Your endurance, hardiness, and physical power. A higher score indicates a more robust and muscular body.

*'''Encumbrance:''' You may carry [[bulky]] items up to your strength control. If you carry more you are [[burdened]], and you suffer a penalty to all strength checks and skills controlled by strength and your speed is halved. An individual counts as bulky equal to their stamina.

*'''Encumbrance:''' You may carry [[bulky]] items up to your strength without being [[burdened]]. Up to double your strength is the maximum you can lift and carry. A person counts as a bulky(strength) item when carried.
−
*'''Hits.''' You have hits equal to your strength score. Hits damage removes bubbles until you have none left. When you suffer hits damage that isn't absorbed by your hits bubbles you must make a strength check, often called a '''destruction''' check. If the check fails you suffer a hits marker (usually a black token). Your success margin on the check must equal or beat the amount of hits damage you suffered. Note that suffering exactly 0 hits damage (such as losing your last bubble, or an attack that is exactly blocked by hits armor) still requires a check. Every 10 hits damage from one attack automatically causes a hits marker, and any remaining forces another check normally. Your first hits marker gives you a penalty on all checks, and is referred to as being '''injured'''. Your second hits marker forces you out, and you may no longer act. This is referred to as being '''wounded'''. You may recover a hits marker each day (see '''recover''' below).
+
*'''Hits:''' Heroes start with (5+strength) hits. Hits damage temporarily eliminates them. If you suffer hits damage but have no hits to lose you make a check and are injured if you fail. Every three hits requires an extra level of success to avoid injury, and the difference between your success levels rolled and needed is the number of times you are injured.
−
*'''Lift:''' Some objects may require a minimum strength score to pick up or push. Similarly you can throw a small object areas equal to your strength score, or farther if it is [[balanced]].
+
*'''Lift:''' Some objects go beyond [[bulky]] require a strength check just to pick up or push. Heavier objects have penalties to the check.  
−
*'''Fortitude.''' After a project or an encounter that lasts more than one exchange, you must make a check against your strength score. If the check fails you become [[exhausted]]. A strenuous project adds a penalty, but a casual project grants a bonus to the check. Your success margin must beat the number of days since you've had [[rest]]. If you are already exhausted you lose grit equal to your failure margin. [[Climate]] may force additional checks or add consequences to a failure.
+
*'''Endurance.''' You must make a check against your strength to avoid becoming exhausted after a project, or an encounter that lasts more than one exchange. Strenuous activity incurs a penalty, but a casual activity may grant a bonus to the check. The success level you need is the number of days since your last  [[rest]]. [[Climate]] may force checks or add consequences to a failure.
−
*'''Recover:''' If you are [[sick]] or have lost hits you roll against your strength score each day when you [[rest]]. If you succeed you recover hits equal to your strength control, or eliminate a hits marker or the sick state.
+
*'''Recover:''' If you are [[sick]], [[injured]], or have lost hits you roll against your strength score each day when you [[rest]]. You recover one hit or condition for each success level.
−
*'''Stamina:''' Stamina is your innate resistance to damage, and is equal to your strength control. When you suffer hits damage from a single attack that exceeds your stamina you are [[bleeding]].
+
*'''Stagger:''' If [[Stagger]] exceeds your strength you are knocked [[down]].
−
*'''[[Skill]]s:''' Your strength control is used to determine the default score for all your physical [[skill]]s: [[Combat]], [[Move]], and [[Survive]]. The starting score for each is 5 plus your control. You may spend points to increase specific skills. If your strength control improves, all physical skill scores likewise increase. [[Modifier]]s for strength count towards all physical skills as well.
+
*'''Slam.''' Unarmed attacks usually use your [[combat]] skill against a target within your [[reach]]. A success deals your slam effects, and represents a  punch, kick, headbutt, tackle, or any other unarmed strike. A slam rolls 2dE and is [[mighty]], adding dice equal to your strength. Blue results deal hits, and red results deal more grit.
