Support perks are minor skills and abilities that a player can gain in addition to [[level perks]].  
+
'''Support perks''' are minor skills and abilities that a player can gain in addition to their [[class perk]], [[level perks]] and [[PvE perks]].
  
There is no limit to the number of support perks that a single character can have.
+
One character can get all of the support perks from their corresponding NPCs as long as the requirements are met.
  
To gain support perks, players are required to talk to an appropriate NPC. Some support perks can be gained straight away, some have specific [[S.P.E.C.I.A.L.]] and/or [[skill]] requirements. Some are given 'for free,' some require that one or more quest(s) be finished first.  
+
The table below contains <span class="tooltip" title="Under certain circumstances, it may be possible for a support perk not in the table below to appear on your character sheet. Such perks do not have any effect on your character." style="border-bottom: 1px dotted; cursor: help;">all</span> currently available support perks, their requirements, and the locations of the NPCs that give them.
  
Detailed information on any of the support perks that are currently available may be found on their respective pages, which are listed below.

'''Note:''' When determining what support [[perks]] can be gained by a player, the game checks his/her nominal [[statistics]]. It is therefore impossible for a character whose base [[Strength]] is 5 to take a support [[perk]] requiring at least 6 points of [[Strength]], for example, even if s/he temporarily gains a point of [[Strength]] by using a strength-enhancing drug prior to initiating a dialogue with an [[NPC]].
