Probably not. The only communications that are really left are radios
and they don't work most of the time. Ninety percent of the worlds
population has been wiped out by a combination of the bombs and the Four
Horsemen. However, there's a good chance that the character would be
hired by towns to take out the leaders of marauding road gangs and such.

I agree with this. The +1d8 is pretty heavy as bonus damage dice go, but
I wouldn't see it as being unreasonable for a kick. Plus 1d6 for punches
looks good. Sounds like a good system to use until "Waste Warriors"
comes out later this year. Btw, don't forget to take "Don't Get 'im
Riled".
