Hit Points are a measure of health. Each attack that "succeeds" against you reduces your hit points.

Damage is the amount of hit points subtracted from a target after a successful attack.

Armor Class is how much damage is subtracted/deflected from a successful hit. The percentage subtracted is your armor class multiplied by three.

Dexterity is how agile a person is, and relates to how often an attack will be successful.

SEEKER
Capabilities. These monstrous peculiarities have long been accepted as a natural phenomenon of Pagan, but the truth is that they resulted from early magical experiments, prior even to recorded history.

Therefore they spend most of their time lost and confused -- until they spot their victims.
