Childkiller

The Childkiller reputation is bestowed upon your character for killing a child, even if it's an accident. However if one of your party members does the deed instead, you won't be penalized for it.

If you have killed 3 or more children in Fallout or 2 or more children in Fallout 2 yourself, bounty hunters will eventually find you in random encounters. Their equipment depends on your level, ranging from Leather Jackets and Hunting Rifles to Power Armor and Avenger Miniguns.

''You have killed children, the youth of the wasteland. This is considered to be a really bad thing. You evil, evil person.''

Sometimes, you might not even know that you're killing a kid, because they're under the guise of a normal-looking person, f.eg. a teen still counts as a kid, an example of this is Myron, although in a general sense of way he's not a child, but the game regards him as thus.

A most noted childkiller is a man from Arroyo who goes by the name of Popp. In the course of his travels a whopping 196 children were liberated from their confined little bodies. When asked what drove him to such deeds Popp had only this to say: "There's a kid in Klamath with a frag grenade! This is why there are NO children in Arroyo! Also, when I get moments like the time I killed little Billy... His dad Balthus cried like such a bitch, it makes me feel good."
