Boundless Endurance


4th Edition


Hi guys, got a technical question.

The Power states 'You gain regeneration 2 + your Con when you are bloodied'

Now does that mean:-
A)You cannot activiate it till you are blooded?
B)If activiated whilst you are blooded you regenerate till you aren't blooded anymore.
C)If activiated during an encounter previously but it has stopped due to the HP exceeding the Blooded amount, will the regeneration kick back in if the PC goes below his blooded again?

It appears to me as a daily it would be only so useful if it works till the regeneration exceeds the blooded status and stops.

Cheers for any clarification.

If the candidate chooses B) and C) he will get full points!

You can activate it whilst bloodied and you will gain regeneration for the whole encounter as long as you are bllodied. If you do get more HP during the encounter (due to this power for example) this power becomes "dormant" as you are no longer in the bloodied condition. As soon as you are bllodied again during the same encounter, the power kicks in again and gives you regeneration.
At least this is how we understood and play this power.
IMO this power i not very good at low levels. But in higher levels with a lot of HP even while bloodied, this is an exceptional power!

It is a "stance" power. That means you can use it whenever you want to, and it lasts until the end of the encounter.

Example: In round one the fighter uses Boundless Endurance. In round four he becomes bloodied. At the beginning of round five, after taking any ongoing damage, he regenerates 2+CON modifier hp. Ditto rounds six and seven, after which he is no longer bloodied. In round ten he becomes bloodied again. At the beginning of round eleven, he'll begin regenerating again.

So this power lasts for the whole encounter but only has an effect if the condition of the PC is Bloodied? Ok that sounds like what I've taken it to be but thanks for the clarification.

Strictly, no, it doesn't last the whole encounter. It lasts as long as you remain in the stance in question. If you start up another one better suited to the situation then you lose the effect.

Thanks for that, I am new to DMing the game and my players are asking the questions that I've yet to understand. Overall the game is going well and players are generally enjoying it well enough.

That's a good point that I forgot to mention.
