Actually, that will make him lose 0-19hp. You need int(rand(21)) to generate an integer in 0-20. 

sub reduce_hp {
    my ($hp) = @_;
    $hp -= int(rand(21));
    return $hp;
}

my $char_hp = 400;
$char_hp = reduce_hp($char_hp);
print("Character now has $char_hp hp\n");

or maybe 
sub reduce_hp {
    my ($hp) = @_;
    $hp -= int(rand(21));
    $_[0] = $hp;
}

my $char_hp = 400;
reduce_hp($char_hp);
print("Character now has $char_hp hp\n");

It's a rather useless function, though. It simply shifted code without adding value.
