Garrulous Glaahk Bushwhacker2k Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Playing Avernum 3, it shows my Slith as having 110% fire resistance, but he definitely still takes damage. What's the cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt mikeprichard Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 It wasn't until Avernum 4 that Jeff implemented in-game resistance etc. stat information that was accurate, so yeah, you're going to see resistances listed as more than 100% in Avernum 3 that aren't really 100%. I'm not sure what the caps are, but later game caps were usually in the 90-95% range. But again, the in-game info pre-Avernum 4 isn't going to tell you much - i.e. I have no idea whether "110%" really means 60%, or 80%, or what. Just look forward to the Avernum 3 remake in a few years, like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I don't remember the details, but the problem has to do with displayed resistances being additive but the actual effect being multiplicative, if I remember correctly.
