Skills
You are trained in several Skills, which encompass the various activities and proficiencies that you’ve picked up surviving in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. Each skill is ranked from 0 to 6, with each rank representing a differing degree of training.
You add your skill rank together with your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attribute to get your Target Number when you make a skill test.
Tag Skills
A few of your Skills are Tag Skills, marking them as your areas of expertise. Tag Skills represent a focused training in those Skills, a special affinity or talent with that discipline.
Tag Skills increase your chances of a critical success. When you use a tagged skill, each d20 that rolls equal or under the skill rank is a critical success, scoring 2 successes instead of 1.
