Endurance

Endurance is one of the seven Primary Statistics in SPECIAL.

Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics
Modifies: Hit Points, Poison & Radiation Resistance, Healing Rate, and the additional hit points per level.

Endurance can be raised by 3 in Fallout and Fallout 2 by using Buffout.

Fallout 3
Modifies: Hit Points, Poison & Radiation Resistance (but not damage resistance) and the Big Guns and Unarmed Skill. Endurance also determines the speed your oxygen counter counts down when you are holding your breath underwater.

Ways to increase Endurance

 * The Endurance Bobblehead can be found in the Deathclaw Sanctuary, on a small platform under the rotting brahmin corpse.
 * Some clothing, such as the common wasteland wanderer outfit and the Mechanist's Costume increase Endurance.
 * 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.

Fallout: New Vegas
Endurance determines a characters environmental resistances (poison, radiation), unarmed and survival skill bonuses, hit points and the number of implants allowed.

Fallout 4


Endurance determines your starting Hit Points, as well as your additional hit points per level. Additional points in Endurance are retroactive; increasing it later on in the game will reward all the hit points the player would have gained with a higher starting statistic.


 * $$HitPoints = 80 + Endurance \times 5$$


 * $$HitPointsPerLevel = 2.5 + Endurance \times .5$$

Additionally, Endurance reduces the rate at which Action Points deplete while sprinting or, (with the Strong Back perk) running while over-encumbered.

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.
