General RPG question

[OppiumNitrates]

I have been reading alot about Morrowind latly and i keep seeing "NPC's"
i think i know what they are. . . . but not sure

i think they are AI controlled players(excluding monsters, animals, exc.)

am i right??
and what do the letters NPC stand for

Yup, you've got it right. NPC stands for Non-Playable Character, meaning its a character thats there just to interact with, like the people that stand around town and sell you equipment, give you info, etc. etc.

non-playable of course

What does MP and HP stand for?

I have heard Magic Points and Mana Points, and I have heard Hit Points and Health Points. Which is it?

[OppiumNitrates]

probly both since they mean the same

mana points = majik points

and

health points = hit points
