Notes[]
- While the perk reveals resistances for an enemy (in addition to a crossed-out symbol for immunities), it will not display any special characteristics or traits. For example, with Awareness, ghouls are shown as having 1000 radiation resistance, when in fact they have a special effect that allows them to restore HP upon receiving radiation damage, making the resistance moot.
