Changes: Health

Revision as of 08:44, 22 September 2019

The health bar displayed in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

For item health, see Durability.

Health represents the total amount of damage an entity can take before dying. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind suggests that health also affects the ability to resist disease, but this is untrue for other titles.

Referred to as Hit Points (HP) in most games, it is vitally important for the player to keep track of his or her health score. Should the health pool reach zero or below, the entity is dead. Essential Characters cannot be killed, so they become incapacitated when their health reaches zero or below.

Health increases with each level gained, when certain items are equipped, and if certain spells are currently active. Non-player entities have Health equivalent to their level and items. Health can be restored through magic, consumption of potions and beverages, or by leveling up. Fast traveling and waiting fully restores health.

In most Elder Scrolls games, one's total base Health is equal to twice their Endurance attribute. In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, because all attributes have been removed, the player must choose between increasing health, magicka, or stamina themselves every time they level up.

-The amount of health that a character has depends on their level in the game, and their [[Endurance|endurance]] measure. Your overall health capacity will increase each time your character levels up by 1/10 of your character's Endurance measure, rounded down to the nearest whole integer figure.

-A character loses health when it receives damage; this usually happens during combat with another character or creature, when encountering dangerous foliage in the Realms of Oblivion, or when traversing dangerous terrain in a careless manner (i.e., jumping from cliffs or ledges, etc). The red bar in the lower left corner of the screen displays your current health status.
