Kamikaze

Kamikaze is a trait in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout Tactics.

Fallout and Fallout 2
With this trait, one's sequence gets a +5 bonus, but natural armor class is decreased to zero. One must wear armor to have an armor class.

Fallout: New Vegas
This trait gives you an additional 10 Action Points at the cost of two points of Damage Threshold and 15% Damage Resistance. The Vault Boy icon is also changed from the previous icon.

Bugs

 * The loss of Damage Resistance isn't stated in its description or anywhere else in the game.

Fallout Tactics
By not paying attention to any threats, you cause a lot more damage (+25% more damage). This lowers your armor class to just what you are wearing (No Agility bonus to armor class), but you do more damage with every attack.

Behind the scenes

 * Kamikaze, in Japanese, means "Divine Wind," referring to the two windstorms that destroyed an overwhelming Mongolian naval force about to attack Japan in the 13th century, and was used in World War II to refer to Japanese suicide attackers.
 * The picture for this trait in previous Fallout games shows Vault Boy holding a knife in his right hand and a pistol in his left. In Fallout: New Vegas, the picture shows Vault Boy holding the weapons the other way around.
 * The image of the Vault Boy in the earlier games icon appears to have the same hair-style as the Marvel X-Men character, Wolverine.
