Fallout 4
Modifies: Hit Points and the rate that Action Points deplete by while sprinting.


 * $$HitPoints = 80 + Endurance \times 5$$

 * $$TotalHitPoints = HitPoints + (HitPointsPerLevel \times (CurrentCharacterLevel - 1))$$

rounded down.

Leveling Up: In Fallout 4 Endurance is retroactive; increasing it later on in the game will still reward you all the hit points you would have gained with a higher initial statistic. An endurance of 10 will grant you 7.5 HP per level (or 7 and 8 every other level, since health is rounded down). It is possible to increase endurance beyond 10 permanently (e.g. picking up a vault tec bobblehead), which will allow the player to gain even more hp per level. There is no Hit Point Cap.

Fallout Shelter
Modifies: Dweller's maximum Hit Points.

On each level-up Dweller's maximum HP increases according formula:

$$MaxHitPoints += (BaseEndurance + OutfitEndurance) * 0.5 + 2.5$$;

Dwellers with higher Endurance perform better in Nuka-Cola bottler.
