Agility in Oblivion affects several key aspects of gameplay, particularly related to combat and stealth:
- It governs the skills of Marksman, Security, and Sneak, making it crucial for characters who use bows, pick locks, or rely on stealth
- Agility increases the damage dealt by bows, daggers, and shortswords, thus improving ranged and light melee weapon effectiveness
- It contributes to your total fatigue (stamina), which is essential for performing physical actions like attacking, running, and power attacks
- Agility increases the rate at which your fatigue regenerates, allowing you to recover stamina faster during combat or movement
- It reduces the chance of being staggered by enemy attacks, helping maintain your combat flow
- Higher agility is particularly beneficial for stealth builds that rely on sneaking and ranged attacks
In summary, agility improves your stamina pool and regeneration, enhances damage with bows and light weapons, supports stealth-related skills, and helps avoid stagger in combat. This makes it a valuable attribute for archers, thieves, and light melee fighters
