There is no finite number of skill magazines. Skill magazines raise the corresponding skill by 10 for a short time, or 20 with the Comprehension perk. There are 4 skill books for each skill, except Science which has a fifth book as a quest reward ( Dead Money adds additional books, giving a total of 5 each, except Science which now has 6 and Survival which receives no additional book). During the quest Ain't That a Kick in the Head, you will choose three skills to receive a one-time boost of 15 points.
³ Will only appear if youve killed Motor-Runner. ² Will only appear if youve killed Vulpes Inculta.
