'''Constitution''' is an [[attribute]] in [[NetHack]].

==Effects==
 +
Having a high constitution increases your healing rate and the number of [[HP]] you gain when levelling up and allows you to carry more [[weight]] in your [[inventory]].
 +

Constitution is exercised by keeping from being hungry and is increased when you sleep with a [[foocubus]] and "feel good enough to do it again."

Above level 9, higher constitution can also help you regenerate more HP every 3 turns. Specifically, having 13 or more constitution regenerates a random amount of HP from 1 to your current constitution which is then capped by level − 9, so to gain more than 1 HP on these turns you must be at least level 11.{{refsrc|allmain.c|171}}

Constitution is an attribute in NetHack.

Effects

Having a high constitution increases your healing rate and the number of HP you gain when levelling up and allows you to carry more weight in your inventory.

Constitution is exercised by keeping from being hungry and is increased when you sleep with a foocubus and "feel good enough to do it again."

constitution HP/level bonus

4–6 −1
7–14 0
15–16 +1
17 +2
18 +3
>18 +4

Reference: attrib.c, line 649.

Above level 9, higher constitution can also help you regenerate more HP every 3 turns. Specifically, having 13 or more constitution regenerates a random amount of HP from 1 to your current constitution which is then capped by level − 9, so to gain more than 1 HP on these turns you must be at least level 11.[1]

Constitution is one of the easier stats to exercise; the easiest way is simply to have a hunger status of "Not Hungry". In 3.6.1 wielding the Ogresmasher sets constitution to 25.
