Ghouls suffer discrimination in human dominated regions. Ghouls
are naturally tougher than normal humans (who they call “smoothskins”), can see extremely well
in the dark and are completely immune to radiation.

Children of the Atom: Immune to radiation

Tough son of a bitch: d6 Vigor for star
Low light vision: Can see in dim and dark areas.
Outcast: (-2 to charisma rolls with non-mutated humans)
Medically Incompatible: (-1 to healing rolls)

Super Mutants
Super mutants are mutated humans, products of infection by the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV).
They are much taller, bulkier and muscular than pure strain humans, have mostly green, gray, or
yellowish skin, are immune to disease, and are gifted with superhuman strength and endurance.
Although they are completely sterile, the rapid regeneration of their cells caused by FEV makes
them virtually biologically immortal (but not immune to death from injury).
The Super mutant's in Colorado are remnants of the Master's experiments on the West Coast. The

7
Master sought to create a new type of life, one that could replace humanity. However he was
eventually defeated more than a hundred years ago by the Brotherhood of Steel and it's allies. His
army dispersed and many headed east into the wilderness.

Super Mutants are widely feared as monsters by the people of the wastes because of their strength
and because of the atrocities they committed in the Master's name. For the Super Mutants
themselves the Master's reign is long in the past and most just want to live in peace.

Hulking size: Begin with d6 strength and +1 Toughness

Tough hide: +2 Armour
Immunity (Disease)
Outcast: (-2 to charisma rolls with non-mutated humans)
Way too big!: Supermutants can't use pistols or armour unless they
have been specially modified for their use.

Mutants
The great war left a legacy of toxic radiation and deadly biological weapons run rampant.
Exposure to the hazards of the wastes kill most people but a rare few survive and are changed by
the experience gaining mutations that allow them to survive, even thrive in the wastes. Mutants
are treated with suspicion and distrust by most other humans and the unfortunate mutants who
are unable to pass for human have the Outsider hindrance.

What doesn't kill me... : Arcane Background (Mutant) .Fallout's

Mutants tend to have a very narrow focus, one or two related
powers at most.
Outcast: d6 Survival

Mutants but no Deathclaws?

As much as I enjoyed the talking Deathclaws in Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics I didn't think they
were suitable for player characters. Their inability to use man made items coupled with their
monstrous appearance make playing one necessarily limiting. At the same time I included rules
for humans with mutant abilities like telepathy & telekinesis. While only appearing in Fallout 1, I
thought certain players would enjoy the opportunity to play characters with such abilities.

 Gear and Equipment
The Bottle Cap Standard
With the destruction of the old world, money became meaningless. Once settlers became
established in the post-war wasteland they mostly relied on barter as most of the pre-war paper
money had been destroyed. Eventually however the bottlecap emerged as the standard currency
throughout the wastes, their relative scarcity combined with the difficulty of counter fitting them
caused merchants in California to adopt them as their “official” currency. Backed by the value of
water, California's merchants spread the bottlecap standard throughout the wastes. In game terms
change all prices from dollars to bottlecaps (1 dollar is worth one bottlecap)

Other Currencies
The use of currency varies from region to region depending on the local power structure. On the
west coast the NCR dollar, dominates and in Arizona the Legion issued its own currency, the
denarius. Some communities also accept old world money although it has lost most of its prewar
value. When trading between regions however the bottlecap is still often used. The exchange rates
as of 2282 is roughly:
2 bottlecaps = 5 NCR Dollars
4 bottlecaps = 1 Legion Denarius
1 bottlecaps = 10 pre-war dollar

Weapons & Accessories

Grenades: These powerful weapons are thrown with the explosives skill. Pulse grenades are EMP
weapons, they do no damage to living creatures but any Robot caught in the blast must make a
Vigor roll at -2 or shut down.
Mines: Mines are set with the explosives skill, once set the mine will activate if the a target gets too
close. Pulse grenades do no damage to living creatures but any Robot caught in the blast must
make a Vigor roll at -4 or shut down.
Plasma Rifle: This powerful rifle fires bolts of super heated plasma at its target. They have an
extremely short range but pack a significant punch.

