Let's say I have swordsmanship at 12. If I am using let's say a sword with 15-22 damage and a lvl req of 7, would it give me more damage than if I were using a sword with the same damage but with a lvl req of 10, since with the lower req sword I am more lvls above the min reqs? Or is it all the same?

you suffer a penalty for being below the requirement

if there is a bonus i will let someone who knows that part answer

Yeh, I know about the penalties ;-), but are there bonuses for being more above the min reqs? Good try though, but if noone answers I'll do some testing :-)

You'd do more damage with a higher swordsmanship level as per the game mechanics, but you don't get a bonus for being above the requirement in itself. You just avoid the penalty. In your example, you wouldn't see any difference between the two swords.

Thanks. Wishful thinking on my part I guess.
