Primary Statistics

This page lists primary statistics in Fallout: New York.

SPECIAL
Also known as Primary Statistics, SPECIAL is an acronym that stands for your seven primary attributes (which are Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck). Think of these as the foundation of not only your character, but those you encounter in New York as well, including creatures. Each attribute can range from 1 (wretched) to 10 (astounding). Remember that in general terms, the higher a primary attribute, the more impressive the associated ability and skill bonuses are, as the following table indicates.
