Rad Tolerance

Rad Tolerance is a perk in the Fallout 3 add-on Broken Steel.

Effects
With this perk, you suffer no effects from Minor Radiation Poisoning (-1 END). This perk has no effect on greater radiation levels. For example, Advanced Radiation Poisoning (-2 END, -1 AGI) will still affect your character and so on. Unless your Endurance score is already at 10, using Intense Training to increase your Endurance would be more effective than taking this perk. Moreover, by this level the player will no doubt have multiple, plentiful ways of curing radiation sickness, and the Endurance loss has almost no effect on performance anyway (HP will not be reduced by the temporary condition, only poison resistance, itself a seldom-used statistic), so this perk is of dubious use, if any. In addition, the skill points lost at any radiation level can be restored (permanently) by reading skill books, since the game tracks points beyond 100 even though they aren't factored in normally.

Potential Uses
There is a way that this perk could become somewhat useful in conjunction with a free side quest perk that is earned During Survival Expert/Guru. One of the main perks that the player will earn by doing Moria's quest, is Rad Regeneration. Sadly, this is a very misunderstood and underrated perk to begin with. Simply put, all the player has to do is drink from a 30rad water source (toilet lulz) just a few times until they surpass the Minor Radiation sickness level and into the more advanced. Once the player has done this, they can page to the STATS screen and see the perk explain that all body parts are now automatically healing to 100% indefinitely or until the player takes a RadAway. Clearly it is not ideal to run around with rad poisoning all the time, but with the Rad Tolerance perk the player could run around with Minor Rad Poisoning and suffer no effects while being very close to having Rad Regeneration active. If these were the conditions and the player learned to use it, they could jump in any water source and drink from it or run into a bathroom. It would even be possible to activate Rad Regeneration by eating a 5 to 10 food items at 5rads each. Then the player needs no water at all. The overall goal of a build such as this, would be to intentionally keep one's rads on the higher side of Minor Rad Poisoning so that activating Rad Regeneration could be done very quickly.
