The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind · Combat skill
Weapon skills
Long Blade, Short Blade, Axe, Blunt, Spear, and Marksman determine hit chances with their corresponding weapon types and improve through successful hits.
How it works
The skills govern the chance to hit with the respective weapon and level through successful hits. Damage dealt does not affect experience, so successful hits matter to progression. The guide notes that misses grant no experience and that fatigue affects hit success. These records describe the shared function of the listed weapon skills, not their individual weapon statistics.
