Health
From FullPlate
Health is divided into several elements - Hit Dice, Hit Dice Size, Health, Vitality, HP and VP.
Hit Dice
This is the total amount of Levels or Hit-Dice the character has, regardless of how many Hit Points they currently possess. A modifier after this adjusts the total number of HP the character has.
Every 3 additional HP received from Hit-Dice increases the character's effective Level for Saves and THAC0 by 1.
