Yeah, it's pretty complicated for someone who's never played Fallout, I should have maybe mentioned that. 

On the other hand, it acts as a great anti-God modding device, as it measures a character's actual abilities whilst staying loyal to the Fallout universe. Gives everyone an idea of what they can do.

But yeah, to people who've never played the game, S.P.E.C.I.A.L is going to be a complicated concept.
