```Originally Posted : Fri May 13 03:27:23 2022 <br>Posted by : Orion <br>Title : Resistance <br>----------------------------------------<br>This is a pretty broad change and one I will trial to see how we feel about <br>it.  Basically I have changed all skill resistances to be based on a <br>percentage rather than a fixed value.  So for example:<br><br>Current:<br>Cast Blast:  250 skill level<br>Monster Resistance: 200<br>Damage = 250 - (random 0 - 100) - Resistance / 2<br>Damage = 50 - 150<br><br>New<br>Cast Blast: 250 skill level<br>Monster Resistance: 200<br>Damage = 250 - (random 0 - 100) * (250 / (250 + Resistance))<br>Damage = 83 - 138<br><br>So this reduces randomness slightly.  This smoothing will become ore <br>noticable if you attack something much larger than yourself:<br><br>Cast Blast:  200 skill level<br>Monster Resistance: 400<br>Damage = 200 - (random 0 - 100) - Resistance / 2<br>Damage = -100 - 0 (always fail)<br><br>New<br>Cast Blast: 200 skill level<br>Monster Resistance: 400<br>Damage = 200 - (random 0 - 100) * (200 / (200 + Resistance))<br>Damage = 33 - 66 (not great - but at least its something)<br><br>Some skills are _meant_ to fail (like charm) - so if you find yourself <br>able to charm lvl 50 mobs, please bug it to me.<br><br>Feedback welcome!<br><br>~Orion<br> ```<br><br>[[Category:Changes_Board]]
