Nerves of Steel (Broken Steel)

Nerves of Steel is a perk added to Fallout 3 with the Broken Steel add-on. It also appears as a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.

It increases the regeneration rate of Action Points by 20%.

Bugs

 * It has been reported that the perk is non-functional in Fallout 3 on both the PC and Xbox 360 with the version 1.5 patch issued for Broken Steel, but this is inaccurate. While the perk does function, the increase in action point regeneration rate is extremely low (amounting to 1 additional AP per 10 seconds).
 * If you don't equip a weapon, this perk will not take effect (PC patch 1.20.352, but made irrelevant due to future patch).
 * This perk does take into account AP from the Action Boy/Action Girl perk, slightly extending regeneration time. Though the net result is still less than if the perk was not taken.
