It would be nice to have actual numbers or even equations, since knowing only that an attribute has a positive effect on leveling speed or 'is a factor' in skill use success does not help you figure out whether, for instance, it is worth putting more points in INT or whether to just ignore it. The first is clear enough, but the other two are not. how many uses of the skill are required for the skill to go up a level. determine how quickly a skill levels, i.e.have various in-game effects on how a skill is used (from the manual: 'Intelligence.is a factor in intelligence-related skills such as negotiating and lockpicking').In Morrowind, I think this means STR=X means governed skill cap=X, so I am assuming this is how it works in Daggerfall. I take this to mean 'how quickly,' but, again, vague. The wiki also says that the attribute determines 'how easy' the governed skill levels. Attributes and skills fundamentally define a character's ability to perform any given action in the game.' This is also vague and possibly self-contradictory. The UESP wiki on attributes says, 'Most attributes are said to 'govern' specific skills, although this relationship does not actually have any in-game effect. The the only thing the Daggerfall manual says about this relationship is 'Each skill has a governing attribute which acts as the skill's upper limit and is factored into some equations when the skill is used.' I assume this is accurate, but the second part is also pretty vague. I am hoping against hope that someone here happens to know. I have seen this question asked many times on other forums, but no one seems to have an answer.

I am looking for information on the relationship between attributes and skills in Daggerfall.
