    I don't think the vampire illusion bonus will carry over in this case...

    The pale blades effect is called 'frost terror' and I think the game reads it a little differently than the normal fear effect. I've not tested it though...

    And James I agree, it's great to see some fresh talent in the group!

    You're right it doesn't carry over. Champion of the Night only affects Illusion spells, while Augmented Frost clearly states that enhancements are effected.

    But James is right about the Stamina damage. The in-game description is wrong for that. Didn't thought about that. Thanks, James. And also thanks for the compliment

    I'm unsure about the stamina damage...

    I have seen enemies crippled very quickly by the pale blade though, you're taking out a nice chunk of their stamina with each hit AND casting fear on them...

    ...that's like asking someone to do 300 squats and then sprint. Dead legs, and they literally wander away from you screaming.

    Well to be honest I don't get the stamina damage either. And the game says its 50 damage.

    But the UESP-Wiki says this: "The stamina damage effect on this weapon is actually the standard "half the frost damage", but the descriptions incorrectly list it as double."

    Or did I get that wrong? Could be that my English is at it's limits right now

    Numerically, frost damage causes the highest attribute hit of all the elements...

    If your weapon says it's doing 50 frost damage then it's usually doing 50 stamina damage. And it slows enemies down to boot!

    Alright so then its 25 frost damage to health and 25 stamina damage. If you get the weapon with level 27. Than the description in the game with 50 stamina damage is false, since it only does 25 points of frost damage.

    And with Augmented Frost (2/2) that would be 37,5 frost damage to health and 37,5 of stamina damage.

    I'm honestly a bit confused right now ^^'

    Thanks!

    Yeah I like the frost/fear combo a lot. It's kinda like a nightmare. You're scared but your legs just wont let you move as fast as you want them to.

    Well then third time is a charm. Now my Tags should be acceptable. Next time I read everything first and post then. As it's intended ^^'

    Yep, that should be correct!
