# Fortitude

The Fortitude skill represents your character’s toughness, health, and ability to withstand physical hardship. It measures raw endurance, vitality, and resistance to sickness, poison, or environmental extremes.

Fortitude is the skill used when resisting the effects of disease, toxins, exhaustion, starvation, or harsh environments. It also determines your Physical Stress Pool.
