Survival is a skill in the Fallout: The Roleplaying Game.

Overview[]

The Survival skill covers all manner of practical bush craft, like hunting, foraging, fishing, building makeshift shelters, and lighting fires.— Corebook p. 46

The default attribute paired with Survival is Endurance. Depending on the context of the action, Survival can also be paired with any other attribute with suggestions from the corebook, including Charisma to charm an animal or Perception to figure time until sundown.

Behind the scenes[]

  • Survival appears only in Fallout: New Vegas, although it is based on the Outdoorsman skill from Fallout and Fallout 2.
  • In Fallout 2d20, the image used for Survival is of the Survivalist perk in Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. The perk is in turn inspired by Sylvester Stallone's character John Rambo, from the first three films of the Rambo series.
