Obviously we need things that can reduce, and increase, health.

there should be a flag on locales to make it so you can only die in certain places. otherwise someone could have a rare head, get shot and then lose something super valuable at random (like if they're afk). maybe some items could be considered safe. or the items dropped from the pocket are random . or maybe you have a percentage chance of keeping some items after death. it could teleport you back to your turf afterwards like habitat.

Health field is now correctly stored on the avatar. "Status -> How healthy am I?" now returns a %age based on this field. (field is initialised to zero, health percentage is 100 - field) No other work yet done.
