MWSE State-Based Health

This is a state-based health mod implemented in MWSE. Your health will now be calculated based on your current endurance, strength and level.

The formula is:

(strength + endurance) / 2 + (level - 1) fLevelUpHealthEndMult endurance

This is basically the same as the vanilla health formula, but based only on your current stats. You no longer need to start with endurance as high as possible, or increase it as quickly as possible, in order to maximize health. Any increases (or decreases) to endurance or strength will be immediately reflected in your new max health.

Health is calculated based on your current endurance and strength, not your "base" stats. This means anything that influences your end/str, such as any fortify or drain effects (or attribute damage) will influence your health accordingly. This makes Fortify Endurance (and, to a lesser extent, Fortify Strength) effects more useful because they will also increase your health. It also makes Drain or Damage End/Str effects more dangerous.

This mod respects the value of the fLevelUpHealthEndMult GMST. In vanilla Morrowind, this GMST is set to 0. 1, which means 1/10 of your endurance is added to your health for each level above level 1. If you're playing a mod that changes this GMST, the modded value will be used in health calculations.

It also takes into account any Fortify Health effects you're under, and whether you're using the Morrowind Code Patch feature that causes Fortify Health to affect max in addition to current health, so you'll have the correct health both before and after the Fortify Health effect wears off.

Configuration

There are three configurable settings in the Mod Config Menu. The first relates to how to handle changes to current health when you're not at full health.

By default, the mod will maintain the ratio of your current and max health. For example, if your health is currently 23/73 (a ratio of about 31. 5%), and your max health increases by 8 (say, because of a level increase), your health will now be about 25. 52/81, the same ratio. (Morrowind displays health as an integer, but it uses fractional values behind the scenes).

Note that this also takes into account any Fortify Health effect you're under. Fortify Health changes the ratio of current to max health. The ratio that's maintained is the ratio you would have if you weren't under a Fortify Health effect, so when the effect wears off, you'll have the same ratio as before.

However, if you prefer, you can configure the mod in the MCM to maintain the difference between your max and current health rather than the ratio. Using the above example (health 23/73 and your max health increases by 8), the difference is 50. When your max health increases to 81, your current health will be set to 31, maintaining that difference.
