How do 5x attribute multipliers work in Morrowind?

Each level-up in Morrowind requires 10 skill increases in Major or Minor skills. To get a 5x multiplier in a governing attribute on level up, you need a combined 10 skill increases across skills governed by that attribute (including Major, Minor, and Miscellaneous skills) before sleeping. Miscellaneous skills do not advance character level, making them ideal for securing 5x multipliers without wasting character levels.

Is Health retroactive on level up in Morrowind?

No. Health gain on level up is strictly non-retroactive in vanilla Morrowind and OpenMW. It is calculated as Endurance / 10, keeping the fraction using your new Endurance attribute after the level-up is applied. Reaching 100 Endurance early yields significantly more total Health over the course of a playthrough.

Ten total Major or Minor skill increases earn a level-up. Miscellaneous skills are outside your class: raising them helps attribute bonuses without advancing that level counter. A ×5 bonus means +5 attribute points, not five times your attribute. Follow each step’s skill increases before resting to level up, then choose its three attribute increases. Raising Endurance earlier improves Health gains on later levels. Training costs are estimates.

How this is calculated

Each level requires 10 Major or Minor skill increases. When you level up, choose three attributes to raise.

Raising skills governed by an attribute increases its level-up bonus. All skills count toward that bonus, including Miscellaneous skills: 1–4 = 2×, 5–7 = 3×, 8–9 = 4×, and 10+ = 5×. With no skill increases, the attribute gains 1 point. Luck always gains 1.

Each level adds one tenth of your new Endurance to Health, keeping the fraction: Endurance / 10. Raising Endurance later does not give back Health missed at earlier levels or recalculate starting Health.

Mechanics Note: Endurance is prioritized first across all archetypes because Morrowind's level-up Health gain is non-retroactive. Stealth builds prioritize Strength over Speed as sneak attack multipliers scale directly with Strength.

Delayed means Endurance stays flat until level 20, then rises by 2 a level. Health gained at a level-up never updates later.
