Hit points measure how difficult a character is to incapacitate or kill . Intelligence measures memory, reasoning, and learning ability . Intelligence is the prime requisite for mages ; their skill and very survival hinges on learning and using their knowledge of magic . Wisdom measures a composite of judgment, enlightenment, will power, and intuition . Characters with wisdom of 7 or less are more susceptible to magical spells, while those with wisdom of 15 or greater have some resistance . Clerics with wisdom of 13 or greater receive extra spells (see the Cleric Wisdom Spell Bonus table on page 88) . Charisma measures personal magnetism, persuasiveness, and ability to assume command . Other Characteristics In addition to race, class, and ability scores, characters have several other characteristics that may change during the game : armor class, hit points, experience points, level, and alignment. Armor Class (AC) measures how difficult someone is to hit and damage ; the lower the armor class value, the harder they are to hit . Low armor class values can indicate different things . A character might be difficult to hit because he is outfitted with magical armor, while a monster might have the same armor class because it is small and fast. Armor class changes only 37 ~o when characters find and use new armor or shields . High dexterity improves a character's armor class . Hit points (HP) measure how difficult a character or opponent is to incapacitate or kill; higher values are better . Every time an attack gets past armor and defenses, it does damage that is subtracted from the target's hit points . If hit points reach zero, the character is unconscious. If hit points reach -10 or less, the character is dead . Experience Points (EXP or XP) measure how much a character has accomplished . You earn experience points for killing monsters, finding treasure, and completing parts of the adventure . Having prime requisite scores of 16 or greater increases experience earned by 10 .
