Bow damage Forumla

Post by Assassins Creed »

Hi all a humble n00b here,
was i right in remembering/seeing somewhere that there is a formula used to calculate the amount of damage you do with a bow (without sneak damage) so i can work out what i do with sneak damage.

Many thanks

i would think it is determined by your fatigue, unless u r a journeyman and pulling back the string doesnt fatigue u, but i would guess it is random :D from a set of distances

maybe this will help you

Damage = WeaponRating * (Fatigue/MaxFatigue + 1)/2 * SneakMultiplier * PowerAttackMultiplier * OpponentArmorRating * OpponentWeaponResistance

and

The WeaponRating (WR) for Bows is the WR for the Bow + the WR for the Arrow.

WR = BaseWeaponDamage * 0.5 * ( 0.75 + Attribute * 0.005 ) *
( 0.2 + ModifiedSkill * 0.015 ) * ( WeaponHealth/MaxWeaponHealth + 1 )/2

Chinese? i thought so!
