Trying to figure out the scale for endurance, as I can't find it anywhere in the books on the difference between "human" endurance and "supernatural" so I can clarify something for a player, and myself. Because I'm not finding anything in the books unless I'm just glancing over it.

There's no "scale" of Physical Endurance, there's just "Supernatural" and "Not Supernatural"

Hi General_Failure,

you will find something in the character generation chapter in the attribute discription (for example BtS-II, page 134):

A PE above 30 makes you virtually impervious to disease (only designer bugs or the most virulent viruses, I guess Ebola or some such, "have a chance to affect the character"). Well, and the save vs. coma & death continues to improve beyond 30.

However, I would not per se call that "supernatural". I mean you might, but technically and to my best knowledge the rules only dub P.S. as possibly supernatural. Other attributes go beyond 30 but are not designated supernatural.

Cheers
Hendrik

PS: You sig, Gazirra, that's Calvin & Hobbes, right?

Completely slipped my mind I had posted and not checked up on this.

Ok, well that's the thing, I saw that thing on attributes 30 and above, but there was nothing for it under 30, also that's "anyone" for PE of 30+, I'm just looking at how long say a grackle tooth with supernatural endurance and function under stress and heavy activities verses say a dog boy, because one is supernatural, and one isn't, and there is nothing on it. This can be applied to anything, even a dragon and some lesser being.

There needs to be a scale. Granted for borgs, their physical endurance is about useless since they can repeat the same action almost indefinitely.

A persons PE is supernatural is based on whether the persons race is supernatural or not. A Farie with a 6 PE has a supernatural PE where a big buff hero with a 30 PE still has a normal PE.

I agree ... but does this have any consequence (as supernatural strength does have)?

IIRC the designation "supernatural" for anything but supernatural strength is just a title, not also a consequence. But I may very well be wrong and would much appreciate a reference to the contrary.
