Intelligence/Fallout: The Board Game

Intelligence is one of the seven primary statistics in the SPECIAL system.

Gameplay
Intelligence is not treated as a variable ranging from 1 to 10, but instead as a token that can be obtained at the start or when leveling up. A player character with the Intelligence token gets free rerolls during certain tests, as well as during fights if equipped with an Intelligence-based weapon. They can also recruit certain companions from the shop.

The Brotherhood Outcast player character always begins the game with Intelligence. Any player character wearing the lab coat gains one hit during an Intelligence test. During any Intelligence test, Mentats can be used to gain one free hit.
