Stamina (Skyrim)

Stamina is your character's physical energy, used to perform various strenuous activities, in particular power attacks, bashing, or sprinting. If your stamina is too low, you are unable to perform these strenuous activities. Your stamina determines your maximum Carry Weight.

The amount of stamina you have depends on your character's level. Each time you level, you can choose whether to add ten points to your stamina, or to another attribute.

The green bar in the bottom right of the screen shows you the current status of your stamina. Options for restoring stamina include:

Stamina restores slowly over time.

Restore stamina potions and spells are available.

Some types of food restore stamina.

Whenever your character levels up, your stamina is fully restored.

Sleeping or waiting restores stamina.
