The idea here is that even if someone's statistic is much higher than his opponent's, the opponent will still have a chance of success. So, if your defense is much higher than my attack, I could still inflict damage on you sometimes.
Also, the chance of success becomes more balanced when the two statistics are closer to each other. If my attack is 50 and your defense is 50, I have a 50% chance of dealing damage to you. | |
Lexy mentioned this method once and I've been a fan ever since for the reasons you mentioned. (Speaking of fandom, SHN is back!) I'm thinking of using it in my tactical war game, Flesh and Drone, at some point. I'd probably put the lower number in the rand() proc first though. ;)
As for Falacy's comment, I think that DivineO'peanut was describing a further step in the algorithm rather than the raw damage value. =) | |
