The internet had an argument.
Side 1: In D&D, hit-points represent meat points.
Side 2: No, they don't. Hit points are not meat points. They represent something totally different.
A timid confused person asks "Um, could someone please explain what meat points are?"
Side 1: Oh, you don't know what meat points are? They're just hit points.
Side 2: No they're not. We can't tell you what meat points are, but they're definitely not hit points.

#DnD #HP #MP@2something@transfem.social Ah yes, hit points. The only thing more contentious than alignment.
I am in the camp of chalking them up to cinematic plot armor points even after reading the arguments otherwise. I think MP are just nerds getting mad that their faux simulation is not simulatety enough and fail to understand two things:
1. games that do simulate accurate injury are generally tedious and boring
2. Narratively HP is a “hard problem”, and game writers are lazy and toss hard problems onto the GMs who have to make a real with whatever hand waved nonsense theyve put in.
