-{{:abilities:profuse_bleeding.png?nolink }} **Hit Points** (or "HP") are a measure of how easy you are to kill. At zero HP or lower, you are dead, at least at the end of the battle... unless you have one of those [[shapechanger|alternate forms]] or something.
+{{:abilities:profuse_bleeding.png?nolink }} **Hit Points** (or "HP") are a measure of how easy a unit is to kill. At zero HP or lower, it’s dead... unless it has the "Undying" [[bless]], or one of those [[shapechanger|alternate forms]], or something.
-Dominions uses both a hit-point system and an area-damage system for reflecting harm done to units. "Damage" generally refers to the loss of HP, though; [[Afflictions]] refer to the mangling and maligning of parts.  Damage can also refer to counters being added to the target, such as with "[[Fatigue]] Damage" or "[[Paralysis]] Damage", but no matter. Whether or not a hit causes an Affliction is largely determined by how much **<color #ed1c24>HP Damage</color>** it did, proportional to the target's maximum HP.

 Maximum HP also determines the strength of [[Regeneration]].

 Note how the [[Mindless]] (like Trees) generally have pretty high HP for their size. They can't go into shock due to pain, after all. The [[Undead]] are in a similar situation; except for the Longdead, anyway, which are "brittle" and can be knocked over into piles.
