Hit Points - Current HP/Maximum HP. When the first
number drops to 0, you are dead and the game is

Threshold (DT) for the armor you are currently
wearing. The different types of DR/DT are:

armor will have higher DR/DT in this type of
damage.
Fire - Damage from flamers and other sources of
heat.
Plasma - Damage from plasma weapons, which use
super-heated matter almost on the point of becoming
pure energy. Pretty advanced stuff.
Explode - Explosions of all types. Concussion
and blast damage.
AC is the negative modifier applied to people or
critters attacking you.
DT and DR are the amount of damage that the attack
is reduced by.

show damage, range, rounds left/maximum and the
type of ammo. Other items will have brief
descriptions of important information.

the bottom of the screen show your current total
