What stats are affected by leveling up?
A friend asked me if there were any relatively easy ways to permanently boost your SPECIAL stats or other character attributes. I replied that there are some things like bobble-heads and magazines, but those are relatively rare. So, the most reliable source of permanent stat boosts is by choosing a SPECIAL stat or perk on level-up.
However, answers to the related question linked above seem to indicate that there is some passive effect on stats based on your level alone. This still means most of your stat boosts are going to be XP-based, but it also means that the stats aren't only tied to player choice or skill points.
So, I'm looking for more specifics here. How does each character level affect your character's attributes? The most obvious stats, which I'd like to see answered for as a minimum, are listed below. If there's others known to be affected, please do include them.
- SPECIAL Stats
- Strength
- Perception
- Endurance
- Charisma
- Intelligence
- Agility
- Luck
- Derived Stats
- Action Points
- Carry Weight
- Damage Resistance
- Energy Resistance
- Radiation Resistance
- Maximum Hit Points
- Melee Damage
- XP Modifier
Are there any of these (or any others I haven't thought of) that get a boost just by gaining a character level, even if a skill point isn't spent on a related SPECIAL stat or Perk? If so, how much per level?
Best Answer
Based on playing the game one and a half times, it appears that the only player stat that automatically increases when you level is your health. I've certainly not observed any of the other stats you listed increasing due to level.
If someone runs across something else, please drop a comment.
