Description[]
"PERSONAL SKILL. Just don't ask me to help you move furniture, okay?" Powerhouse is a personal skill that provides a wide range of passive bonuses as well as extra attack moves that greatly improve the character's combat and exploration abilities.
Training[]
- "A Powerhouse wades into the middle of 'em and mixes it up hand to hand."
- Powerhouse is trained by killing zombies in Melee combat. This skill's XP gain rate is unaffected by traits and facility bonuses, unlike Fighting.
- According to game file, each single kill gives 10 points to Powerhouse. Also, this skill does not benefit from the "Slaughter" feat.
Basic Abilities[]
These bonuses are available to Powerhouse characters from the start (level 1)
Strong Back: You can carry more weight in your pack before becoming encumbered (+12 encumbrance limit).
Pack Mule: You can carry more items per stack (4 instead of 3 consumable items, ammo still stacks to 30).
Powerhouse: Reduced stamina penalty when using heavy weapons, and you can swing them a bit easier.
Big Guns: Increased mobility and control when using light machine guns.
Powerhouse Level Details[]
Notes
- The "points" part is data taken from game file (presumably XP requirement). Needs more testing.
- Leveling up Powerhouse does *NOT* gain Fame.
