Constitution

“ Constitution represents the health and general stamina of your character. It is important for all types of characters, but especially for those who plan on making the armor suit their main defense. It also helps prevent or lessen the effects of poisons and diseases. ”

— In-game description

Details

Constitution determines your overall health and how effectively your character can resist physical effects such as stuns from telekinetic punches or incapacitation from flashbangs. Constitution does not reduce the effects of bleeding. Constitution does not affect nor boost any of your skills but increases your max health, health per level and fortitude. Health per level gains from constitution work retroactively.[1] No items require constitution to be used or equipped.

High constitution score is important for characters who rely on the armor suit and damage absorption as their defense. (As opposed to avoidance, mobility and stealth.)

Health

Constitution, along with character level and some other bonuses, defines a character's maximum health score.

The formula for natural health is 30 + Constitution * 4 + Level * (4 + (Constitution * 1.2)). The player character also has a natural health multiplier of 1.5. Any item bonuses to health are applied after this.

Maximum health numbers are rounded to nearest 10 for non-player characters.
