Showing help on 'hp'

Type hp or status for your health and condition, each of your reserves (your body, and any power such as mana), and your active effects.
In the web client the status bar shows a meter for each, with the percent and condition as text. Alt+H reads your health, Alt+M your power reserves, Alt+V your body reserve, and Alt+T the health of what you are fighting. If your channel keys use the Dvorak right-hand scheme, Alt+H and Alt+T stay channel keys.
Preferences > Status turns each cue on or off: a heartbeat when your health changes band, a tone when a reserve moves, a blip when your target is hurt, a sound and a spoken line when an effect starts or ends, and spoken warnings when your health falls below 50, 25 and 10 percent.
In Mudlet, the Mongoose package offered when you connect gives the same Alt+H, Alt+M, Alt+V and Alt+T keys, read by your screen reader, with the same health warnings and effect lines.
In other telnet clients, @player-options +prompt shows a status line, ending in a telnet prompt marker, whenever your vitals change. @player-options -prompt turns it off.
