Leon (Guest) (9 posts) Aug-17-06, 06:44 AM (Pacific) "Critical Strike" I recently finished the game as a solo Ninja (ended up around level 31, with Critical Strike and Unarmed maxed out) and I was wondering how exactly CS worked. I know it has a chance to instantly kill any enemy, but do any of you know the exact formula to determine the critical chance from the skill?   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

rbrown (2 posts) Aug-17-06, 11:46 AM (Pacific) 1. "RE: Critical Strike" I recently read somewhere that every 10 points of critical skill equals a 1% chance of an instant kill. Or it might have been 20 points? So, a weapon with 5% critical and a skill level of 50 points would equal a 10% chance of a critical. I have never measured criticals and I have never run an unarmed anything. I just boost dexterity and intelligence and senses and strength and speed and use a lot of knockout/paralysis weapons. And toxic cloud and insanity and Psionic Blast. And elementals.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

myrddin (24 posts) Aug-17-06, 08:09 PM (Pacific) 2. "RE: Critical Strike" Im sure it also takes into account other factors such: as level of the monster; your level vs monster level; monsters attributes, resistances, ac, etc. Im sure its not as simple as a percentage formula - as most things in Wizardry games it alway seems the formulas and calculations turn out to be more complex than you think. Always remember the Tleilaxu Epigram: Here lies a toppled god his fall was but a small one we did but build his pedestal a narrow and a tall one.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

XenXheng (1 posts) Aug-19-06, 10:40 PM (Pacific) 3. "RE: Critical Strike" I know of at least 3 things that determine Critical Strikes: 1. Your level vs. monster level (your higher level means a better chance) 2. Every 25 points in Critical Strike gives 1% extra chance (meaning Ninjas get +5% at max, while Samurai or Monk get only +4%) 3. Weapon Kill% is a straight up addition (10% kill + 75 Critical Strike = 13% Critical chance) Chris   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Leon (Guest) (9 posts) Aug-27-06, 06:56 PM (Pacific) 4. "RE: Critical Strike" Thank you very much, Chris. That's what I was looking for. If anyone else knows the exact mechanics of it, though, I'd still like to know them.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
