Hide NPC HP

Yaourth, as it is now the players can only see the exact HP of creatures they control. Right now though there is no way to turn off the ability for players to see their exact HP nor to turn off the red shading to indicate the health of an NPC.

I don't believe this is a feature any of us has considered before nor has anybody suggested it to us. I can certainly see your use for it though and we will add it to the list of features we will consider adding to our next version.

 

Here is an idea on how to hide the current status of an NPC.

Set the max HP to 1, then set their current HP to their real HP total.

That way as they take damage no red line will appear until they are at 0 hp.

Now you could do something similar if you wanted to show damage when an NPC is under 25% HP.

Set their max HP to 25% of their real HP then set their current HP to their real max HP. that way it will seem like like they are not taking damage until they are really hurt.

 

This works really well with Bloodied conditions too (4E), where the creatures have a Bloodied state at 50% hp. Set max hp to 1/2 normal value, set current to the full.
