Quick question about Stealth Backstab Bonus : V

» Thu Nov 01, 2012 5:36 pm

If I have the 15x backstab perk and a dagger that does 20 damage and 30 fire damage, what is the damage when I successfully backstab someone?

Is it 750 or 330?

(20+30) * 15 = 750
20 * 15 + 30 = 330

330 poison and enchant damage is not included. However the displayed weapon damage is used so tempering, +damage% enchant on equipment and potions will increase this damage.
An +25% one hand damage ring and a +25% potion and you do 495

I thought one handed enchants and potions were glitched to not work with daggers, but fortify archery potions effect daggers.

The latest unofficial patch fixes that. (if you're on PC, of course)
