Understanding the weapon damage formula

[obmike]

I need some assistance understanding how the damage formula works as it pertains to weapons. I downloaded a weapon mod last nite and looked at it in the Construction Set and it's damage was set to something like 32, but in-game the damage is shown to only be around 16 which is approx half of what it shows in the Construction Set so my question is how does the weapon damage formula work to come up with these numbers ?

 

So I do not sound like a total noob, I realize it has something to do with the player level and the skill level you have for that weapon type, but that really doesn't help much in determining the damage unless you know how the formula works which I do not and hope someone here might be able to assist me in this area.

 

If it helps, these are the stats for the player I am currently using:

 

Level 13

Blade: 41

 

Thanks,

Obmike

I was actually on that page when I posted this but did not really notice the BASE DAMAGE formula which is what I was looking for until just now. I guess 2 cups of coffee is not enough to wake me up today :/

 

Thx,
