Dalai's Weapon Damage Statistics - These are "supposedly" the numbers used Thievery Beta 1.2
Mad Gerbil's Jan 8 Arrow & Bolt Test - Initial findings conclude these numbers don't tell the whole story
Yes, I know that the blackjack, bow, and xbow will be tweaked for 1.3, but I just had to know the numbers for this version, and I'm sure many of you wanted to know, also.
My Findings:
There is no regional damage for a thief: backside hit is the same as a frontside hit.
For guards, there is no differentiation between a headshot and a bodyshot, but there is a difference between a front shot and a back shot.
Thief bow shoot speed at maximum draw = 2.5 seconds per arrow (10 shot average)
Guard crossbow shoot speed = 2.7 seconds per bolt (10 shot average)
The following tests were done with three people: a guard, a thief, and an observer who was either thief or guard, depending on who was getting shot. Tamias(Wraith) and [RLF]Slappy were my two lovely assistants. Damage is measured in health points (hp). Guards start with 125, thieves 100. Projectiles were shot at about 10 feet away. Projectiles were either regular crossbow bolts or broadhead arrows. Percents in parenthesis for guards scale damage relative to their total health for comparison with thieves.
Bolt hitting thief (any side): 24
Broadhead hitting guard (frontside): 29 (23%)
Broadhead hitting guard (backside): 59 (47%)
Normal hit with sword on thief: 19
Charged hit with sword on thief: 39
Normal hit with mace on thief: 29
Charged hit with mace on thief: 59
Going by those numbers,
To kill a thief from max health:
5 bolts which takes 13.5 seconds to shoot
6 regular sword hits
1 charged sword hit plus 4 regular sword hits
4 regular mace hits
1 charged mace hit plus 2 regular mace hits
To kill a guard from max health:
5 arrows to the front which takes 12.5 seconds to shoot
3 arrows to the backside which takes 7.5 seconds
We did not factor in combos such as the damage done by a crack arrow, which may be just enough so that one less broadhead is needed. That is just speculation, though. Any additional tests feel free to conduct on your own and post here.
