Oblivion:Agility

Agility is the governing attribute for Marksman, Security, and Sneak. It affects:

• Chance to avoid being 'staggered' by enemy attacks.
• Damage delivered by bows (see The Complete Damage Formula).
• Fatigue = Agility + Endurance + Strength + Willpower

In-game Description: Affects your ability to maneuver and balance, your total Fatigue, and damage done by bows. Governs the skills of Security, Sneak, and Marksman.

Character Creation

• The Races page provides a table summarizing the initial Agility for each race and gender.
• An initial +10 Agility bonus is possible by selecting Thief as your birthsign.
• The following standard classes have Agility as a class attribute (initial +5 bonus):
  • Acrobat, Agent, Archer, Monk, Thief, Witchhunter
• Or any custom class can select Agility as one of its two attributes.

Notes

• Increasing your Agility past 100 continues to increase your fatigue and decrease your chances of being staggered. However, bow damage is capped at 100.
