Endurance

Doing stuff makes you tired. If you get tired enough, you start operating at less than peak efficiency. How tired you can get is a function of your Con. Various things (see below for partial list) cost you endurance points. A night's sleep gets you Con/5 endurance points back. A day of not-doing-anything-that-could-possibly-be- tiring also gets you Con/5 endurance back. Endurance is generally hard to recover with magic.

Effects of being tired

As you get tired, the following effects kick in (cumulative): (Number of End gathered in multiples of Con)

• 0.5 roll one less die on any stat that's higher than your Con (DI excepted, resistance rolls excepted)
• 1.0 All rolls are at +1 difficulty
• 1.5 Number of successes maxes out at your Con (DI excepted, resistance rolls excepted)
• 2.0 All rolls are at +2 (total) difficulty
• 2.5 Number of successes maxes out at your successes on a Con check (DI excepted, resistance rolls excepted)
• 3.0 All rolls are at +3 (total) difficulty
• 3.5 Start making Con checks to stay conscious: hourly, and one each time you spend End.
• 4.0 All rolls are at +4 (total) difficulty
• 4.5 Pass out.
