Set Health (player->SetHealth)
morrowind — Console Commands
Sets the player's current health to a specified value, useful for healing or testing damage.
Syntax
player->SetHealth [value]
Example

💡 Notes
Value is clamped to maximum health; use player->ModHealth for relative changes. Works in Tribunal and Bloodmoon.
🎯 Tips & Tricks
Quick heal
Type player->SetHealth 1000 to fully heal without waiting.
Test damage
Set health to 1, then attack to see how much damage you take.
Combine with other commands
Use with player->SetMagicka and player->SetFatigue for full stat reset.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Health resets after loading
Reapply the command after each load; it's not permanent.
