Skill group

Might skills.

Test

2d10 + Might; 11 or lower is tier 1, 12 to 16 tier 2, 17 or higher tier 3. Training grants a benefit and unlocks attempts untrained heroes cannot make.

How it is used

Tier 3 shrugs off the hardship. Tier 2 pushes through at a cost such as arriving weary. Tier 1 means collapse or a lasting consequence.

Edges and banes

Rest, food, and gear suited to the conditions grant an edge (+2). Injury, starvation, or already being winded imposes a bane (-2).

Overview

Endurance is the body's capacity to keep going: marching through the night, holding your breath in a flooded tunnel, rowing through a storm, standing after a day without water. It is stamina in the everyday sense, not the combat statistic. It appears in travel and survival scenes: a forced march to beat raiders to a village, a mine full of bad air, a frozen pass, an interrogation. Directors also use it as the group test when the whole party shares one strain.

How it works

Characteristic: Might.
