What does armor do??
« on: April 24, 2009, 11:59:48 AM »
Maybe i missed something but i didnt see answer to that question.
Does armor reduces damage or decreases chances to get hit?
If he reduces damage, at what rate does he reduce it? i mean how much is damage reduced for every 10 armor or something similar?
and so i dont need to ask other places:
What does proficiency with weapon do? when you go 100 uses of weapons, how much better you fight with weapon?

I believe proficiency with the weapon gives you 2% extra damage for each 100 points. The same is against a particulat type of enemy, I have over 300 against humanoids and I am inflicting 6% more damage to them...

i would rather see that weapon proficiencies give better hit chances. :)

I still want to know what armor does, in any case. I was going to ask this myself but Tiger beat me to it... I also would like to understand the level modifier - just what does it influence?

20 armor decrease 1 damage from the max damage after that the min and max damage are compared, whichever makes more damage is taken into account. You have say 100 armor and the enemy has attack 5-9, 100/20=5, hence 9-5=4, so the minimum damage is taken into account since it is 5 and is more than the 4. Critical hits inflict x3 the max damage, so large armor is essential to survive those...

Weapon proficiencies and the later mastery skills increase both min and max with the particular weapon.

Whtat? The hero inflicts always maximum attack? If i have 11-18 then my hereo attacks always 18-armour/5? :/ Great... I thought it is randomly taken from min to max like allways in such games :/ then i should by bow insted of xbow it's much much much better for lower price..

No, there's a random element as well if I understood correctly.

What about level difference modifier? How does that work?

i am probably wrong, but what i saw from my reports, those lvl modifier inflicts my chances to hit badly. so maybe the chance to hit is divided with that coeficient . so when you are weaker you have much smaller chances to hit and when you are stronger you have much bigger chances to hit.
with same hammer i hit lower lvl enemies between 2/3 and 3/4 or even more. but higher lvls i hit 1/4.
