The S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Variations
Strength is temporarily increased by eating steaks
Perception is mainly decreased by sleep deprivation, but is also slightly decreased by starvation and dehydration
Endurance is mainly decreased by starvation and dehydration, but is also slightly decreased by sleep deprivation
Charisma is increased by being rich, having friends, dressing nice, and joining a gang
Intelligence is increased by reading specific books that belong to four wise people. Some books are highly protected, others are not. Three can be found in and around the Mojave. One is elsewhere.
Agility is decreased by Encumbrance (how much weight you're carrying). If Encumbrance > 10, then Agility is decreased by 1 point, If Encumbrance is >20, then Agility is decreased by 1 more point, etc. When Encumbrance > 100, Agility is decreased by a total of 10 points
Luck is increased by Karma. Good Karma increases Luck by 2 points, and Very Good Karma increases Luck by 3 more points
