Endurance (Constitution)
Armor Check Penalty
Make an Endurance check to stave off ill effects and to
push yourself beyond normal physical limits. You can
hold your breath for long periods of time, forestall the
debilitating effects of hunger and thirst, and swim or
tread water for extended periods.
Some environmental hazards—including extreme
temperatures, violent weather, and diseases—require
you to make an Endurance check to resist and delay
debilitating effects.
Chapter 3 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide contains
rules for enduring extreme weather, disease, and
hunger and thirst.
