Constitution: Difference between revisions

'''Constitution''' (Japanese: {{hl|体格|Taikaku}} ''Build''), abbreviated as '''Con''' ('''Bld''' in ''Thracia 776'', '''Cn''' in ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn''), and also known as '''Build''' in ''Path of Radiance'', is a statistic applied to [[unit]]s that represents that unit's physical size. Its original function was to alleviate the effects of the [[Weight (weapon)|weight]] of the unit's currently-equipped [[weapon]] on that unit's [[attack speed]] in battle—prior to the statistic's introduction in ''Thracia 776'', units' attack speed bore the full brunt of a weapon's weight, often crippling users of heavy weapon types such as [[axe]]s. Constitution also affects whether or not units can rescue each other: a unit with a higher constitution can rescue one with lower, but not vice versa.

The Constitution stat lost many of its functions in {{title|Path of Radiance}}: in the attack speed calculation, it was replaced by [[Strength]]; the [[Rescue (command)|rescuing]] calculation instead used the new [[Weight (unit)|weight]] stat; and Aid was removed entirely. It, however, retained some niche usage in the calculations for the [[Colossus]] and [[Shove]] skills, in ''Path of Radiance'' and {{title|Radiant Dawn}} respectively.

Constitution was removed entirely in {{title|Shadow Dragon}}, and has not appeared since.

In {{title|Radiant Dawn}} only, a unit's constitution stat affects that unit's ability to use the Shove and Smite skills.
