http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq157/Candidevil/FMF%20-%20Perks/TheGlowingOne.gif
To get : As a quest reward.

2. HP regeneration while directly exposed to certain irradiation sources. But, beware! The more HP gained this way-more severe the radiation poisoning.
[Note : A second quest opens with this perk. The player gets a/the chance/option to cure him/her-self. The reward : If Karma is high - standard goodies(EXP, items, whatnot, etc.). If Karma is low ? read on.]

Requirements : The Glowing One perk, Karma-Low. [When the conditions are met-the perk becomes attainable.]
Description :
1. Having seen how the 'other side' lives, made you hate them even more. 'Kill 'em all' might not wash away the fact - that you were, once, one of 'them'.. but it makes you feel a whole lot better. Killing is easier, if you are a Bigot.
2. Feral ghouls, glowing ghouls, talking ghouls.. ghoul supporters - practice targets! Someone needs to 'help' them 'see the light'.. might as well be you. +'X'% DMG to ghouls, +'X' % DMG to 'good' characters.

2. You can run with the best of them. Running speed increased by 'X' %.
[Note : Missing the mean to let the player know he got the perk. Well, at least for those that don't notice the difference right away.]

To get : Eat 'X' amount of 'X' type of Food [this came out all wrong]; or, as a part of the level up system. [The second one seems more.. reasonable, because of 'the downside' effect.]
Effects : Rejuvenating effects of Food are increased by 'X' % but so is the chance to be addicted to Chems, [supported] Drinks and Meds.
Requirements : Level 'X'[If gained via level up], CH 'X'. [When the conditions are met-the countdown starts, If gained by eating.]
Description :
1. [If gained by eating; #1] You have lived like a king-now you are The King. Eating, for you, is no longer a nuisance-its a ritual. Food tastes better but so does everything else, including drugs.

3. [If gained with the second option] Rejuvenating Food effects increased, but addiction resistance to Chems, Alcohol and Meds decreased.
[Note : Missing the mean to let the player know he got the perk. Well, at least for those that don't notice the difference right away. If gained by eating, of course.]

2. You know how to maneuver in any set of armor. Armors weigh 'X' % less.
[Note : A lot of contradiction between this one and the next. Logically-it sounds just about right. Practically-not even close. The point of this note: 'No Point!']

To get : Standard, through the level up system.
Effects : Armor protection increased by 'X' %.
Requirements : Level 'X', AG 'X', no 'Big' perk [see above].
Ranks : 1

2. You make your apparel 'take ALL for the team'. Armors offer 'X' % more protection.
[Note : A lot of contradiction between this and the previous one. Logically-it sounds just about right. Practically-not even close. The point of this note: 'Still no point.']

2. The proud owner of 'Bank Shot', custom made, one of a kind Pool Balls set. Just having these marbles in your inventory, makes you feel more important. Additionally - fighting to find [and keep] them - nets you +'X' to Melee.
[Note : A second (short) quest opens with this perk. The player gets to show off his/hers 'Set of Balls' to a certain NPC (also pool enthusiast). The reward : Unique pool cue, with much better stats then the 'plain' one(s), named : 'Ballbraker'. I just can't get enough of this one-so many word games.]
http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq157/Candidevil/FMF%20-%20Perks/Trapper.gif
To get : Kill 'X' amount of 'X' type of animals. [Still sounds offbeat.]

Requirements : PE 'X', Medicine 'X', Melee 'X'. [When the conditions are met-the countdown starts.]

[Note : Missing the mean to let the player know he got the perk. Well, at least for those that don't notice the difference right away.]

2. [If gained via quest; #2] You have expanded your knowledge of Power Armors. Wearing one brings no negative effects to your person; thus, making you.. one of a kind.
3. [If gained by other means.] With the 'A.P.A.T. /M.C.' perk, you learn how to, properly, reside in a suit of Power Armor. Wearing one now, affects you only for the best.

Requirements : Level 'X', Big Guns 'X', Small Guns 'X', Energy Weapons 'X'. [real-time combat preference].
Ranks : 1

http://i443.photobucket.com/albums/qq157/Candidevil/FMF%20-%20Perks/Prepared.gif
To get : I have no idea. Read on.. you'll 'see' why.
Effects : Advanced version of V.A.T.S.[Prepared Session ? from now on]. With each, new, agro player makes, a 'Prepared Session' starts, granting the player +'X' more Action Points to be used in that session, only. This means; bonus AP gained in this way - will be lost after exiting that session. [Oh, man.. spinning.. must..]
Example :
1. 'Player' roaming the wastes suddenly gets attacked[*most likely, from the sides or the back ? its easier to be surprised from these directions , as opposed to front? duh!] by a single animal. V.A.T.S.[Prepared Session] starts up and targets that animal, automatically[*despite direction the attack is coming from], granting the player +'X' more AP. If these bonus points can be used to hurt the thing -great! If not[distance, obstructed view, whatnot..], naturally ? the player will need to reposition, exiting the 'Prepared Session'. Starting V.A.T.S. again, manually, right after that, does not count as 'Prepared Session', therefore -the bonus AP are not applied, nor transferred.
2. Same thing, but attacked by more than one animal -at once-. 'Prepared' perk only applies to the first one that targeted the player. It will not start again[for that group], unless a different foe[not a part of the first group to attack the player] comes in to join the fight. At that point 'Prepared Session' starts up, anew, and targets 'that foe'. The bonus AP gained from it are applied to the players existing[full, half-empty, empty] AP pool, to be used on that target, or previous ones[if still alive].
Description :
1. You are in tune with technology that enhances body movement and awareness. V.A.T.S. upgraded to the point of making it, almost, impossible - for you to get startled.. or ambushed by enemies.
2. By, incorrectly, interpreting 'Vault-Tec ASSISTED Targeting System', as 'Vault-Tec AUTOMATED Targeting System'; V.A.T.S. has become just that.. well, in your mind, at least. No foe can catch you off your guard.. unprepared.
