Life (also named Health or Hit Points) is the main health source of a character or monster and it decreases when receiving damage; when it reaches 0% the entity dies. For characters it means that it must be resurrected in town or checkpoint, for monsters it means complete death and it can be only revived by other monsters, or by players as a minion. Players can recover life by using life flask, gaining life regeneration from passive skills and equipment, or leeching life from enemies. Life is also fully restored upon entering a town or hideout.
Mechanics
Base stats
Life starts at 28 for level 1 characters, before factoring additional life from levels or Strength.

- Taking Damage Damage is the process by which a player or monster's life or energy shield is reduced. Damage is always one of 5 damage types: physical, chaos, fire, cold or lightning. Damage can be mitigated or prevented by various defences. Damage can be: Damage over time (DoT) refers to damage which happens gradually over a duration instead of all at once. Hit damage is dealt instantaneously. Any damage that isn't damage over time is Hit damage.

Low life
Players or Monsters are considered to be on low life if they are at 35% of maximum life or lower.
