health
Health is the amount of punishment your avatar can sustain until he or she dies.
Health is the attribute of being mentally, socially, and physically able to act and react to varying situations. In EU, health is one of the most obvious physical attributes and is very important to one's ability to be effective for two reasons. The first is that higher maximum health allows one to take a bigger hit without dying. The second is that in EU hitpoints are regenerated every 20 seconds, and 1/20th of the maximum health is regenerated each time. That means that for example with 200 health maximum an avatar gets 10 HP back every 20 seconds, while with 100 health it gets just 5.
Hitpoints (health) are not gained in an integral fashion (not by +1 at a time). Each time an avatar gets a skill gain that influences health, a tiny fraction of a hit point is gained, as well. A notice is given when the avatar hit points reach the next integer value. This makes it difficult to know how much any specific skill affects health without chipping that skill in or out, because when an avatar skills multiple skills, many of them may be contributing to the health increase at a time.

health
Health is the amount of punishment your avatar can sustain until he or she dies.
Health is the attribute of being mentally, socially, and physically able to act and react to varying situations. In EU, health is one of the most obvious physical attributes and is very important to one's ability to be effective for two reasons. The first is that higher maximum health allows one to take a bigger hit without dying. The second is that in EU hitpoints are regenerated every 20 seconds, and 1/20th of the maximum health is regenerated each time. That means that for example with 200 health maximum an avatar gets 10 HP back every 20 seconds, while with 100 health it gets just 5.
Hitpoints (health) are not gained in an integral fashion (not by +1 at a time). Each time an avatar gets a skill gain that influences health, a tiny fraction of a hit point is gained, as well. A notice is given when the avatar hit points reach the next integer value. This makes it difficult to know how much any specific skill affects health without chipping that skill in or out, because when an avatar skills multiple skills, many of them may be contributing to the health increase at a time.
