Thank you very much, Archmaster Pob, your help is appreciated. Thre is always something new to learn :) Having recieved this valuable info I analyzed 2 variants, valid only if one manages to get En+5 each level: Tough: Redguard with Lady and Endurance pick, starts with En=85 and reaches En=100 at the level 4. Basic: Redguard without Endurance improvements, starts with En=50 and reaches 100 at the level 11. Now, the interesting - by the level 11 Tough will get 98 hitpoints while Normal will get 75. Here I took into account only hitpoints accuired due to Endurance. From now on both characters have En=100 and each level both of them will get additional 10 hp due to Endurance. So, same for both. To round up - the difference between these cases from Lv 11 and up is only 23 hp, which is miserable at the higher levels. :( I am biting my elbows and tearing my hair - why, oh why did I pick the Lady? it gives only little advantage at the beginning, but not in the long run. My vote is against this sign, even though many advise it.
