Initial HP

At every level-up

Magicka points
Every time intelligence or magicka multiplier is modified

Fatigue

Encumbrance
Every time strength is modified

Comments
Resting allows all actors in the game to recover. There is a bug with interrupted sleep; the code only spawns the first creature it finds in the levelled list, as well as calculating the number of creatures incorrectly. interruptingCreatures should be 1 + roll iNumberCreatures, and that number of creatures should be spawned.

PC skill progress
When player receive point in the skill:

Levelling up
On level-up PC get 3 points to redistribute, bonus will be this:

where $$ is value of attribute counter

Skill increases
Based on research on leveling of the Alchemy skill (ref: http://openmw.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=853)

level_progress = the progress factor through a level (from 0 to 1).

level = current level of the skill.

skill_gain_factor = skill gain factor(s) that come from the skill records.
 * For alchemy only "Potion creation" (default value: 2.00) is used.
 * For other skills, please add alphabetically.

skill_type_GMST = value of the GMST corresponding skill type:
 * Major skill: GMST fMajorSkillBonus (default: 0.75)
 * Minor skill: GMST fMinorSkillBonus (default: 1.00)
 * Misc skill: GMST fMiscSkillBonus (default: 1.25)

specialisation_bonus = value of fSpecialSkillBonus (default: 0.80) when the Player has the same specialization as the skill or 1.00 if not.

On using player->setSkill

 * Experiments on Alchemy showed that using player->setAlchemy did change the alchemy level, but not the skill progress. Therefore, when lowering the alchemy level, the skill progress will be recalculated for that level en give a higher progress. When increasing the alchemy level, the reverse will happen, resulting in a lower skill progress.
 * To reset the progress, level first to the next level and then use player->setSkill to the target level.

Auto-calculated spells are selected at initial loading time. baseActor refers to the actor with attributes as loaded or auto-calculated, without any kind of spell effects (i.e. abilities) applied.

Note that when a spell school is past its limit, the weakest spell is removed, and a new weakest spell is selected. This may not be a spell from the same school as the limit. While this is undesired behaviour, fixing it is likely to cause a major difference from vanilla spell selection, which will not have been play tested. It's not recommend to fix this part at the moment.

This is first executed once the stat review menu appear, and then executed every time the player modifies their character. The spell list must therefore be cleared before selecting new spells.
