Information

Endurance provides three main benefits when leveled.

1. Stamina: allows the player to attack, dodge and block more before becoming Stance Broken.
2. Equipment Load: allows the player to equip heavier armor and weapons and raises the threshold for roll weights, raising the maximum allowed weight before the player's roll type changes (see rolling section). 
3. Bleed Resistance: allows the player a higher threshold of Bleed buildup until they are affected by Blood Loss.

Rolling & Walking

For detailed information on rolls, including a mathematical breakdown, see the page Dodge Roll. There are four speeds of rolling/walking, known as 'weight classes'. They affect how maneuverable the player character is and are calculated with the following simple equation. 

Equip Load is similarly derived from the player's Endurance Attribute:

Modifiers

Ring of Favor and Protection: increases max Stamina and Equip Load by 20%.
Havel's Ring: raises maximum Equip Load by 50%.
Mask of the Father: raises maximum Equip Load by 5%.