Withdrawal: After the scene where chems were used roll (or 20 turns, whichever comes first) any
player who used a chem must make a vigor roll with a penalty equal to the number of chems
taken. If the roll is a success then the player is merely shaken for 1d4 minutes with nausea.
Success with a raise suffers no ill effect. If the roll is failed the player takes fatigue equal to the
number of chems taken. If the user uses a chem too much (more than 5 doses in a week) or
critically fails a withdrawal roll they become addicted.

Armour Piercing Rounds: Armour Piercing Rounds double the armour penetration of guns but are
twice as expensive
Geiger Counter: Geiger counters measures local levels of radiation and are highly in demand by

10
travellers and scavengers alike.
Ham Radio: This bulky piece of equipment can pick up and transmit radio signals
Laser Sight: This laser sight can be attached to any ranged weapon with a repair roll and grants a
+1 to shooting rolls. The Laser targetting marker can be seen by perceptive enemies.
Pipboy: A Pipboy is a miniature computer worn on the forearm. These hardwearing devices were
issued to the inhabitants of the Vaults and are a combination of personal digital assistant, radio
transmitter and Geiger counter. Pipboy's are highly valued for their ability to easily interface for
pre-war technology, they can not generally be bought but Pure Strain Humans start with one for
free.
Rebreather: A rebreather is a valuable piece of pre-war technology that allows the wearer to
breath underwater. A rebreather can not be worn at the same time as a helmet.
Walkie Talkie: A pair of walkie talkies allow communication over a 1 mile range in open ground.
Being underground, in buildings or near sources of radiation dramatically cut the range.

Mechanical Parts: Mechanical parts are used in the repair of most guns, vehicles and large
machinery, They can be bought or scavenged in ruins of the old world.
Electrical Parts: Mechanical parts are used in the repair of energy weapons, computers and robots,
They can be bought or scavenged in ruins of the old world.

Equipment Condition
Most equipment characters will be using in the Fallout setting was manufactured over 200 years
ago! As a result even hard wearing technology is often in need of repair. Archaic armour and
weapons (leather, bows, swords, spears and the like) don't have to worry about condition.

Damaged Weapons
At the end of each combat a player makes a repair roll for each weapon used to see if its condition
has worsened. A success means the weapon’s condition has not worsened. The weapon drops one
condition level on a failure or two on a natural one (regardless of the wild die).

Excellent: +1 Damage
New: No Effect
Good: -1 Damage
Fair: -2 Damage
Poor: -3 damage
Broken: Unusable

Damaged Armour
Similar to weapons at the end of each combat where the player took damage a player makes a
repair roll for each weapon used to see if its condition has worsened. A success means the amour’s
condition has not worsened. The armour drops one condition level on a failure or two on a
natural one (regardless of the wild die). An armours protection can never drop below 0.

Excellent: +1 Armour
New: No Effect
Good: -1 Armour
Fair: -2 Armour
Poor: -3 Armour
Broken: Unusable

Repairing Damaged Equipment

A player can use the repair skill to fix damaged equipment. Each repair attempt takes one hour
and consumes one batch of spare parts. A success improves the item one condition level. One or
more raises improves the weapon two condition levels and it capable of improving the weapon to
Excellent condition. Without a Raise an item cannot be improved to Excellent condition. Each
repair attempt consumes one batch of spare parts. Guns and armour from the modern era are
repaired with mechanical parts. Powered armour and energy weapons are repaired with electrical
components. Failing the repair roll still consumes the material. On a critical failure the item
decreases one condition step and spare parts are still consumed.

