==Description==

Similar to traits, perks are used to further shape and develop your character, but unlike traits they don't have any downsides at all, though some of them are more useful than others. 

If you meet the requirements you will be able to choose one perk after each three levels, up to level 24 (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24). You'll be able to choose 8 perks. Some perks, such as [[Action Boy]] or [[Toughness]], are stackable; for example, if you take "Action Boy" twice, you will have two extra Action Points.

== Reminder ==
You cannot use drugs to meet the perk requirements; the base values are used. However, you can take the +2 stat perks ([[Gain Strength]], [[Gain Agility]], etc.) to qualify for other perks.
