Health
Your Health Point Bank serves as the primary pool of points from which damage is subtracted.
Damage is first subtracted from your Shield Point Bank. If your Shield reaches or is at 0, then all remaining damage is subtracted from your Health. If your Health reaches or is at 0, then any remaining damage causes you to lose one Vitality Point. Losing a Vitality Point inflicts a Wound. If your Health and Vitality both reach zero, then you die.
You can attempt to Dodge an incoming attack, provided that you have points for it.
