How is weapon damage calculated in Oblivion?

Weapon damage in Oblivion is calculated using several factors: base weapon damage, character attributes (Strength for melee, Agility for bows), weapon skill level, weapon condition, fatigue level, and critical hit multipliers. The formula used is:

Final Damage = Weapon Rating × Fatigue Modifier × Critical Hit Multiplier × Armor Reduction

The Weapon Rating itself depends on base damage, attributes, skills, and weapon condition.

Our Oblivion Damage Calculator handles all these calculations automatically to give you accurate results.

How do sneak attacks work in Oblivion?

Sneak attacks in Oblivion provide significant damage multipliers when you attack undetected enemies. These multipliers vary by weapon type and skill level:

Blade weapons: 2× to 6× damage (higher with higher skill)
Blunt weapons: 1.25× to 3× damage
Bows: 2× to 3× damage

To perform a sneak attack, you must remain undetected (eye icon closed) when attacking.

Does armor affect spell damage in Oblivion?

No, armor rating does not affect spell damage in Oblivion. Spell damage is reduced by:

Magic Resistance (affects all spell damage)
Elemental Resistances (specific to fire, frost, or shock)
Spell Absorption (chance to absorb the spell instead of taking damage)

Conversely, spell damage can be increased if the target has a weakness to magic or a specific element.

How does weapon condition affect damage in Oblivion?

Weapon condition directly affects your weapon's damage output. As a weapon's condition deteriorates, its effective damage decreases proportionally.

At 100% condition, your weapon deals full damage. At 50% condition, your weapon's effectiveness is significantly reduced. A weapon at very low condition (below 25%) will deal drastically reduced damage.

It's recommended to repair your weapons regularly using repair hammers or by visiting blacksmiths in towns.

What's the difference between magic damage and elemental damage?

In Oblivion, there are two layers of magical damage types:

Magic damage: The base type for all spell damage. Magic resistance affects all magical damage types.
Elemental damage: Specific subtypes including fire, frost, and shock. These are affected by both magic resistance AND their specific elemental resistance.

This means elemental spells have to overcome two layers of potential resistance, while pure magic damage only needs to overcome magic resistance.

How accurate is this Oblivion Damage Calculator?

This calculator uses the official damage formulas from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion as documented by the UESP (Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages) wiki. It provides highly accurate calculations that match in-game results under controlled conditions.

However, some in-game factors like enemy-specific properties, certain magic effects, or unique weapon properties might cause slight variations. The Oblivion Damage Calculator provides an excellent baseline for understanding and optimizing your combat strategy.
