Health Health

The endurance, or life (or hit points) of a character.

A character that reaches zero Health has fallen. Fallen creatures do not disappear from the battlefield, thus allowing allies to revive a fallen comrade.

The heroes start each battle at full Health, with few exceptions (such as the case of traps).
