WOIN Fortitude skill?

[BJG]

Hi,

I've another newbie question: According to the OLD core rules (page 66), when calculating Vital Defense, you can add survival, fortitude, or resistance skill to your dice pool. However, fortitude is not listed as a skill, but only as an exploit. The exploit gives a bonus to Melee Defense. What's up here? Am I misinterpreting something?

Thanks for any answer!

Fortitude is also a skill.

Even though it's not listed with the skills on page 20? Or am I overlooking it?

 

[Morrus]

The list of skills is just examples; it’s not exhaustive.

Thanks for the answer!

Would have been a lot clearer IMHO if it they had included it in the list, or if they gave the exploit a different name.

 

[Morrus]

Apparently I do

Morrus as in Russ Morrissey I presume?
