[Basic] How does Fitness affect Paced Running?
The two listed effects of the Fitness Traits (good or bad) are the HT bonus/penalty (to stay conscious, avoid death, resist disease or poison, etc.). and possible reduction/increase in the rate of FP loss (without qualifier).
Paced Running (B354) has no explicit mention of Fitness effects. So, does Fitness apply its HT bonus/penalty to the rolls to prevent FP loss, or apply its increase/decrease to the rate of FP loss, or both? "Both" seems a bit excessive, at first glance, but maybe it isn't?

I've always assumed that this was exactly the sort of situation in which the reduced rate of loss applies.

Re: [Basic] How does Fitness affect Paced Running?
It specifically says the bonus does not apply to HT based skills so I would not grant a bonus to avoid Fatigue loss.
However the other benefits of reduced FP loss for very fit and recovering more quickly for both versions do apply. |

Re: [Basic] How does Fitness affect Paced Running?
That's interesting. I was debating whether to apply ½FP per minute or 1FP per 2 minutes; the wording of the Fitness stuff would suggest the former, and the latter has a different effect than just reducing felt fatigue, since checks would be made half as often (fewer chances to fail over the same time period).
