And then, hit points is the absolute amount of 'health' you have, while hit die(dice) means the amount of DICES you've rolled to get there. Even if you've rolled 4d10 instead of 4d4 it's still four hitdie. Essentially hitdice is the same as the LEVELS of a creature. Sometimes, for balancing reasons, a critter gets some bonus hitdice, while still being the same 'level'. This is what is referred to in 'only creatures with x hitdice or less are affected'.
