Tracking Health During a Battle

Hit Points

Hit points (HP) represent a character's or monster's life force. When a creature takes damage, its HP are reduced. When HP reach 0, the creature is unconscious and at risk of death.

Temporary Hit Points

Temporary hit points (Temp HP) are a special type of hit points that protect a creature from damage. They are lost before a creature's actual hit points are reduced.

Healing

Healing can restore hit points to a creature. The amount of healing depends on the spell or ability used. Some healing spells can restore hit points equal to the creature's maximum hit points.

New HP = Current HP + Healing - Damage

If Damage > Current HP + Temporary HP:

New HP = 0

Else if Damage > Temporary HP:

New HP = Current HP - (Damage - Temporary HP)

New Temporary HP = 0

Else:

New Temporary HP = Temporary HP - Damage

Common Battle Scenarios

Here are some common scenarios you might encounter during a D&D 5e battle and how to handle them using this calculator:

Taking Damage

When a character or monster takes damage, reduce their hit points accordingly. If they have temporary hit points, the damage is applied to those first.

Applying Healing

When a character or monster receives healing, increase their hit points. Healing cannot raise hit points above the maximum.

Gaining Temporary Hit Points

Some spells and abilities grant temporary hit points. These protect against damage but are lost before actual hit points are reduced.

Dropping to 0 Hit Points

When a creature's hit points reach 0, they are unconscious and at risk of death. They can be stabilized to prevent death or be revived with spells like Revivify or Raise Dead.

Advanced Features

This calculator includes several advanced features to help you track health during a battle:

Damage Types

The calculator accounts for different types of damage, such as slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning. Some creatures have resistances or immunities to certain damage types.

Critical Hits

When a creature scores a critical hit, the damage is doubled. The calculator can apply this multiplier to damage calculations.

Multiple Attacks

Some creatures can make multiple attacks in a round. The calculator allows you to track damage from multiple attacks in a single round.

Death Saves

When a creature reaches 0 hit points, they must make death saving throws. The calculator can track the number of successes and failures.
