Resistance improves health and the degree of tolerance to poison and radiation, Charisma increases the influence on non-player characters, Intelligence allows you to carry out repairs and pick locks, Agility increases the speed of reloading and extracting weapons and finally, Luck can increase the probability of inflicting critical hits, finding ammunition or winning at gambling.
