Do the rewards count for people who've already posted perks? I like the idea of getting rewards for some of my ideas, because I thought that some of them were quite good. |

"Creepy-Ass Fucker" I always had a bad feeling about him. Requirements: CHA under 5 Effects: Increased Speech/ability you will succeed in conversation. Negative karma. About: You're unnerving. You're scary. You're downright creepy. And while you may have a mug only a mother could love (well, we take that back - your mom's a bit iffy about you), you scare the bejeezus out of people enough to intimidate them sometimes. ---- "Boy Scout/Girl Scout" Always prepared! Requirements: Character history of scavenging, salvaging, or otherwise mechanical cleverness. INT above 7. Effects: Higher chance of finding useful, working objects in missions. More items found per mission due to repair skills. About: Somebody's taught you the ropes of how the Wastes work. You've gotten your Molerat Slaughter badge, now it's time to go earn the rest! --- "Animal Acquaintance" They aren't quite to sending you Christmas cards yet. Requirements: Level 5 Effects: Low-tier animals such as mole rats and wild dogs do not hinder you on missions, and plausibly may be tamed in-character. About: Maybe it's your stature, maybe it's your scent. Either way, some animals of the Wastes just instinctively don't want to tangle with you. They'll fight back if provoked - but they won't come running to bite your face off like they do to any normal schmuck. --- "Animal Friend" Christmas cards AND a poke on Facebook! Grats! Requirements: Level 10, Animal Acquaintance Effects: Mid-tier animals such as radscorpions do not hinder you on missions, and may be plausibly tamed. About: Pretty much second verse, same as the first. --- "Animal BFF4rlz" Aww, look, it made you a friendship bracelet! Requirements: Level 20, Animal Friend Effects: High-level animals such as Yao Guai do not hinder you on missions, and may be plausibly tamed. About: The animals of the wastes love you more than they love tasty, tasty flesh, which is sayin' something. This takes a lot of skill and prowess. --- "The Awesomest Thing Ever" I am not even kidding. Requirements: Level 25+. Must write a mission explaining how they acquired the technology. Effects: Able to plausibly control a deathclaw. About: You found quite possibly the awesomest thing ever - an Enclave post with a tamed Deathclaw... and the controller for it. As long as you keep that piece of tech on you, that Deathclaw will drool at you cross-eyed and try to obnoxiously rub against you for pets. And it's yours, to ride around the Wastelands wrecking havoc. Yes, on a Deathclaw. I told you it was the awesomest thing ever. --- "Arcane Knowledge" No, not the casting magic missile kind Requirements: INT above 8. Pre-war ghouls may take this perk without spending a point. Effects: More likely to hack in to old computers, more likely to solve puzzles/riddles, more likely to be able to repair items successfully About: You're an old soul... either literally, or figuratively. Either way, you know a lot about pre-war life, either from growing up near a Vault's repository of knowledge, scavenging and reading books, or being there yourself. This knowledge makes navigating the world much easier where things have stayed nearly the same despite the war. An example of this would be knowing interstate routes and being able to use them for navigation. |

A more in-depth look at the Boxer Perk and the various broad-brush fighting styles. Each style is an individual Perk.

To answer cewebwalz question, yes it's a good idea to star converting old perks over to the new format. For Twenty's question. Yeah, previous entries will count too, now that you made me think about it. When we have this all sorted out, I'll probably throw entries into a random selector or judge them based on quality and PM the selected users about rewards. I only got one idea right now, and I'm not sure if it's very good. An elegant weapon Aha! Le lame! The blade! Level 5? 7 or higher charisma. Description: And elegant weapon for an elegant gentlemen or lady. It's a time honored tradition in the wastes to be armed at all times, although you're more of a talker then a fighter. You need some protection other then your mouth though, and you've decided to take up a weapon of class, the knife. Suggested use: This perk means you've likely bought a knife and learned to use it. You're skill with small/short blades and knifes is raised quite a bit, regardless of agility. Use it as a last resort for your smarts or talking oriented character, just make sure to pick a suitably small blade. (Works best with stabbing knifes) |

Not always, it offers an alternative to making a charming character for interactions. It's more like browbeating people when it matters than walking into rooms and glaring at people non-stop. |
