General information
Just like in Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, the Perk Rate in Fallout: The Roleplaying Game is one perk every single level. There are 94 perks total perks available.
Many perks benefit the individual, but many perks are designed to be used in conjunction with a group, such as Armorer, Blacksmith, Gun Nut, and Science! which can have the ranks from multiple group members combined to craft higher ranked mods, or perks like Inspirational that benefit the group as whole by expanding the AP pool capacity.
