The Monsters HP 32000 Is there a limit? :

Well i havent tried myself increasing it more than 32000, but when the value is exceeds 5 digits it will make your mobs unhittable.

You can also increase the 'Absorption' dramatically, then it will be similar to higher hp..

That suggests the actual limit is 32767. Stored as a 16bit signed integer 32768 is -32768 with an overflow into the "sign bit". (the highest bit in the 16bit word)

If overflow is accounted for on the signed number, subtracting hit points from a negative number, and comparing against zero will always return "false" which, in this instance, means "not dead yet". XD

If it where unsigned, the limit would be 65535, but then I would have no explanation for the "invincibility" "feature". If it where even 24-bit, the limit would not be 5 digits. 17 is the minimum number of bits required to store the unsigned decimal number 100000, and that would be *extremely* "exotic".

"Digital Principals" it makes sense of everything in computers.
