Best way to train toughness?

Get the crap beat out of you and then stand back up if you can to continue fighting instead of playing dead.

Easiest way to do that is to get yourself enslaved and constantly try to bash in your captors faces until they beat you down, they'll heal you after you're knocked unconcious, it's a good way to train your martial arts too if you can get a couple of good smacks upside their heads when they're not paying attention to you.
You can also train your strength and lockpicking by unlocking your shackles and putting them in your inventory every time they get replaced and let your character walk around and be an "obedient slave" and if you don't overdo it (the max your strength XP bonus you can get is 25% so any weight you put on after that is just a loss to your athletic XP gain) you can still raise your athletics albeit very slowly by letting your guy walk around.

What if some bandits beat you out in the desert and you're too much of a weakling to pull yourself together and come to? Every way to train toughness has risk, the slave guards usually use blunt, so it's extremely rare they'll bludgeon a limb off before you're knocked out. If you're REALLY that worried about it, just change your limb loss frequency to "rare" in the options.

Turn on Block and fight some Starving Bandits.
This is best done after you have some resources made from trading. It will build up your atheletics so you can outrun anything too dangerous at the drop of a hat. With more resources from the trading you can have a few teammates who can join you in getting beat up trying to defend, more people means someone will recover sooner to patch everyone else up.. Also carry some bedrools for faster healing.

Easy way to 50 toughness if your below 10, is to climb into a fog man pole and have all of your limbs eaten off. If you have someone good at stealth and medic they can heal while you lose each limb. Ofcoarse replacement limbs are needed prior but they sell them in monger near fog men anyway. If you have a high toughness allready and have your limbs this is still a good toughness boost. I put phoenix in a pole and replaced all his limbs lol, he went from 80 toughness to 83! I use this for new recruits and works great, even better if you can knock out robot vendor and steal the limbs you need.

The game "SUPPOSEDLY" is supposed to get a Dojo Feature at some point to allow party training, but I'm losing faith that they'll do that.

IMO the best way to train anything is to just play it normally. Stats go up as you fight and play. I feel that something is lost if you try to "game" the stats too much, which a lot of players seem to prefer doing.

By the way, how does this work? You buy the limbs and just put them on like Armor?

[Howls@TheMoon]

Dolan- as soon as you loose a limb you'll see xXxX on that limb health bar and the limbs menu will be available in inventory screen. Click on limbs then right click on the robotic limb that goes there. (Left leg dead needs robotic left leg.) The best robotic limbs give pretty good buffs.

Loosing all of your limbs is a initiation into my faction, characters that survive get to join and travel with us. It's part of my story in the game :D I had fun with.
