For a while now I've been working on rules to run an E6 Fallout campaign using 3.5/PF as a base. I'd like to share what I've got so far and would appreciate some feedback. I have yet to finish the Bestiary as well chapters on Action Points, NPC Classes, Random Scavenging, and Vehicles & Maneuvers.

Dotted as I'd love to take my favourite videogame and tabletop game and put them into one!

Some early drafts of Fallout monsters (because if I build one more table for random scavenging today I'm going to go insane):

Haven't looked at all of it yet, I will give you my feedback a a longtime Gamma World DM and Fallout player (every version):
Based on some of the creatures I am assuming you are trying to replicate Fallout 3 and New Vegas?
I have some ideas/observations -
Radiation: I think you should have a base radiation allowance based off of Con. Once you accumulate levels above this you start to suffer the effects of radiation poisoning. This gives a little reward to those who invest in Con and replicates the safe levels of rad exposure as depicted in FO3/NV. If you have a base point threshold (say x2 Con) then it's much easier to track levels of poisoning than going by percentages (25%, etc). So a PC with 13 CON can take 26 rads with no effect, from 27 to 52 rads they suffer minor rad poisoning, 53-78 rads moderate, etc. I would also have rads stick around (like in FO3/NV) unless meds are used or if you are kind you can have them heal at a few points a day on their own.
Powered Armor is a little weak -it should actually give a boost to Str - since you're running E6, it should be a small one, but it should give a boost and a small increase in carrying capacity. I would not have a sale price for Powered Armor - maybe a fee to repair but it shouldn't be for sale.
Also, are you going to have variants for the powered armor - Pre-war, Brotherhood, Enclave (and their variants)?
Armor, General - not sure if you want armor to provide some level or resistance to fire or radiation for med or higher artifact armor - depending on the resources available in the game this could be too much or it could be a good way to offer some resistances bundled into the armor.
I need to get going, but I will read all your docs later on tonight and tomorrow. Can't wait to see your robots.
Good work and good luck with this.

On a related note there will be a Nuka Break Season 2... Should be fun.
