The Board of Education is a unique nail board in the Fallout 3.

CharacteristicsEdit

It is composed of a plank of wood with nails hammered through it like all other nail boards found throughout the Capital Wasteland. Although not a highly damaging weapon, it has a faster attack than the standard nail board, meaning it does more damage per second. Unlike common nail boards, the Board of Education actually has a chance to score a critical hit.

DurabilityEdit

The Board of Education can successfully strike about 250 times from full condition before breaking.

VariantsEdit

• Nail board
