Rappelz/Levels/Hit points

Hitpoints
You can see the amount of HP your character has in the green bar in the left hand top corner of the window. If you see in the green bar something like:
 * 1270/1470

it means that your character has 1270 HP of the maximum of 1470 hitpoints it could have.

Loose hitpoints
Your character will loose HP when:
 * it takes damage when it is attacked by monsters.
 * it takes damage when it is attacked by other players.

Gain hitpoints
Your character will gain HP when:
 * it is standing, running, etc.
 * it is sitting (faster than standing),
 * it drinks a healing potion, see items.
 * it is target of a healing spell, see skills.

Death
If your character reaches 0 HP it dies. If it dies it looses EXP with is good and bad:
 * bad because in order to regain this EXP you have to kill additional monsters but
 * good because it doesn't loose JP when it dies. So after killing those additional monsters your character ends up with a better JP/EXP ratio. This makes the next battles a little easier.
