Experience & Level-Up Guide
Welcome to our Fallout experience & level-up guide!

The guide gives you an experience table followed by the hit points, skill points & perks tables, and concludes by listing the other miscellaneous tabs on your character screen.

Experience in this game is gained at the same rate as in D&D 3rd Edition: i.e., begin at level 1, earn 1,000xp through level 1 to advance, 2,000xp through level 2, etc. The maximum level in Fallout is 21. Here's the xp table and the relevant titles to each rank:

Perks @ Level Up

Perks are similar to feats in D&D, and are gained at a normal rate of one every three levels. With the "skilled" optional trait, perks are gained every four levels.

Here is the table illustrating the levels at which perks are gained with both a normal character and one with the "skilled" optional trait:
