	Hit point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hit points, also known as health points, damage points, life points, or just health (and countless other synonyms), are points used to determine a character's health and show how much damage attacks deal in role-playing games, computer and video games and wargames.
		In some games, hit points are determined by the type and strength of the attack, and when an attack succeeds hit points are deducted from the target's remaining supply.
		Some games use a life bar in order to graphically represent hit points remaining, such as Pokemon (where enemy monsters' HP are shown only as a bar) and in fighting games.

	Hit point - Doom Wiki
		Hit points are an abstraction for the amount of damage a monster or player can take before dying.
		When an attack succeeds, some number of hit points (determined by the type of attack and a random number) are deducted from the target's remaining supply.
		Losing hit points has little effect (other than on the player's face in the status bar) until a target reaches zero hit points, at which point it dies.

	Critical hit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term is referred to the effect of hitting an artery or finding a weak point, the basic idea being that if you stab some one in the leg it will do less damage than if you luck out and stab them in the achilles tendon.
		In games that this rule is present, higher Hit Points are often symbolic of the characters' own ability to avoid crippling or disabling damage, not of their actual fortitude.
		The negative counterpart of the critical hit is the critical miss or critical fumble or critical failure, a concept that is less frequently borrowed than that of critical hits.

	Hit point - RPGnetWiki
		Hit points are a common game mechanic for tracking damage.
		In games which use hit points, a character has a certain number of hit points when she is at full health as determined by various game-specific factors such as class and level.
		Hit points are used by Dungeons and Dragons and most d20 System games, among others.

	The Justification Of The Hit Point System
		It would be at this time, after being reduced to their actual hit points of their first hit dice, that the arrow actually pierced their skin, the dagger really cut their throat, or the fire managed to badly burn them.
		Only when their hit points are reduced to the realm of their first hit dice will these wounds become greatly physical and therefore something more in the realm of our everyday experiences.
		My point is simply that as a matter of game balance, the classes have been built in such a fashion that would seem to support their playability during the years of play testing.

	A DETAILED LOOK AT HIT POINTS
		The math simply points out what is happening and how one may perceive their character's hit points and injuries and healing spells or even natural healing.
		This knowledge will allow you to visualize hit points and injuries better and see how they are perhaps more realistic than you thought, but in actual practice, you never actually need to do any of these calculations during a game for anything, or even at anytime after you are done reading this.
		Then, only after a character's hit points surpassed his or her first hit dice worth of hit points and thus be completely healed (physically) would their vast reservoir of quasi-hit points begin to accumulate.

	FF: Hit Point Track
		When a character takes damage, a number of checks are marked on the hit point track, starting from Terrible and moving up through the circled level on the hit point track of the character's damage capacity attribute.
		Finally, when a character takes enough damage to place his hit point track at the same level as his damage capacity attribute, that character is at -2 to all actions.
		When a character takes enough damage to place his hit point track at the level prior to his damage capacity attribute, the character is at -1 to all actions.

		Instead, when a character's subdual damage equals a character's current hit points, the character is staggered, and when it exceeds a character's current hit points, the character goes unconscious.

	Hit Points (Wound and Vitality)
		At each level (or hit die) a creature rolls his hit die and adds the result plus his Constitution modifier (with a minimum of one) points to his vitality point total.
		Damage to wound points is generally done after all vitality points have been removed by damage or by criticals.
		When a creature has taken more wound damage than it has wound points, it falls unconscious and is dying, taking another point of dying damage each round until a DC 15 Fortitude save is made or the dying damage exceeds dying points and the creature dies.

	Combat Injury and Death
		A 10th-level fighter who has taken 50 points of damage may be about as physically hurt as a 10th-level wizard who has taken 30 points of damage, the 1st-level fighter who has taken 5 points of damage, or the 1st-level wizard who has taken 3.
		Higher-level characters recover lost hit points faster than lower-level characters because they’re tougher, and also because a given number of lost hit points represents a lighter wound for a higher-level character.
		When the temporary hit points go away, such as at the end of the aid spell, the character’s hit points drop to that score.

		The grim weekly toll of brutal assaults, violent protests, suicides and escapes inside Britain's beleaguered prisons is rising sharply, according to internal Home Office security reports leaked to the Guardian as inmate numbers hit a new record this weekend.
		The scale of unrest is revealed as the prison population hit a new record of 73,379 on Friday - and is rising at the rate of 150 a week - amid growing fears that the jails are becoming increasingly volatile.
		Harry Fletcher, of the probation officers' union, Napo, said the reports showed the number of incidents had soared in recent years: "This is clearly linked to overcrowding and the ability of staff to cope.

		Hit Points: a character's HP do not increase as quickly as in the core rules.
		This puts the emphasis on avoiding being hit rather than having enough hit points to absorb damage.
		The problem is that, unmodified, damaging spells do way too much damage: if a typical 20th-level D&D fighter has 35 hit points, a typical 10th-level wizard's fireball will likely take that fighter out in one shot.

		After learning before the game that Armando Rios will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, the Pirates were held to one hit over seven innings by Kirk Rueter and managed just three singles in a 3-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants, which dropped them 25 games under.500.
		Kent also drove in an unearned run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh after shortstop Jack Wilson made his first error since July 3 and only his second since he was recalled from Nashville June 12.
