From The Vault
Pyromaniac is a Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout Tactics and Lionheart perk and a Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel skill (skills in this game work like perks do in other Fallout games).
[edit] Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics
This Perk will make your character do horrible things with fire—to other people. +5 points of damage with fire-based weapons.
In Fallout 2, the most violent fire-based death animation will always be used.
[edit] Fallout 3
With the Pyromaniac perk, you do +50% damage with fire-based weapons, like the Flamer and Shishkebab.
[edit] Affected weapons
- The damage rates of the Burnmaster (the first unique Flamer) and the Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese Pistol are unaffected by this perk. The guide lists these as being affected by this perk, but the weapons aren't on the form list - this is most likely an oversight by the developers.
- This is arguably one of the most useful perks in the game if you often utilize Big Guns and your weapon of choice is one of the affected.
[edit] Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel
Each level of this skill increases your Critical Chance for +5% (up to a maximum +25) when using fire.
[edit] Points requirements
- 1 Rank : 2 Points
- 2 Rank : 4 Points
- 3 Rank : 8 Points
- 4 Rank : 16 Points
- 5 Rank : 32 Points
[edit] Lionheart
You have a natural affinity for fire and a knack for setting things ablaze - especially other people.You get +10% damage with fire-based weapons or spells.
