Health Points (or HP) are a measure of a character’s very life force. Their decline could be due to all sorts of physical problems: injuries, disease, old scars, etc. Simply put, Health Points represent how much "life" the character still possesses. When health reaches zero, the character is dead.
Most characters starts out the game with 30 Health Points. More or less life can be gained through magic and trumps and faults, however all nearly-human-sized beings are born with the same vitality, more or less. Damage in combat lessens the character’s remaining HP. Like we said before, when a character reaches zero life, it's curtains, hear? Curtains!
For more information about how to lose or gain health, see the Life and Death chapter.
