Basically I have changed all skill resistances to be based on a &lt;br&gt;&gt; percentage rather than a fixed value. So for example:&lt;br&gt;&gt; &lt;br&gt;&gt; Current:&lt;br&gt;&gt; Cast Blast: 250 skill level&lt;br&gt;&gt; Monster Resistance: 200&lt;br&gt;&gt; Damage = 250 - (random 0 - 100) - Resistance / 2&lt;br&gt;&gt; Damage = 50 - 150&lt;br&gt;&gt; &lt;br&gt;&gt; New&lt;br&gt;&gt; Cast Blast: 250 skill level&lt;br&gt;&gt; Monster Resistance: 200&lt;br&gt;&gt; Damage = 250 - (random 0 - 100) * (250 / (250 + Resistance))&lt;br&gt;&gt; Damage 83 - 138&lt;br&gt;&gt; &lt;br&gt;&gt; So this reduces randomness slightly. This smoothing will become more &lt;br&gt;&gt; noticable if you attack something much larger than yourself:&lt;br&gt;&gt; &lt;br&gt;&gt; Cast Blast: 200 skill level&lt;br&gt;&gt; Monster Resistance: 400&lt;br&gt;&gt; Damage = 200 - (random 0 - 100) - Resistance / 2&lt;br&gt;&gt; Damage = -100 - 0 (always fail)&lt;br&gt;&gt; &lt;br&gt;&gt; New&lt;br&gt;&gt; Cast Blast: 200 skill level&lt;br&gt;&gt; Monster Resistance: 400&lt;br&gt;&gt; Damage = 200 - (random 0 - 100) * (200 / (200 + Resistance))&lt;br&gt;&gt; Damage = 33 - 66 (not great - but at least its something)&lt;br&gt;&gt; &lt;br&gt;&gt; Some skills are _meant_ to fail (like charm) - so if you find yourself &lt;br&gt;&gt; able to charm lvl 50 mobs, please bug it to me.&lt;br&gt;&gt; &lt;br&gt;&gt; Feedback welcome!&lt;br&gt;&gt; &lt;br&gt;&gt; ~Orion&lt;br&gt;&gt; &lt;br&gt;So it looks like there was a *slight* error in the resistance calculation &lt;br&gt;for skills that meant resistance was half what it should have been. &lt;br&gt;Whoops! Glad somebody noticed (*cough* not *cough*). This has been fixed &lt;br&gt;and uh, this might make a slight difference in skill damage utput. On &lt;br&gt;the flip-side this might reduce warrior damage as well!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;~Orion&lt;br&gt; ```&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
