Health bonus
From DoomWiki.org
A health bonus (or health potion) is a powerup that appears as a small blue bottle. Picking one up increases the player's health by 1% up to a maximum of 200%.
Health bonuses are included in the items percentage displayed at the end of each level.

Notes
- Health bonuses are worth 2% in many ports, including the Sega 32X and Sony PlayStation editions.
- The upper limit of 200% can be altered with DeHackEd.
- In Doom RPG, the health bonus is called a health vial. It increases the player's health by 4 units.
- After the score system was removed following the Doom press release beta, demonic daggers functioned as health bonuses at one point in development, as seen during a visit to id Software.
