Hit points的意思

"Hit points" (HP) is a term commonly used in role-playing games (RPGs), tabletop wargames, and video games, particularly in the fantasy genre. It is a measure of a character or object's health, vitality, or durability. When a character or object takes damage, it reduces its hit points. Once a character's hit points reach zero or below, the character is typically considered incapacitated or dead, depending on the rules of the game.

The exact mechanics and significance of hit points can vary widely between different games. In some games, hit points might represent physical health and endurance, while in others, they might also include luck, skill, or magical defenses. In video games, hit points are often displayed as a numerical value or as a health bar, which depletes as the character takes damage and can be restored through various means, such as healing items or spells.

The concept of hit points has its roots in early tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons, which popularized the use of hit points in RPGs and has since been adopted by many other games across different media.
