What is the maximum sneak damage per hit?
I was wondering what the highest sneak damage you could get out of the game is, because I found some Dark Brotherhood armor, and it has a good bit of sneak damage.
The highest possible (passive) sneak damage multiplier you can get, is 60:
Sneak attacks max out at 15x damage, once the 'Assassin's Blade' perk from the Sneak Perk Tree has been attained.
Dual wielding daggers will allow your character to do a double sneak attack.
Wearing the Shrouded Gloves, sneak attack damage is doubled once more.
This results in (2 x 2 x 15x =) 60x damage.
This can be increased using active powers:
As an Orc, you have the racial ability Berserker Rage, which doubles your damage as well (for 60 seconds. Combined with the other factors, this results in a multiplier of 120).
The Marked for Death shout damages armor ratings up to 75 points per second: it effectively adds damage multipliers if the enemy's armor rating drops below 0 and into negative numbers.
