Hit Points

Hit Points (or HP) define the amount of damage your character can take before dying.

When your hit points reach 0 or below, you fall on the ground knocked down, which means you can only whisper. While knocked down you are unable to do anything. When your HP goes to -20 you will die, but if not in combat, your HP will regenerate every 2 minutes allowing your character to stand back up when it reaches 1 or above.

Hit Points Regeneration

You can get back your hit points using:

• Hit points regenerate every 2 minutes by amount of Healing Rate
• A stimpak (+10-40hp), weak healing powder, healing powder (up to +20 hp), or a Super Stimpak - take care about the drugs inconveniences first, though.
• Your First Aid skill, that will heal you depending on the amount of skill points in the skill, with a cooldown if you use it (With 200% for example, you'll heal your target for up to 200 hit points). The average amount you can heal at a time is based on your Luck. The First Aid skill will award you 3xp for each hit point healed.
• You can ask Wasteland Doctor to heal you for caps.

Maximum Hit Points

The base maximum hit points formula is 55 + Strength + (2 * Endurance).

Additionally, you will be awarded more hit points as you level up.

Endurance	Hit points per level
1	2 every other level
2	1
3	3 every other level
4	2
5	4 every other level
6	3
7	5 every other level
8	4
9	6 every other level
10	5

Lifegiver Bonus

Each Lifegiver perk will grant you an added number of hit points. Because you can take it three times, the final bonus can be +90 hit points.

Implants

There is a small chance to find Nemean Armor implants which can be added to a character up to twice, via irreversible surgery done by a doctor in San Francisco. Implant surgeries costs 100k caps per implant, and permanently add 20 Hit Points to that character, per implant.
