Endurance
A Measure of Stamina, Vitality, and Physical Resilience
Definition
Endurance reflects a character’s toughness, physical resistance, and ability to sustain effort over time. It determines how long a character can exert themselves, resist physical stress (like poison, disease, or fatigue), and avoid being knocked out or killed. It also determines how quickly they heal and contributes directly to their Health score.
