Fortitude is a measure of a person’s ability to deal with physical suffering. This includes ailments, toxins, and exhaustion. Humanity makes its home on many harsh worlds within the Askellon Sector, and a lack of Fortitude can mean the difference between life and death. Actively training this skill can include toiling through pain, ingesting small amounts of various toxins, and extended fasting and exercises in sleep deprivation. In doing so, the body becomes better able to endure and overcome those dangers.
