Action Girl Action Boy



Action Boy is a Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, and Fallout Tactics perk.

It allows for more actions points, as the name suggests, in V.A.T.S. This is sometimes the equivalent of a very high agility rating, and is useful for characters who rely on V.A.T.S rather than real time combat, or people who are not good shots.

To avoid being sexist, female characters instead get an identical perk called "Action Girl"

Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics

 * Prerequisites: Level: 12, Agility: 5
 * Ranks: 3 (Fallout), 2 (Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics)
 * Benefit: Each level of Action Boy/Girl will give you additional Action Points to spend every combat turn. You can use these generic Action Points on any task.
 * Notes: In Fallout and Fallout 2, the counter only shows up to 10 Action Points but internally it keeps track of any extras. In Fallout Tactics all APs show properly.

Fallout 3

 * Requirements: Level 16, Agility 6
 * Ranks: 1
 * Benefit: With the Action Boy / Action Girl perk, you gain an additional 25 Action Points to use in V.A.T.S.. This is equivalant to 12.5 points in Agility.

In J.E. Sawyer's Fallout Role-Playing Game it allows you to perform two skill-related actions during the action phase, but the results of the skill checks are always halved for both.
