Common Uses for the Endurance Skill

*Skill uses marked by * can only be attempted if trained in the skill.*

Forced March

Each hour of walking after 8 hours requires you to attempt a DC 10 Endurance check (+2 per hour after the first). If you fail, you move -1 Persistent step along the Condition Track. You can only remove this Persistent Condition by resting for 8 hours.

Hold Breath

You can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to half your Constitution score (rounded down). After this period of time, you must succeed in an Endurance check to continue holding your breath. The DC increases by +2 per additional round. If you fail, you must breathe or move -6 Persistent steps on the Condition Track. If you reach the bottom of the Condition Track, you fall unconscious. If you are still unable to breathe on your next turn after falling unconscious, you die.

*Ignore Hunger*

You can go without food for a number of days equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum 1 day). After this time, you must succeed on an Endurance check each day or move -3 step Persistent steps along the Condition Track. The DC increases by +2 each day thereafter. You can only remove this Persistent Condition by eating a nutritious meal.

*Ignore Thirst*

You can go without water for a number of hours equal to three times your Constitution score. After this time, you must succeed on an Endurance check each day or move -3 Persistent steps along the Condition Track. You may only remove this Persistent Condition by drinking at least 1 liter of water; for creatures that are not Medium sized, multiply the water required by 10 for every size category above Medium or divide it by 10 for every size category below Medium. The DC increases by +2 each hour thereafter.

*Sleep in Armor*

You can sleep while wearing Medium, Heavy, or Power Armor by succeeding at an Endurance check. If you fail, you don't sleep and move -2 Persistent step along the Condition Track. You can only remove this Persistent Condition by sleeping for 8 hours.
