Very High Weight marks a heavily overweight character with reduced running speed, very low endurance and a body prone to injury. It lowers Fitness by two levels and caps it at level 8.
It is a body weight trait. The game gives it when weight reaches 100 or more. Long stretches of eating far more calories than the body burns lead here. It is a sign that the character should eat lighter and exercise more.
Very High Weight Effects
Fitness drops by two levels and stays capped at level 8 while the trait lasts. Running speed and endurance both suffer.
Endurance recovers at about two fifths of the usual speed. After a fight or a run, the character stays winded for a long time.
Tripping becomes more likely. Vaulting a low fence while running or sprinting carries a bigger risk of a fall. Lunging zombies knock the character down more easily.
Climbing is harder too. Sheet Rope climbs are much slower, and falls from tall fences are far more likely. Falls also do about a fifth more damage.

Picking Very High Weight
Very High Weight is never picked by choice. It clashes with Athletic, Fit, Light Eater, Emaciated and the other weight traits.
The fix is steady weight loss. Eating lighter meals and letting the character get hungry from time to time brings weight down. Exercise burns more calories and speeds things up.
Once weight drops below 100, the trait gives way to High Weight. Further loss brings the character back to a normal weight.

- Appears at a weight of 100 or more.
