Hit Points

Hit Points (also commonly known as HP) refers to how much 'life' any character has. Any damage taken is typically deducted from the hit point pool. When a non-player character reaches 0 hit points, they die. When a player character character reaches zero HP, they are knocked unconscious and a couple HP below zero HP, they die. An unconscious player character looks as though dead (lying flat), but may be moving due to inertia. If they regain at least 1 hit point, they are conscious again with no ill affects due to being previously unconscious.

Player character's and non-player character's automatically regenerate hit points. The regeneration rate is affected by various things such as level, spell effects, and worn items. This regeneration rate is substantially higher than it is in the live version of Everquest.
