Characters with this skill are knowledgeable in the ways of weight training, personal fitness, and muscle building. By engaging in proper exercise and diet, the character can temporarily exceed his or her normal Strength or Endurance. A health-conscious character also heals faster. On a successful Bodybuilding check, the character can augment one Strength related action (a melee attack, a force door roll, etc.) by one point (or 5%) per intensity of the bodybuilding skill. Additionally, any other skill that uses Endurance can be boosted by +1 per intensity of this skill. Finally, the character enjoys a faster natural healing at the rate of one extra point per two intensities and a 5% disease resistance per intensity. This skill must be maintained, however. The character must engage in three hours of strenuous exercise each week or else the skill is unavailable the following week. Constructs may not take this skill.
Critical Success: The character functions as if one intensity higher. If three critical successes are rolled sequentially, the character's Strength score is improved by one point permanently.
Critical Fumble: The character strains a muscle, making the skill unavailable for one week.
