Endurance#

The rode of the ones who keep going. It restores your stamina on its own, a little every turn, so you can fight on long after you'd have stopped.

Ranks and tests#

Stamina. Restores stamina, the reserve every skill is used from. 1d4 at rank 1, up to 1d20+10 at rank 5. Rodes of renewal has the rest of its kind.

When a rode of renewal restores

Roll your rank’s die at the start of each of your turns in a fight and restore that much. Outside a fight, roll it once for every hour you rest. It never takes you past your maximum, and it can’t bring you back from 0 health.

The master#

Sinthos runs the log flume at Hatchet, where the timber comes down off the mountains, and has never given anyone a second name. Every walker he has trained has been knocked into the flume at least once, and he has pulled every one of them out.

Find Sinthos at the log flume at Hatchet, in Tharsis. Where the masters teach maps all fourteen.

How it shows#

None of this changes a roll. It’s how the people around you can tell what you walk, if you want them to.

• You bounce on your heels when you’re idle, as if you’re about to go again.
• You’re the last one to sit down.

Who walks it#

The classes the rode does the most for. Any class can walk it.

Plainsman Every strike and stance a plainsman uses costs stamina, and they never stop using them. Built for it Headhunter Shouts, strikes and hunts all cost a headhunter stamina. Built for it Scout A scout's chains of strikes run on stamina. Helps Pickpocket Backstabs, trips and dirt kicks all draw on stamina. Helps Monk A monk's kicks and punches come one after another, and each one costs. Helps

The rode finder ranks every rode for a class.

What others say#

The long road

Sinthos needs a message carried to the Port of Doonan faster than a horse can take it, because horses have been dying on that road. A walker of endurance can run it. Whatever is killing the horses hasn’t tried one yet.
