FosterBear Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Does skill level have any effect on damage relating to weapons or magic? Or, is it only used to unlock perks? Level seems to definitely effect skills in crafting such as smithing and alchemy. Soooooooo, does a level 10 one handed and a level 70 cause the same damage, ignoring perks?

Hyacathusarullistad Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Skill level is factored into combat, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Garon Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Skill level affects damage. Here is a snippet on how damage is calculated, from the UESP Wiki: displayed damage = (base damage + smithing increase) * (1 + 0.5 * skill/100) * (1 + perk effects) * (1 + item effects) The "skill" variable is your character's weapon skill.
