Enduring

AX.C.06.03.02

A lineage defined by stress-adapted biology, the product of generations surviving environments or conditions that would break less adapted bodies. Enduring lineages absorb damage that would incapacitate others and recover faster than their companions expect.

• Health Modifier: +4 per Fortitude advancement
• Cultural Talent: Fortitude +1D

Structural Note: The Enduring lineage provides a larger Health Modifier than standard (+4 vs. the typical +1 to +2 range) in place of a Perk or Special Ability. The investment is entirely in durability, Enduring characters are significantly harder to bring down but gain no extraordinary capability beyond their biological toughness.
