Health

The Health Bar is the Character's HP allotment in Darkest Dungeon. When a character runs out of HP, they will enter the Death's Door State.

Upon entering Death's Door for the first time during combat, a character's Stress Bar will increase and from that point onward, damage done has a relatively low chance of permanently killing off the character. The state can be cancelled out by healing a character.

Various class skills can heal hp during combat, but one Food is able to heal adventurers outside of combat.
