Hit Points (HP) - determine how much damage a character can soak up before dying. You're dead if it reaches 0 or less. (HP = CON x 5 + 10)
Please note that once determined during the character creation phase, your character's HP will not be increased - unlike many other RPGs, there are no character progression levels and the HP value is static throughout the game. Consider your decisions carefully.
