Health

During PvP, detailed information about your opponent's HP is obscured. This means you will not know the exact HP percentage an opponent has.^[1]

Health is a stat in Ashes of Creation.^[2]^[3]

If you are targeting another player specifically, another player not an NPC. If you're targeting another player and that player is not a member of your guild, alliance, raid, or party- those are the four affiliation factors. If they're not a part of those four groups you will not have specific information of their HP level. You will have quarters of information to their [HP] level and you may progress to get that a bit more granular, perhaps to sixths or eighths. You're not going to have exact information about what amount of hit points they have available to them. That level of obfuscation protects a bit of that engagement, that TTK interaction. So you might overshoot a target if you don't know exactly if they're down to their last 20% or 25%. That I think is a very healthy thing to have in PvP, but it is not a normal game design mechanic.^[4] – Steven Sharif

Players that are not in the same party, raid, alliance, or guild will not be able to see other player's exact health bar values or percentages.^[4]^[1]^[5]^[2]^[3] This information will instead be displayed in quarters. A player may be able to progress to see sixths or eighths.^[4]
- Previously it was stated that a player's name plate would deteriorate to give an indication of how much damage they have taken.^[2]^[3]^[6]

Stats in Ashes of Creation are derived from primary attributes (Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Mentality, Strength, and Wisdom) via a waterfall system.^[7]^[8]

A waterfall stat is a derivative of an attribute. So, if dexterity is your attribute stat and a waterfall from dexterity is critical rate, that would be considered a waterfall stat: the critical rate.^[8]

Base stats are defined by a character's primary archetype.^[17]
- These can be improved based on gear, tattoos, and other enhancements, such as socketed items.^[17]

Concentration will be a primary stat for spell casters.^[18]

There will be diminishing returns on certain stats, but there won't be hard caps.^[19]
