It may increase even beyond that from the effects of various [[powerup]]s to as high as 200 percent (199 in versions prior to [[Versions of Doom and Doom II#v1.2|1.2]]). It is decreased by environmental hazards ([[damaging floor]]s, exploding [[barrel]]s, and [[crushing ceiling]]s), and successful enemy attacks. If a player's health ever drops to zero, that player dies. |
The player's current health is shown on the [[status bar]], both numerically, as a percentage of the character's full normal health, and graphically, by the condition of the character's [[status bar face|face]]. | The player's current health is shown on the [[status bar]], both numerically, as a percentage of the character's full normal health, and graphically, by the condition of the character's [[status bar face|face]]. | ||

+ | A starting player has a health of 100 hit points, and can increase it to 200. The [[armor]] effect is comparable in raising the health by half, and the [[megaarmor]] by doubling it. For example, a player with 200 of health and megaarmor can withstand any damage less than a total of 400 hit points. | ||
