It deals 3 damage per second over three seconds, so 9 damage total. The torch flame effect is a flame destruction spell effect, so Augmented Flames works on it. I do not know if Intense Flames/Aspect of Terror do, but it might be worth a console command test, since that would up damage to something like 18 flame damage/sec for three seconds. All blocking perks that affect 1-Handed weap No affect the torch.[/blockquote]

Thanks for the input !

The 3 for 3 sec I did know it but the no effect of block perks for one hand while torch block that's hard ! I do remember checking in a previous build that disarming bash wasn't working with a torch but I have not tested the rest of it.

Does anyone know what is the base damage (without the destruciton effect) of the torch alone that is used to calculate bash damage in this instance ?

So I didn't play the build as much as intended this week-end, only push it to Lvl10 so far in circa 6 hours of gameplay, but it give me some new ideas... Will update the main post as much as I can during the week and try to advance the playthrough in the meantime...

Finally found the time to work a little more on the build, added the full watchmen (and woman) description for the followers that will join our fine commander in his various investigation...

Also funny story... I managed to end the Forsowrn conspiracy quest with mimum casualties (clearing the full quest without killing Nepos or having Thonar wife killed and still getting the evidence, Freeing Madanach without having Thonar and his guard killed...), I'm a bit impressed it actually worked !

Uesp has the full formula on its Block skill page for Skyrim. I’d search further, but I’m about to be late for work.[/blockquote]

Thanks for the tip Mercurias, that should mean that the perks that increase block damage will still work with torch bashing

Interesting. I just read a book with Commander Vimes, and although I won't be reading it again, I think his transition to Skyrim will work wonderfully.

Thanks Gollum, I don't know which Pratchett's book you read but I can guarantee that the ones involving the Watch are never disappointment !
