Those were just random numbers used for the example, but when it was implemented at least it was not implemented as a flat reduction (and I don't believe it was anywhere near as high as 20%). It was put in with a range between something like 5 and 15... eh, around that.

Shouldn't be hard for you to test, though.


What the Envoys ask for and what gets implemented are sometimes very different things. You are incorrect in your definition of how the dodging works, in this case. Yes, there is a random chance to dodge an attack (pretty high, actually), but the reduction is always the same and not related to the dodge chance.

Dodging my physical attacks is understandable, if a bit annoying, but when someone's dodging fire, psionics, or anything else that doesn't make a lot of sense, I start to have a problem with it.

It works differently between PCs and NPCs. The quoted bit is NPCs. For PCs, it doesn't fire dependant on damage types, just the attack itself.

Flat 15 DMP. What changes is how often you dodge to get that 15 DMP.

Ah. So it's a chance for 15 DMP to each type. The rest would still be full damage.

Either way, isn't it still true that you can dodge someone's psychic, magic, fire, etc damage? That's the part I dislike.

Long as it isn't ranged, yes. Dodging magic/fire/stuff isn't really so bad (they still have to set it up and aim the attack at you), but psionics is a bit different.
Shamarah2008-04-03 22:05:22
Er, you can't dodge psionics unless it's been changed recently.

It was fun! But you're right. Clearly we need to practice until either A ) We're really good at impromptu performances or B ) We train everyone to clap really hard in the hope we'll go away faster. evil.gif

Got phantasms from Lady T for having fun of Malicia by impersonating her Eagle. Although it was in manse, got two zaps and phantasms heh. Anyway, it made me giggle a little.
