“The ability to communicate in a practical and efficient manner. The skill of convincing others that your position is correct. The ability to lie and not get caught.”— In-game description

Speech is a skill in Fallout and Fallout 2. It determines the chance to succeed in a Speech challenge.

Initial level

Fallout:

${\text{Initial level}}=25+(2\times {\text{Charisma}})$

Fallout 2:

Speech checks are done with a skill roll or checking against a threshold (only the former are generally called "Speech checks"). Rolls are virtually ubiquitous in Fallout while the latter are more prevalent in Fallout 2.
