Resilience
The Resilience skill is used to persevere through tedious, harsh, or uncomfortable situations. These situations can range in direness and intensity, but they may include withstanding torture, compelling oneself to push through an all-nighter, or over-consuming food to the point of bursting.
Examples
- Strength (Resilience). Strength is used when someone needs to hold heavy items or strenuous positions for long amounts of time, such as holding a pull-up position or standing with a heavy book held out in one’s hand.
- Dexterity (Resilience). Dexterity is used when someone might need to hold their bodies in uncomfortable or unnatural positions for an unreasonable amount of time, such as maintaining an uncomfortable stretched position.
- Constitution (Resilience). Constitution is used when someone is trying to push their endurance past its reasonable physical limits, such as participating in an eating contest or sitting beneath the pounding of a thundering waterfall.
- Intelligence (Resilience). Intelligence is used when someone needs to keep focus on information being presented over long periods of time, such as a lengthy and convoluted lecture.
- Wisdom (Resilience). Wisdom is used when someone is trying to assert their mental willpower over a situation, such as keeping cool in the face of someone attempting to goad them, or pushing past the mental demand of sleep when staying up all night.
- Charisma (Resilience). Charisma is used when someone is trying to endure through an uncomfortable social situation, such as convincing oneself to not dissociate during a social gathering.
