十四个问题答完之后，会开始进行第二阶段计算，对战斗技能做分数加权，规则如下：

1. 先看你的SPECIAL属性，以力量为标准，再以感知、耐力、敏捷依序和标准比较来看何者最高，“依序”的意思是如果你感知比敏捷高，且两者都高于力量，那最后还是会以敏捷为判断基准。以下判定都同这种方式。

力量：Melee, Unarmed +1

感知：Energy Weapons, Explosives +1

耐力：Unarmed +1

敏捷：Guns +1

不过这段script的if判定有个很蠢的bug，变成只要你的感知比力量高，就一定把敏捷当成是你最高的属性。

2. 检查你的潜行技能在之前问题答完后是否为前三名，如果是的话，就把潜行设为第三个专长技能，并对适合潜行的战斗技能（Guns, Melee, Unarmed）加权1点。

3. 加权结束，开始决定专长技能，技能分成三大类：战斗、开门（gate-opener）、其他。

第一个专长技能会从战斗类挑一个出来，预设以Guns的分数为标准，因为它算是最泛用的战斗技能。接着依序拿Energy Weapons, Explosives, Melee, Unarmed和标准比较。

第二个专长技能会从开门类挑一个出来，预设以Speech的分数为标准，因为它球探足球比分效果比较高。接着依序拿Science, Lockpick, Barter和标准比较。

第三个专长技能是所谓的「外卡」（wild card），会从所有类别内挑选。如果在第二步判定时你的潜行不是前三名，就把潜行的分数当成标准，然后依下列顺序拿还没被选为专长的技能和标准比较：Barter -> Energy Weapons -> Explosives -> Lockpick -> Medicine -> Melee -> Repair -> Science -> Guns -> Speech -> Survival -> Unarmed

虽然说到最后你还是可以自由决定要选哪三个专长技能，但从上面一连串的判定过程可以看出设计者是怎么想的。
