SPECIAL is a seven-letter acronym; each letter corresponds to one of Fallout's seven primary statistics: Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck.

Each SPECIAL point grants all 9 of its corresponding bonuses and if a character reaches 20 points in any of the stats, both Masteries are unlocked.

Some bonuses (such as the party point bonus scaling with Charisma) are tied to your base SPECIAL but many can be obtained from temporary increases as well. Most notably, SPECIAL masteries can be unlocked via drugs.

Gifted caps

Gifted is a trait that raises the SPECIAL cap to 40, allowing most of the bonuses to be acquired 40 times.

Strength

Strength lets you carry more and punch harder.

Every character needs at least the amount of Strength that their weapon of choice requires due to the -5% max hit chance penalty for each missing point.

You can temporarily increase your Strength by taking drugs: Buffout (+2), Gamma Gulp Beer (+1), or Liver (+2, Cannibal only), or equipping armor with the Bonus Strength gear perk. If you're looking for something more permanent, consider installing Hypertrophy Accelerator implants, WE stats ST (T1) and S.HTH (T2), or picking the Gain Strength level perk.

Perception

Perception allows you to spot potential threats before they spot you.

Every character should have at least the amount of Perception required to take full advantage of their weapon's range.

You can temporarily increase your Perception by smoking Cigarettes (+1), or eating Eyes (+2, Cannibal only), or equipping armor with the Bonus Perception gear perk. If you're looking for something more permanent, consider installing Optics Enhancer implants, WE stats PE (T1) and S.RNG (T2) , or picking the Gain Perception level perk.

  • Each SPECIAL point invested in Perception gives you:
  • If you manage to raise your Perception all the way up to 20, you will be rewarded with the following Perception Mastery bonuses:

Endurance

Endurance toughens you up, which can only be a good thing.

Well, actually, each hit point above 150 reduces your critical roll by 2 so perhaps not.

You can temporarily increase your Endurance by taking drugs: Buffout (+2), Rot Gut (+1), or Heart (+2, Cannibal only), or equipping armor with the Bonus Endurance gear perk. If you're looking for something more permanent, consider installing Nociception Regulator implants, WE stats EN (T1) and S.ULT (T2), or picking the Gain Endurance level perk.

Charisma

  • Each SPECIAL point invested in Charisma gives you:
  • If you manage to raise your Charisma all the way up to 20, you will be rewarded with the following Charisma Mastery bonuses:

Intelligence

Intelligence is what turns a pile of junk into a plasma rifle.

It enhances your skills, speeds up replication, and even provides a small damage boost.

Agility

Agility is the stat that governs action points, the single most important resource in Fallout's combat system.

Any combat-oriented character needs all the Agility it can get.

You can temporarily increase your Agility by taking drugs: Nuka-Cola (+1) or Radiated Heart (+3, Cannibal only), or equipping armor with the Bonus Agility gear perk.
