Fitness

Overview

Fitness is a Power Pool that was available to characters prior to Issue 19. Characters already using the original Fitness Power Pool (sometimes dubbed as Legacy Fitness) can continue to do so as normal. Using a respec on these characters, however, will remove the option to take Fitness as a Power Pool choice, and instead, will automatically be granted Inherent Fitness.

Inherent Fitness is a set of Inherent Powers. The set of powers contains the same versions of all four powers from the Fitness Pool. Brand new characters and characters which had never selected the Fitness pool prior to the changeover in Issue 19 automatically have all the Fitness inherent powers added upon reaching or if above level 1. These characters will never have the option to select the legacy Fitness as one of their four Power Pools.

Both the pool and inherent Fitness powers are all Auto Powers, providing their bonus at no cost to Endurance. They can be enhanced like other universal inherent powers such as Rest and Sprint.

Power Tables

All four Inherent Fitness powers are granted automatically upon training to level 1.

The following table shows at what level the Power Pool versions are available if a character already has selected one or more of the Pool version powers:

Power	Level	Effect
