hitpoints

Damage capacity remaining

Hitpoints are a numerical measure of health or vitality in video games and tabletop games.

When a character takes damage, they lose hitpoints; at zero, they're typically dead or incapacitated.

The term originated in Dungeons & Dragons and spread throughout gaming: I'm down to three hitpoints, That boss has massive hitpoints.

Often abbreviated HP.
