Question about enchantments : IV

» Tue May 17, 2011 6:55 am

If i want to do more damage in hand to hand fighting should i get a fortify hand to hand enchantment, or a fortify strength one?

While both H2H skill and strength contribute to damage, boosting H2H will net you more extra damage than boosting strength.

^ This correct; note, however, that boosting either or both beyond 100 will have no further impact upon your H2H damage. Same goes for any Luck modifier if it effectively pushes H2H past 100.

Does it work that way for every skill?

Skills are pretty simple. Quote UESP wiki:

Some magical effects can increase your skill above 100, but in general increases above 100 have no real effect. The only exceptions are Acrobatics and Athletics, which will continue to increase your character's jump height and run speed, respectively, up to a maximum value of 255.

Attributes are a little more complex. Another UESP quote:

The current value of an attribute can be boosted past 100, and many, but not all, benefits of the attribute continue to increase for values greater than 100 (see Magical Effects on Attributes). Most aspects of game play are based upon the current value of the attribute.
