Combat
Hitpoints
In use
How much harm a body can hold before it stops.
What it governs
- It starts at ten: the one thing a citizen is given, not earned.Charter, Part II — Combat group
- Trained by being in fights, never by training. There is no exercise for it.
- The level is the capacity for wounds; at zero a body dies, for good.
- Wounds heal with time since the last one, and food does the rest.
- No hunger clock counts a citizen down to death; food is healing and safety.
- Sickness weakens but never kills alone, only in combination.
What happens today
Wounds heal on a clock; a whole one kills for good. Fire burns, water drowns.
What opens, and when
The charter gives Hitpoints no ladder and no levels.
Not yet
Falls. Nothing yet hurts a body that drops from a height.
