Daggerfall:Short Blade

Short Blade governs the ability to hit a target with daggers, shortswords, tantos, and wakazashis, adding skill % to hit chance. Contrary to the descriptions found in-game and in the game manual, Short Blade does not increase damage inflicted upon a target. Your Short Blade skill is automatically checked whenever you attack an opponent using a dagger, shortsword, tanto, or wakazashi.

Short Blade's governing attribute is Agility.
