Constitution

From Shatterspark

Constitution is one of the six attributes. Constitution measures health, stamina, and vital force.

Constitution Checks

A Constitution check can model any task relying on physical stamina or to push beyond your limits. Other possibilities include:

  • Athletics. Run, swim, or climb for a long distance or a long time.
  • Performance. Dance, drum, or speak for hours on end.
  • Unskilled. Labor without rest for a long time. Stay awake. Quaff an entire stein of ale in one go.

As the nature of endurance is often passive, Constitution checks are possibly the least common of the six attributes.

Saving Throws

Constitution saving throws are made against hazards that would challenge your immune system, stamina, or bodily composition. Possibilities include poison, disease, extreme heat, extreme cold, holding your breath, and anything that could induce exhaustion.

Constitution Mark

Your Constitution mark equals: 8 + SB + Constitution.

This mark is used by features that originate from your body's inner workings, such as a dragon's fiery breath.

Hit Points

Your hit points (HP) represent how much damage you can take before being knocked out. A higher Constitution gives you higher hit points to begin with, and also enables you to recover more hit points from a quick rest.
