Hi,
I am a bit concerned that you can raise your hope/endurance only with using confidence/resilience (AB p.124 masteries).
You get only 5 raises in your life and why should I spend them for one of these two?

Did I miss something in the rules ?

For me a character should gain at least an small increase in endurance automatically because of his extremly "adventuring" lifestyle for years.

Maybe something like
Raise wisdom to 2/4/6 -> endurance also +1 each time
Something similar for hope would also be a great thing (wisdom 3 & 6 -> +1 each time), but this wouldn't be realistic in the fight against the Shadow ;-)

This will favour wisdom a lot, so maybe it should be divided between valour and wisdom

Another possibility could be, using the years of adventuring as guideline
-> every 2(4) years +1 to endurance(hope), but with a limit (max. +6(3))
