| Feb 21, 2019 at 18:24 | comment | added | Patrick Hughes | My general rule is: am I engineering this complicated system just because I'm a total coder geek and love complicated systems, or am I engineering this system because the player will like it? Always go for the player liking it. And players hate it when systems are opaque or overly-complex and they have no way to predict or control outcomes. I recommend getting unstuck on the idea that arbitrary "levels" affect combat in any way and directly use the actual stats that make sense. "Level" is expressed in how advanced the other stats are and not a stat on its own... | |

Apart from what @CameronFredman said - if you don't want there to be a 100% chance, why don't you just cap the result to 99% or whatever max value you want? Something like min(maxChance, calculatedChance) where maxChance is your upper limit should do the trick.

revised the formula per the original poster's intentions (as described in comments)

| Mar 14, 2013 at 17:48 | comment | added | Cameron Fredman | I'm not clear why you're factoring the level in at all. If you have two stats (acrobatics and dexterity) which affect chance to evade, presumably a character leveling has the opportunity to improve those stats. If they haven't or aren't, why should their evasion ability improve? | |

| Mar 14, 2013 at 7:17 | comment | added | Nicol Bolas | @rpgguy: "Meant to be a .1" Then edit the post and make it a 0.1. Also, what is the result of the equation? A percent-chance or something else? Also, in this equation, who's attacking? | |
| Mar 14, 2013 at 7:16 | comment | added | Nicol Bolas | You have one thousand levels? Why? At that point, will anyone even notice going from level 88 to level 89? Are they going to particularly cherish or even remember when they hit level 123? At this point, you may as well be using a point-buy system rather than a level system. | |
