Health 
(also known as health points, hit points, or HP) is one of three Vitals in Outward, represented by the red circular bar in the bottom left corner of screen.
Description[]
Starting with a base maximum of 100, Health represents the amount of damage one can take before receiving a defeat scenario. Characters can regain health in number of ways, including consuming certain food, potions, and resting. Health does not regenerate over time naturally. Maximum health can be decreased and increased permanently on any characters through the Leyline found in Conflux Chambers and a variety of Skills.
Healing[]
Health does not regenerate on its own. Health can be restored directly, or through regeneration-over-time effects.

Burnt Health[]
Burnt health is taken away from a player's maximum health, resulting in a smaller available pool of health. Burnt Health is indicated by the dark-red portion of the health bar.
By default, 10% of damage taken in combat is lost as burnt health, and a player will commonly lose more burnt health from Defeat Scenarios.
The player can restore or affect their burnt Health through the following methods:
