Al’s Chosen

You were a disciple of a steel thinker—a pre-war Al revered as a guide, protector or oracle. Whether through faith or survival, you followed its directives and watched as it shaped your people’s future.

2. Preservation Code: Al prioritized the protection of life above all else. Take a Recovery Stim Relic (d10 Heal, d4 Rads).
3. Progress Protocol: You were tasked with reclaiming and rebuilding lost technology. Take a Mechanical Arm Relic and hold a Bulky item and a regular item, or hold three regular items.
4. Obedient Order: Al imposed strict rules to create a controlled society. Take a Subjugator Shotgun (d4 Blast).
5. Natural Balance: Al sought harmony between humanity and the wasteland. Take a Geiger Counter Relic which tells you how much radiation is in the atmosphere.
