Stamina

Physical endurance and resistance to bodily strain.

Overview

Stamina measures endurance and resistance to physical strain. It supports sustained exertion and the ability to remain functional through bodily hardship. Health is calculated as Stamina + 3; improving Stamina therefore also increases the character’s Health capacity.
