• The Intense Training perk will allow you to increase your Endurance (or any other S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stat) once for each time that you take it.
• The perk No Weaknesses sets any S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats to 5 unless they're already higher.
• The Almost Perfect perk, added in Broken Steel, sets all S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats to 9 unless they're already 9 or 10.

Notes

• If the player has an Endurance of 8 while having no stats at 1 or a Luck of 10/1, Doc Mitchell will say "I guess that explains how you're still alive. You're built solid as an oak."
• If the player has an Endurance of 1, Doc Mitchell will say "I just don't get it. A stiff breeze'd tear you in two but a couple of bullets and you're right as rain."
• A starting Endurance of 9 will guarantee you the ability to get every implant. An Endurance of 7 will allow you to get all SPECIAL increasing implants.

Lionheart

Endurance represents the character’s general health and ability to withstand punishment and physical exertion. Endurance mainly affects the character’s hit points. A character with high Endurance will be able to fight longer and take more damage in combat.
