What do you call HP?

Lifted off Reddit today.

1) HP is HP and that's OK.
2) "Health" (as in, "I only have 2 health left").
3) Health Points - I think the official designation.
4) Hit Points - Around since D&D wormed its way into videogames.
5) Heart Points - Only if you're playing Zelda.
6) Harry Potter - Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite.

I'm used to calling it Hit Points, even thought Health Points is probably more accurate; Hit Points kind of implies that the only way you lose health is by getting lamped with something.

That and Howard Phillips were going to be in the poll before I decided I genuinely wanted to know other people's opinion.

To be honest, I've probably used all of those at some point... Except Heart Points, that's just weird, even in Zelda.

Health when I refer to what my character currently has (ie I'm low on health), HP when its a a bonus (this ring give me +50% HP).

Of all the game that use lovecraftian setting, I wonder if any of them ever made a pun using HP?

Life, as in when you run out of life, you die.

Idk about you but where I grew up its steak sauce.


But anyhow, Hit Points, I don't recall which particular game I originated that in.

I think I use "Health" and "HP" interchangeably.

I need to give that stuff another shot. I tried it when I was like 8 and didn’t like it. My grown up palette needs to make a reevaluation.

I always preferred saying Health Meters, Health Bars, or Life Bars.

Probably just HP, health or life. I don't consider this a significant enough part of my life to care what others think.

Now that my HP sauce joke has been done already,

For PnP it would be Hitpoints or HP, or wounds as it's usually a number.

For computers games, health as it's just a big bar that depletes

One thing I know is Malenia has too many HP, and the fact she so nonchalantly regains it has me thinking about respec’ing to use the big blue laser. If it was just one phase no biggie but she can get bent on her 2nd phase rot bs. This fight really wet farts in melee builds’ faces even with my mimic chunking out her HP.
