Health

here's an attr.cfg extract:

health 100 
fallDamage 1.0 
regen 0.0

in it we see:

health how many hp the form have (note that this doesn't work for humans as of 0.52.1)
fallDamage how much hp is lost when falling. 1.0 is "as much as a normal human". Note that it is also affected by armor if armor is worn ("nonloc" damage)
regen how many hp/second are recovered when the creature hasn't been hurt for some time

Movement and mass parameters

here's an attr.cfg extract:

// Physics parameters
speed 1.1
sprintMod 1.2
acceleration 10.0
airAcceleration 1.0 
friction 7 
stopSpeed 100.0
jumpMagnitude 170.0

in it we see:

speed the maximum speed (relative: 1.0 is the speed of a naked human)
sprintMod (only makes sense for humans) how much sprinting accelerates (relative: 2.0 is the double of the normal speed)
acceleration how fast can you change speed while touching the ground
airAcceleration how fast can you change speed while in the air: you'll notice that a marauder can easily change direction on the ground, but has more trouble steering in the air.
friction how fast is speed lost. Note that if it is high (in the hundreds), it will actually limit your max speed noticeably.
stopSpeed means the speed under which the speed will be set to 0.
jumpMagnitude is how high you can jump.
