How are you defining "fitness"? How does it compare to strength, constitution or dexterity?ok ok, so Elves have good fitness but low endurance; do they get good strength ? ( perhaps Wood Elves ? )

hey! I'm not talking about players, I'm talking about characters ( lol )Oh yes there are. Tons of them actually. For instance some the youtuberatti of body builders, strength competitors and powerlifters that I watch have had little bits of D&D show up in their videos. From Jon Call, to Martins Licis (who actually played one or two sessions of D&D on his channel), to Omar Isuf (who's shirts are very cool), to Dr. Mike Israetel.
And others that, due to oblique references in their content, I suspect they play or used to, like Gregg Knuckols.
When I recently changed gyms a trainer asked about my lifting belt with the words "Bend Bars Lift Gates" embroidered on it. Turns out he's a huge fan of the Adventure Zone.
And I think many of them, me included, understand the difference between str and con.
well, I must admit that there would be strongmen in circus;Technically true, but they are extremely closely related though. It's an outlier when they don't go hand in hand.
to me, fitness should pertain to Dex, 'cause it's a tool for Acrobats !How are you defining "fitness"? How does it compare to strength, constitution or dexterity?
Acrobats are generally exceptionally strong for their size.to me, fitness should pertain to Dex, 'cause it's a tool for Acrobats !
yup, and if you read enough RPGs you can probably at least name 2 dozen possible statsYou can combine all 6 into “Awesomeness”. Or split them into a thousand very specific categories. 6 abilities is as good a number as any.
Libertad said:There’s no Strength score; instead there’s Ferocity which measures your overall capacity to inflict violence and adds to your to-hit rolls for melee and to all physical damage roll both ranged and melee.
Health, which is akin to Constitution, determines your carrying capacity on top of how many Wounds you can suffer before death.
Dexterity does not add to your Armour Rating but adds to your initiative modifier, surprise rolls, to-hit with missile weapons, and one’s Speed rating (how many squares you can move per round) plus everything else said score usually does.
Intelligence also covers perception and surprise rolls as well as general knowledge and “dungeon navigation” stuff.
Instead of Wisdom we have Willpower which is more or less your mental fortitude in trying times.
Charisma functions more or less the same, but can be used to reduce a community’s Resentment and people with high scores are often believed to be blessed by magic and/or the divine.
