Physique ♣ represents your physical strength and stature, your overall physical "fitness". It determines how much punishment you can take and is used in various Feats of strength.
- Poor Physique assumes you are of weak strength and puny stature. Whether fat or thin, you are still weak and poor of endurance; if it weighs over 60 lbs, you can’t lift it, and you can forget about breaking anything stronger than a pencil.
- Average Physique is that of the generally fit man in the street: You can lift at least a hundred and fifty pounds, can break small sticks and rip small books apart.
- Good Physique means you are quite fit and have a stature more imposing than most people: You are taller and better built, capable of breaking walking sticks in half and tearing apart an average library book.
- Great Physique means you are considered to be very strong for your sex: the equivalent of a bodybuilder. Your stature is imposing and you stand out in crowds; you can bend iron bars with effort, and tear apart a good-sized dictionary.
- Excellent Physique means you are probably among the strongest persons of your sex on earth. Your sculpted body ripples with muscle and sinew; you can bend steel rods in your bare hands, and rip apart the British Peerage Directory. Your Fisticuffs bare-handed damage is Rank B.
- Extraordinary Physique means you are one of the strongest men or women ever: You can break boards, bend Dwarfish silver rods, and rip apart Burke’s Peerages of New Europa with an offhand effort. Your Fisticuffs bare-handed damage is Rank B.
