Hit points: your health, and how you get it back.
HP is short for hit points: your health. When they reach zero you are knocked out, and if they keep dropping you die (see HELP DEATH).
Your maximum hit points depend on your level, your class, your Constitution, racial traits and equipment bonuses. They are recalculated whenever any of these change.
Getting your hit points back depends on what you are:
- Most characters REST or SLEEP, and eat food of their level while resting.
- Constructs do not heal by resting or eating: type REPAIR (HELP REPAIR).
- Undead and oozes do not benefit from food or drink.
- Anyone can be healed by a spell, a song or a potion.
The game also finds it under: hp, hit points, hitpoints, health, life, recovery, regain hp, heal myself, regeneration rate.
