Hit Points

Hit Points are a measure of a Characters physical health and endurance reserves. A character with high Hit Points is healthy, hale and can survive combat or accidental wounds without risk of death. A character with low Hit Points is injured, nursing wounds, and may be near death if forced into combat or caught in an accident. A character's maximum Hit Points are equal to the following equation. Regardless of the character's attributes, a character has a minimum number of Hit Points of 100. Ship captains have a slightly better Hit Point equation with 120 minimum Hit Points.

For crew and officers:"Hit Points = 100 OR ((Fortitude x 3.5) + (Strength x 2)) whichever is larger."For Star Trader captains:"Hit Points = 120 OR [((Fortitude x 3.5) + (Strength x 2)) * 1.2] whichever is larger."
