Level perks

Level perks are Perks which work in the same way as their counterparts from the original Fallout games. More detailed information on individual level Perks can be found in their respective articles, see the table below. A full list of level perks is also available at Category:Level Perks.

Requirement Check

When determining what Level perks a Player can gain for his Character, the game checks his/her nominal SPECIAL Statistics. It is therefore impossible for characters whose base Strength is 5 to take a level Perk requiring at least 6 points of Strength, for example, even if they temporarily gain a point of Strength by using a strength-enhancing drug prior to opening the Perk selection window.
Temporary boosts, like from Drugs, do not satisfy perk requirements.

Gaining Level Perks

Characters are given the possibility of gaining one level perk every 3 Levels normally, or every 4 Levels if the Character has the Skilled Trait. An on-screen Level indicator is shown when a character has leveled up, and anytime there are leftover Skill Points or a leveling perk to choose. Open the character screen (press "c") to choose a level perk when applicable.

Effects

Regardless of its type, gaining a perk permanently unlocks its bonus, e.g. gaining Lifegiver forever increases the character's number of Hit Points. Short of a Reroll, there is no possibility of reverting the choice of a perk once the decision has been made. It is entirely up to the Player to decide whether or not to gain a perk when given the option; perks are not automatically or randomly selected in cases when players do not choose.

Delaying Perk Choice

The player is not forced to choose any level perk immediately, but these perks can be lost if the choice is delayed too long, so pay attention when leveling up, and don't lose any Perks.
Perk choices do not accumulate, so if you delay choosing a perk long enough to earn another perk, you waited too long, and the first perk choice will be lost.
Taking a perk can be delayed until the level before getting the next option to choose one. If no level perk is chosen from level 3 to 5 for example, with reaching level 6 the option for the first perk is lost. For Skilled characters this would be level 4 to 7, losing the first option at level 8.
Leveling perks end at Level 24, so all player Characters are limited to 8 each, or 6 if Skilled, although choosing the last perk can be delayed until Level 29. At level 30, any leftover perk choice options are lost.

Ranks

Some perks have more than one rank, i.e. it is possible to gain them more than once. Typically, the higher the rank of a perk, the greater the bonus it gives. Requirements may vary for different ranks of a perk. Usually the higher the rank, the higher the skill/level requirements.
