So its the amount of points I can hit people with?
>>
>>345167421
I know it's always called "hit points", but it's been engraved into my brain as "health points".

Who the fuck calls them hit points? That implies that your combat is dependent on this stat.

I just call it a "Health Bar" or "meter" or "Health Resource" or whatever seems the most appropriate for the scenario.
