[edit] Total Fatigue

The game guide says that "Fatigue is the combined values of your Strength, Endurance, Agility, and Willpower" But this page only mentions Endurance. Does anyone know the actual formula that determines your total fatigue? --Nephele 22:26, 16 August 2006 (EDT) As far as I can tell, it's the four values added, making a maximum of 400.

[edit] Formula

Does anyone know the formula to determine how fast you regenerate fatigue, or is it pre-set and have no formula. Even then, does anyone know the values that fatigue regenerates, along with your athletics skill perks? - Aeroice 20:28, 1 June 2007 (EDT)

From what I've been able to glean through playtesting, I'd hypothesize that Fatigue Regeneration is fixed at 10 points a second. By enchanting two Apparel items with "Damage Fatigue 5 points", you can cause your character's Fatigue regeneration to halt completely: you will not regain any Fatigue, and running/jumping will cause it to drop to a lower level. I'd venture to guess that running is a built-in Damage Fatigue value of 5 points a second (enough to slow Fatigue regen to a crawl, but not enough to halt it), with each Athletics skill level perk removing one point from that value. It also means that if you strive to Damage a target's Fatigue, then exceeding 10 points a second may be the target goal of your poison and magical attacks. —Dark Spark 16:27, 19 January 2008 (EST)

I don't know about the actual formula used, but there are two game settings involved (and I don't have their names to hand either). The one is set to 8, while the other is set to 0. I know that if you increase the second setting above zero, you lose fatigue when running (like in Morrowind). The higher you set the two settings, the quicker you lose fatigue.

I seem to remember if you set the second setting (the one that is 0) to 4, and give your character a constant 1 point of fatigue restoration (such as if you use OOO and choose the Warrior sign), at Apprentice rank for Athletics, you don't lose any fatigue when running. That is, you can see your fatigue go down and be immmediately restored to maximum.

If you use Wrye Bash, you have the option of setting the rate of fatigue loss from running to a variety of values - it is these two settings that get modified.

I'd assume, that because athletics increases your rate of fatigue regeneration when running, that it has a large part in your overall fatigue regeneration, and its governing attribute. Just a thought.

I've added a link to the article to the TESCSWiki article that provides the regeneration formula. Which basically boils down to what Dark Spark said: constant 10 points per second. (There's a built-in option to have fatigue regenerate faster based on your Endurance, but it's effectively disabled because the parameter is set to zero). There is no effect of Athletics upon fatigue regeneration.

The amount of fatigue lost while running depends upon your Athletics level: 8 points/second, 6 points/second, 4 points/second, 2 points/second, or 0 points/second.

[edit] how much fatigue is taken when you swing a weapon with a given weight?

is there any formula to determine this? i saw a comment somewhere that said power attacks take 5x fatigue. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.244.203.251 (talk • contribs) on 5 January 2009.

Based on the game settings listed here, and the discussion of those game settings, it appears that:

fatigue burned = (fFatigueAttackBase + fFatigueAttackMult * WeaponWeight) * fPowerAttackFatiguePenalty,

In other words,

fatigue burned (normal) = 7 + 0.1*WeaponWeight

fatigue burned (power attack) = (7 + 0.1*WeaponWeight)*5

[edit] fatigue damage from power attacks

if you use a power attack on an npc, how much fatigue does it drain from him/her
