==Explanation of the term==
Effective hit points also known as EHP is a slang term used to describe how much damage can be absorbed after all damage mitigation sources have been calculated.


*Effective hit points also known as EHP is a slang term used to describe how much damage your character can survive. The term hit points is a word for life and energy shield.
==Sources==


==Math==
The following can raise your total effective hit points:
* [[Energy shield]]
* [[Life]]
* Some game mechanics allow [[Mana]] to increase your effective hit points. For example [[Mind over matter]].


*Calculating your EHP
==Terminology==


*Add up all additive [[stats]] on your defensive layers first so that they are ready to be multiplied. Most additive [[stats]] come from {{c|mod|increased}} and {{c|mod|reduced}}, but there are exceptions to this rule.<ref name="ActionSpeed"/>.
Effective hit points may be referred to colloquially as how much damage you can take from a single hit after reduced damage has been calculated. For the purposes of this wiki, this definition is not used. Damage mitigation is calculated or described elsewhere on this wiki.


*All of these defensive layers can be calculated with the same formula - Dodge, Block, Evade, Blind, resists, Less/reduced Damage from hits, Lower monster action speed (when facetanking), avoid, lower enemy accuracy, lower enemy damage, physical damage reduction and resistances.
==See also==


*Formula - Minus the % from the defensive layer from 100. Then divide 100 by the answer.
Effective hit points is one of many [[Defense mechanics]].
 
===Example===
 
*75% attack Block ( 100 - 75 = 25) (100 / 25 = 4)
 
** 75% attack Block gives you 4 times EHP against attacks that hit.
 
**All layers are multiplied separately as if they were "more" [[stats]]. This means a character with 4 times EHP would go to 8 times EHP by adding blind which is a 50% enemy chance to miss.
 
==Advanced Math==
 
This formula is not advanced on purpose to make it easy to understand. It does not cover all possible mechanics of defense.
 
See [[Receiving damage]] for more advanced formulas.
