The Hit Point (HP) value is a numerical representation of the physical punishment a character can endure.
If a character's HP drops to zero, the character falls Prone (though he may subsequently stand up) and all actions cost double AP as long as his HP remains at 0.
A character with negative HP is Unconscious and Dying.
A character is Dead when his HP reaches (0 - his Endurance score).
You gain back a number of hit points equal to your level when you take a full night of rest (8 hours or more). Less than 8 hours or any significant interruption prevents you from gaining back HP.
A full day and night of bed rest allows you to regain your level + your Endurance in HP.
Determining Hit Points
| Ability | Hit Dice Worth |
|---|---|
| Strength | d10 |
| Endurance | d12 |
| Agility | d6 |
| Speed | d8 |
| Intellect | d4 |
| Willpower | d6 |
| Intuition | d6 |
| Charisma | d4 |
A character's hit points are determined by adding together the following:
- The best hit die among the character's Primary Abilities.
- The character's Endurance multiplied by his level.
For example, a level three character with a 4 Endurance and Speed as a Primary Ability has hit points equal to 3d8 + 12.
Hit dice are not recomputed retroactively. If a character first specializes in Intellect and then in Strength, the character only gains the better hit die granted by Strength for levels gained after Strength becomes a Primary Ability.
On the flipside, the Hit Points a character gains from Endurance are computed retroactively. A character's total Hit Points will always equal the HP he has gained from Hit Dice plus his Endurance score multiplied by his level.
- Hit Dice + (Endurance • Level)
This means that if a character increases his Endurance through leveling up or through magic, his total Hit Points will increase as well. This also means that if a character's Endurance score is damaged, his health can drop rapidly.
