what is level from lore perspective?

[Gamer3427]

I remember someone calculating back in the day how much HP real humans would have, and it's something like 12HP. But these were in D&D terms where getting punched dealt 0HP damage usually but instead dealt injury or subdual damage (think of Stamina Gauge from metal gear, how you can win boss fights by KO'ing them instead of killing them. I think it was something like a gunshot to the head would deal like 70 HP. Ou and 95% of humans would be, at best, level 2 commoners. The values/stats sere related to other significant animals/organisms i.e. Elephants had like 800 HP

Interesting, though as there are cases of humans getting shot to the head and surviving, how would you gauge that in terms of damage? Would it simply be a luck role that negated the majority of the damage from it, or would it be that said human had higher HP? Or a combination of the two?

EDIT: I would like to note that I'm not a D&D player, so my knowledge of mechanics within it is very rudimentary at best......
