Hit Points

From EQ KnowledgePit

[edit] General Information

Hit points (HP) are a measure of your raw ability to survive taking damage. If you have 12000 hit points and you take 3000 damage, you will have 9000 hit points left.

[edit] HP vs. AC

There is a long-standing argument among players. One side, mostly non-tanks (although there is a small group of tanks who still support this side) believe that more HP on an item automatically makes it a better items; the other side, however, looks at other stats, and believes that taking less damage and dealing more are better than simply having more HP, thus making other stats (such as AC, Shielding, or Avoidance) more useful than HP.
