*'''Leveling Data'''
=== '''Leveling Data''' ===
**'''Level:'''
*'''Level:''' Represents Actor's fixed level or is the value multiplied by the player's level to determine the Actor's level. Adjusting this value will increase Actor's Attributes based on their Class. If ''PC Level Mult'' is checked, the level of the Player is multiplied by this field to determine the level of the Actor.

=== Primary Statistics ===
'''S.P.E.C.I.A.L.''' is the fundamental character system of Fallout. The values range from 0-10. The Skill system of previous games is completely replaced by Perks and so S.P.E.C.I.A.L. influences or is influenced by Perks.

== Factions Tab ==
=== Factions ===
The Actor '''Factions Tab''' displays the [[Faction]]<nowiki/>s that an Actor belongs to, and their Rank within the Faction. Most of Fallout 4 Faction data, but not all, is used to condition [[:Category:Dialogue|Dialogue]]. Other uses include Merchants, Crime Factions, and other Factions such as Diamond City or its inhabitants homes to designate what can or cannot be taken without committing a crime of theft.  It can be overridden via the '''Templates Tab'''.
