| Author | triggering ability - what is the chance? |
|---|
pretty sure this question has been already done but I spent time looking through searched queries and found nothing ...
so I ask again:
- what is the chance to trigger a special ability like "stun"? | Chance for ability to trigger
If attHP >= tarHP, then
_Probability = 25% + 3% * (attHP/tarHP);
else
_Probability = 25% - 3% * (tarHP/attHP),
whence:
» attHP is the total leftover HP of the stack that's using the ability;
» tarHP is "-"-" of the target stack;
» Trigger probability does not exceed the bound of [5%;75%];
» The moments to calculate the probability differ depending on the ability type.
-> For Stun and Knocking shot, the probability is calculated using HP's of stacks *before* the actual attack.
-> For Knockback and Fear Attack, the calculation occurs *after* the attack and before target's retaliation.
» The only ability that can trigger on retaliation counterstrike is Knockback.
Formula above works for all triggering abilities. They are marked here:

Soldier's luck increases the likehood to trigger creature's ability: a 2nd attempt is made, with same chance to trigger as 1st one. As such, if chance for ability to trigger in one attempt is in interval [0.05;0,75] then chance with two attempts belongs to interval [0.0975; 0.9375] | Shebali gave the formula once, but the topic has since sunk way below :)
Base chance is 25%, it can be increased up to 70% depending on the total HP of the swordsman stack as compared to the enemy stack total HP. The base chance of 25% can also be decreased if the total swordsman stack is lower than the enemy stack.
Soldiers luck gives you two times the chance for a trigger, ie. giving you 2 dices to roll.
The same formula can be used for fear attack, knocking shot and knockback. | | many thanks ... to admins: why not putting the formula in the help "about the game"? | | closed by Shebali (2009-06-12 16:07:02) |
