Stats part II: Strength, Constitution, HP

In games, strength has to do with... your physical strength. Guess what the real life correlation is?

Constitution (sometimes referred to as stamina) affects your HP level and thus how much damage you can take before you have to rest. I like to think of this as in-game endurance. You can run all-out longer.

HP is your total health. Keeping yourself healthy is essential for a good gaming and living experience.

Yep, this is as "in-depth" as it gets for this.

I mentioned before some of the moral obligations of a Scout. Right up there in the Scout Oath is the promise, "On my honor, I will do my best... to keep myself physically strong." It doesn't really matter how smart you are (and you're not proving yourself very wise) if you don't keep up your physical health.

I also mentioned that one of the main things that I am is an active Christian. I can't serve God and my fellow men if I don't keep my body, referred to as a temple in the scriptures, in good shape.

It's not as though it's very hard to keep in shape. For most people, all it takes is a healthier diet and a bit more physical activity. I've found myself slacking in that a little. I hop on the computer in the morning instead of doing a light workout. Maybe I'll have to devote some of my training to my strength and constitution stats in the future.
