In play
Hale: prowess rises by 2, health rises by 0.25, and attraction opinion rises by 5. Hale is the first good physique trait. Prowess and health both tick up. Weak, Spindly, Robust, and Herculean sit on the other side of this trait.
How to get Hale
- Gain: Congenital and decided at birth: a child inherits Hale outright at a base 80% if both parents have it, 50% if one has it and the other carries it hidden, 25% if only one parent has it, and 2% to 10% if the parents only carry it. About 0.5% of children who inherit nothing from the physique line are born Hale at random. A few rare events can also grant it later in life.
- Remove or lose: Permanent for practical purposes: no treatment or decision removes it, and the character can still pass the trait on to children.
When the outright roll fails, the child can still inherit Hale hidden (inactive) and pass it to later generations, so carriers matter when choosing spouses.
Hale is also the stepping stone to Robust: two Hale parents give each child a base 80% chance to show Hale, and when the child inherits it from both sides a further 50% roll can lift it to Robust.
The Blood legacy Architected Ancestry lets your dynasty pick Hale as a favoured trait; newborn dynasty members who have no physique trait then get a 5% chance (10% if a parent is a player) to be born Hale.
Blood legacies improve the odds: Noble Veins raises the chance of good random and hidden inheritance, and Convergent Blood adds 30% to the chance of strengthening a trait to the next tier. Faiths with the Divine Marriage tenet add smaller bonuses to the same rolls, for bad genetic traits as well as good ones.
