Life is shown as a red orb in the lower left of the screen and will decrease as you receive damage. Characters die when they reach 0 life and must be resurrected in town. You can restore life by using flasks, gaining life regeneration from passive skills and equipment, or leeching life from enemies, among other mechanics. Life is fully restored when you enter a town. Light Radius is based off of current Life.

Every class starts out with 50 Life and have the following character stats {{#ask:

-Has subobject::Character
Has stat id::~*life*
[[Has stat value::>>0]]

}}

Calculation

Total maximum life can be calculated with the following formula:

Flat life bonuses are added directly to your base life (+X to maximum Life). Percent-based modifiers apply to flat life bonuses, as well as base life and life from strength (+X% increased maximum Life). See Modifiers.

Life Scaling

Life on Equipment

Life modifiers can appear on equipment as +X to maximum Life and/or X% increased maximum Life. Only +X to maximum Life can appear on magic and rare items, while unique items may also have the X% increased maximum Life modifier. Life can appear as a prefix on all magic and rare equipment except for weapons and flasks.

Life can also appear as an implicit modifier on the following base items:

Jewels cannot have +X to maximum Life affixes but can have a X% increased maximum Life prefix:

  • Vivid from 5 to 7% increased maximum Life

The +X to maximum Life modifier can appear in various amounts on different base types, with the maximum possible value determined by item level:

In addition, +X to maximum Life can be guaranteed on Body Armour, Helmets, Gloves, Boots, and Shields through the use of essences of Greed:

Exceptional Unique Items with Life

While the +X to maximum Life modifier is quite common on unique items, the X% increased maximum Life modifier is less common and can only appear on uniques. Certain unique items also grant +X to maximum Life in exceptional quantities or on weapons.
