Reduces poison damage by this amount.

”— Fallout In-game description

Poison Resistance is derived statistic in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and Fallout Tactics.

It reduces poison damage by a percentage as well as the chance to get poisoned.

Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics

$\text{Initial Level}=\text{Endurance}\times5$

• The Fast Metabolism trait sets initial poison resistance to 0.
• The Snakeater perk increases poison resistance by 25% per rank.
• The Vault City Inoculations perk increases poison resistance by 10%.

Fallout 3

Poison Resistance is also present in Fallout 3. It has a much smaller part than in the previous games since only a few enemies (Radscorpions chief among them) use poison.

$\text{Initial Level} \%=(\text{Endurance}-1)\times5$

Example: A starting Endurance of 5.

$(5-1)\times5=20\%~\text{Poison resistance}$

• The Cyborg perk can increase resistance +10%.
• The Survival Expert perk can add between an additional +2% to +6%.
