Derived statistics

Derived statistics, also known as secondary statistics, are attributes based on the character's primary statistics (SPECIAL).
They cannot be modified directly, though some degree of alteration is possible via perks, traits, etc. For example, carry weight capacity is based on Strength and can be lowered by the Small Frame trait or increased by the Strong Back support perk, but you cannot directly add points to it like you would to a SPECIAL attribute during character creation.
Character size
Character size is a percentage value based on how big a character is relative to the baseline. The baseline (100%) is a character with 300 hit points, no traits, and no perks.
Your base character size depends on your role:
| Role | No role | Tank | Semi-tank | Specialist | Damage Dealer | Shooter | Sneaker |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base character size |
