====== Health (Hp) ======
//Hit Points// measures of how much [[dam|damage]] the player can take before dying. Hit points are determined from the player [[level]] and are influenced by the value of the character's 
[[con|CON]] according to the [[#CON Bonus to HP Table]] below. //Damage// taken directly removes current hp. //Hp// slowly regenerates according to [[characters:hp_regen|hp regen]] or the use of [[:items:potion:potionhea|Health Potions]] or similar [[:spells]]. //Max Hp// is the total number of //hp// a player can have for a given //CON// and //Level// .

===== Max Hp =====
The following formula describes what the maximum hp a player can have is

for characters at or below level 10
  Character's Level + (the Constitution Bonus (see CON bonus table below) x Character's Level)

for characters greater than level 10
  ((the Constitution Bonus (see CON bonus table below) x 10)) + ((Character's Level - 10) x 2) + 10
//note a players max hp can never be less than 1.//

For example, using the below table, a character with 20 CON at level 29 would have:

  max hp = (5 x 10) + (19 x 2) + 10
  max hp = 50 + 38 + 10
  max hp = 98 hp

Accordingly players will typically experience a rapid increase in max hp until level 11.

===From old handbook===
Hit points (Hp)
A character will gain the following number of Hp for each new overall level gained between levels 1-10:

(HpB)/2 + D4 + D4 + 1 + 1/every even level if HpB is even. 

Where D4 is a random number between 1 and 4 and you always get 1 hit point gained per level, regardless of HpBM. For levels after 10th, Hp grow 2 per level. The overall level provides the correct value for level in the calculation.