12
Hazards
Radiation
Radiation is classified with two attributes, Level and Intensity. The Intensity roll is opposed to the
hero’s Vigor roll. Radioactive Level determines the length of exposure before the intensity begins
causing damage. Once out of the affected area, the hero recovers Fatigue at the listed rate. Low
radiation areas represent old, degraded sites. High radiation areas are caused by the recent
remnants of weapons or breached power cores or radioactive fuel. Extreme radiation fields are
caused by active nuclear cores, nuclear fuel and nuclear weapon explosions.

The following list determines the frequency and effects of radiation exposure by the intensity of
the radiation. Once incapacitated, all Fatigue results become a Wound, and a Critical Failure for a
Vigor test means death.

Low Level Radiation

Vigor test per 1 hour exposure (Recover 1 Fatigue per hour)
Fatigue Vigor roll:
Success: No Effect
Fail: 1 Fatigue (to Exhaustion)
Critical Fail: Shaken, 1 Fatigue

High Level Radiation

Vigor test at -2 per 1 minute exposure (Recover 1 Fatigue per day)
Fatigue Vigor roll:
Raise: No Effect
Success: Shaken
Fail: 1 Fatigue
Critical Fail: 1 Wound

Extreme Level Radiation

Vigor test at -4 per 1 round exposure (Recover 1 Fatigue per week)
Fatigue Vigor roll:
Raise: No Effect
Success: Shaken
Fail: Shaken, 1 Fatigue
Critical Fail: Shaken, 1 Wound

13
Food and Water
An average-sized man requires two quarts of water a day and 1 pound of food. If enough water or
food isn’t available, the hero begins to suffer from dehydration. Starting the first day after the
water runs out, he must make a Vigor roll. Subtract 2 if the hero has less than half the required
amount. Failure means the character gains a Fatigue level. After the first day, the character must
make he required Vigor roll every 6 hours.
► The Survival Skill: A successful Survival roll each day provides enough water (and food) for
one person, or enough or five with a raise.
• Recovery: Two quarts of water allows a character to recover a Fatigue level every hour.
• Incapacitation Effects: Death in 2d6 hours.

Some water sources may be irradiated, when drinking irradiated water the player rolls a Vigor
test, success indicates they suffer no ill effect. On a failure the player takes 1 fatigue damage.

Creatures of the Wastes
Bighorner
Mutated bighorn sheep, descending from the areas' high mountains. While settlers use them for
their horns, meat, and hides, it has been observed that the bull can usually be found in close
proximity to a banana yucca fruit, making for rather effective herb tracking.

Deathclaw
A mutated large, agile and strong species of mutant Jackson's Chameleon created through genetic
engineering, with the addition of DNA of various other species. However, due to mutation, they
have lost their color-changing ability. The deathclaws were originally created before the Great
War by the United States Military in order to replace humans during high risk, close combat, and
search-and-destroy missions. Intelligent deathclaws are an extremely rare variant of deathclaw
but they avoid humans where possible

interactions with other. After the Great War, they're mutated, causing them to grow giant and
taking a humanoid form, but still only rudimentary intelligence. Gecko hides are particularly
prized by hunters for their durability and light weight.

Giant ants are large mutated arthropod insects of the Formicidae family, genus Camponotus, most
likely black carpenter ants. Some scientists theorize this mutation comes from the effects of
extended exposure to radiation. The following stats are for Worker Ants which are commonly
encountered outside hives scavenging for food. Soldier ants are significantly stronger but only
found inside the Hives.

of fur and scales. Their head and tail are that of a rattlesnake, including fangs and a forked
tongue. Be warned nightstalkers hunt in packs.

Protectron
Created by the RobCo corporation, protectron robots were designed (as their name suggests) for
protection, although they can also be seen being used in a manual labor role as well. Typically
used in office-type settings, their secondary programming is modular, making them useful as
greeters, ticket collectors, bartenders, celebrity or historical figure impersonators, or even sexual
partners. In terms of combat, protectrons are usually weak and easy to defeat, because of their
slow movement speed.

are a constant problem. Raiders typically prey upon travelers and very small towns, leaving more
populous or larger areas alone.
