HP and MP. What do they stand for?

[crono_logical]

I think of them as hit points and magic points.

Same for me, unless the game mentions otherwise, eg mana or in some cases, movement

[Ouch!]

Health Points/Magic Points.

Health points/Magic points

[Ryth]

Hit Points and Magic Power.

Hit Points and Meat Puppet.

From now on MP means Meat Puppet, whenever I see it, thanks for that haha

But normally I think HP = Hit points, and your hit points are equal to your total Health, and MP is your magic points and your magic points are equal to your total mana

IE your Health has 1074 hit points(HP), and your Mana has 265 magic points (MP)

I think of them as Hit Points and Magic Points, since those are the correct labels unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Yeah this guy knows the truth.

hit points and magic points

[Mirage]

Health points and mana points. Definitely not magic power, cause that's an entirely different stat.

[Sunny Day Suicide]

Depends on the game. Some games use Mana points, others don't.

[Madame Adequate]

Hit Points and Magic Points, quite blatantly.

I used to think Horse Power.
But I think it's Health Points. And Mana Points.

I just think HP and MP..... things get complicated when you try to understand what they stand for. And just when you think you have a grasp of the situation... they add in SP and TP...

That aside.... there are a million different things that are abreviated HP... including printers, engine sizes, and the odd death points you return to when incapacitated.....

[I Took the Red Pill]

Hit Points/Magic Points, naturally.
