What Keeps You Alive

Two bars run your body: health and stamina.

Health

Take damage and your health drops. Out of a fight it slowly heals on its own, so you are never stuck waiting forever, but a real beating still puts you down. Your Resistance stat is more health and a smaller hit each time.

Stamina

Stamina is the pool you spend to run and to work. Gathering and sprinting draw it down, and it refills when you ease off. Your Stamina stat is a bigger pool that comes back faster.

Some places bite

The world is not all quiet. Out past the safe ground, things will come at you. You have your own moves to fight back, and you can always run from a fight you did not want. Pick your battles.

Next: Gathering.
