Garrulous Glaahk Newtfeet Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Am I right in that a strength of 11 for a posion/disease special property on a floor will have a 5 percent chance of inflicting one 11-sided die of damage? In other words, 1-11 damage? The docs say there's a base 60% chance of dealing damage, minus 5% per point of strength, and inflict a single die of damage with as many sides as the strength. That doesn't seem like a lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 It's not in damage - it's in layers of poison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Newtfeet Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 Ohhh... So a strength of 11 would be a 5% chance of 11 layers of posion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Sometimes I look at how I did something, shake my head sadly, and say "What was I thinking?" This is one of those cases. Having floor with a powerful effect have almost no chance of inflicting it? What? In all versions of BoA after Mac v1.0, swamp and disease terrain will have a straight up 50% chance of inflicting their effect. The strength of the ability is the number of levels of poison/disease that are given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about instead of making it only one setting, so you could set the percentage for the tile type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Newtfeet Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 Cool. However, I still have a question. How do levels of posion/disease translate into HP damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 It depends on the PC's resistance to poison/disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Newtfeet Posted March 22, 2004 Author Share Posted March 22, 2004 But supposing a resistance of 0%, how would it translate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 It's impossible to have a resistance of zero. The actual HP damage is generally between 1-10 for one layer, 15-30 for two, and between 30-50 for three. Poison, with lots of layers, can be devastating.
