Hello all!
Well, I was writing a .NET program to automatically look up the RR's for me and I noticed something. The numbers are not linier.
I was expecting the numbers to line up for certain level of attacker casting on certain levels of target.
According to the chart… if a 1st level Attacker casts a spell on a 1st level Target… the base RR on the chart is 50%.
If I look at the 10th level vs. 10th level its 50% and 15th level vs. 15th its 50% and so on…
HOWEVER, if you look at the resistances before or after that number they are drastically different.
If a 5th level Attacker casts a spell on a 1st level Target, the Target has a base resist = 70
If a 10th level Attacker casts a spell on a 5th level Target (still just 5 levels difference) the Target has a base resist = 65
If a 1st level Attacker casts a spell on a 5th level Target, the Target has a base resist = 30 HOWEVER,
A 5th level Attacker casts a spell on a 10th level Target, the Target has a base resist = 35
WHY?
Shouldn’t this number be the same resist with the Target being a certain number of levels away from the Attacker?
So if an Attacker is 5 levels lower from Target shouldn’t the resistance roll be 70 no matter what the levels of both are? This seems to make more sense?
Please help me with this! I am writing this VB.NET program and I need some logic behind the numbers on the RR table 5.10
Thanks!
Drev!
