You are 100% as able to do Stuff after losing hp if still above 0 as you were before, and you recover in sporting event recovery times not in wound recovery times. I'd argue hit points are the biggest meta-currency in the history of RPGs.In most non-D&D games there's a death spiral. Apocalypse World avoids this but a PC who takes injury also rolls the Harm move; getting hurt has actual and unpredictable concrete consequences. And injury only heals naturally at up to 2 harm; 3 harm is stable, and 4-6 are various degrees of debilitated and dying.When you suffer harm, roll+harm suffered (after armor, if you’re wearing any). On a 10+, the MC can choose 1: <ul style="margin-left: 20px"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You’re out of action: unconscious, trapped, incoherent or panicked.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">It’s worse than it seemed. Take an additional 1-harm.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Choose 2 from the 7–9 list below.</li> </ul> On a 7–9, the MC can choose 1: <ul style="margin-left: 20px"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You lose your footing.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You lose your grip on whatever you’re holding.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You lose track of someone or something you’re attending to.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">You miss noticing something important.</li> </ul> On a miss, the MC can nevertheless choose something from the 7–9 list above. If she does, though, it’s instead of some of the harm you’re suffering, so you take -1harm.</blockquote>
