Stamina

Your pony’s HP

Your pony character’s Stamina is not based on a die; rather it’s a number of Stamina points. Stamina measure how healthy, both in Body and Mind, your pony is at present. If you are perfectly fresh, rested, and full of energy, your Stamina points are at their maximum.

Losing Stamina

If you travel and get very tired, are hurt, or become sad or confused, you will lose a number of Stamina points. Write down on your Pony Sheet, under “Current Stamina,” the number of Stamina points you are left with.

For example, you have a maximum value of 10 Stamina points, and after a long day trekking across the countryside, you are so exhausted that you lose 2 Stamina points. This means that your current Stamina points becomes 8—you write this down on your Pony Sheet. If you also twisted an ankle on a steep mountain trail, you might end up losing 1 or more additional points of Stamina.

Maximum Stamina

Your Maximum Stamina points will increase as your pony character develops, as explained below.

What’s my Maximum Stamina value?

It’s easy to figure out your Maximum Stamina value.

Look at the values of your pony’s Body and Mind traits. Ignore the letter “D” in these values and add up the two numbers. This total score equals your Maximum Stamina value.

So for example, a pony with a Mind of D4 and Body of D6 adds up 4 plus 6 to get 10. The pony’s Maximum Stamina value is 10. A pony with a Mind of D6 and a Body of D6 would have a Maximum Stamina value of 12.

When your pony gains levels, their Body or Mind value will increase, getting a better die. This will also make your pony’s Maximum Stamina value increase. For example, a pony with a Body of D10 and a Mind of D12 goes up a level and increases their Mind to D20. Their current Maximum Stamina value of 22 increases to 30 (Body 10 plus Mind 20).

Another way to increase your stamina is to gain the Special Skill: Stamina talent. This talent allows you to add the value of this die to your Maximum Stamina value.

So, if you currently have a Maximum Stamina value of 30 and you take Special Skill: Stamina (D4), you now have 34 Maximum Stamina (Body 10 plus Mind 20 plus Special Skill: Stamina 4).
