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

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please feel free to send me an email at [email protected]

Power Armour TrainingBefore 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: MutantSkill: Special (None)Starting Power Points: 20Starting Powers: 1Characters 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.

ScavengingCharacters 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.

Electrical: Electrical parts consist of miscellaneous materials needed to build and repair electrical devices. The actual scavenged items may be parts from old televisions, computers, or 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 automobile engines, air conditioners, or other devices, but they all count as parts for the purposes of repairing large machinery, vehicles and weapons

Food: You find 1d6 portions of preserved food. Scavenged food consists of canned goods from before the apocalypse.

Medicines: Medicines are antibiotics, bandages and other chems. When you successfully scavenge medicine you gain 1D6 doses of the type indicate by the medical supply chart

Post-War Humanity

Pure Strain HumansWhen 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 PipboyTech Familiarity: Begin with either d6 Science or d6 Repair free.Advanced Training: +1 Free Edge

WastelandersWastelanders 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 RadiationSurvivalist: +1 Free Edge

GhoulsProlonged 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 MutantsSuper 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 ToughnessTough hide: +2 ArmourImmunity (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.

MutantsThe 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 StandardWith 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 CurrenciesThe 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 Dollars4 bottlecaps = 1 Legion Denarius1 bottlecaps = 10 pre-war dollar

Weapons & AccessoriesGrenades: 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.

ArmourRadiation suit: This full body suit provides a +4 bonus to resist the effects of Radiation. However it cannot be worn with any armourCombat Armour: Advanced Pre-war armour second only to power armour in protection.Stealth Suit: This advanced combat armour was the peak of old-world technology. Utilising special emitters that refracted light around the wearer this combat armour is able to blend into any surroundings (+2 to stealth, regardless of terrain).

Miscellaneous GearMedical supplies are a precious resource, attempting to use the heal skill without supplies imposes a -2 penalty. Each healing attempt uses up 1 portion of supplies that have to be replenish with scavenging or trading. Stimpack: can make a healing check in 1 round (no effect on crippling injuries)Psycho: increase Strength by one dice for a sceneJet: increase Agility by one dice for a sceneMed-X: increase Vigor by one dice for a sceneRad-X: +4 to Vigor rolls to resist Radiation for the rest of the day.Radaway: Removes 1d4 fatigue caused by Radiation or 1 wound caused by Radiation

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.

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 ConditionMost 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 WeaponsAt 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 DamageNew: No EffectGood: -1 DamageFair: -2 DamagePoor: -3 damageBroken: Unusable

Damaged ArmourSimilar 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 ArmourNew: No EffectGood: -1 ArmourFair: -2 ArmourPoor: -3 ArmourBroken: Unusable

Repairing Damaged EquipmentA 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.

Hazards

RadiationRadiation 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 EffectFail: 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 EffectSuccess: ShakenFail: 1 FatigueCritical Fail: 1 Wound

Extreme Level Radiation Vigor test at -4 per 1 round exposure (Recover 1 Fatigue per week) Fatigue Vigor roll:Raise: No EffectSuccess: ShakenFail: Shaken, 1 FatigueCritical Fail: Shaken, 1 Wound

13

Food and WaterAn 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

BighornerMutated 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.

CazadoreCazadores are mutated insects wit distinctive amber-orange wings, a blue-black carapace and blood-red eyes. They have a speedy and rather erratic flight movement, making them difficult to hit in combat, and a venomous attack which can lead to a quick death if it succeeds in poisoning the target. The spikes on their back inflate and deflate when idle and attacking.

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

EyebotBuilt by the REPCONN before the war, Eyebots are hovering propaganda-spewing reconnaissance and surveillance robots with whip-like radio antennas resembling long "whiskers" pointing to its back, and loudspeakers in the front. Eyebots are associated with Enclave who frequently used them as scouts.

GeckoBefore the Great War, geckos could be found in warm climates throughout the world, range from 1.6 cm to 60 cm, with the particularity among other lizards to making chirping sounds in social 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 AntGiant 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.

LakelurkLakelurks are mutated aquatic creature who live around bodies of water (Mirelurks are their seagoing relatives). They attack by emitting long-distance sonic pulse waves to stun and destroy their enemies.

ProtectronCreated 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.
