I meant that you can use chance=200 and that'll work too. Or higher numbers.
When testing it works, anyway, and it's extremely handy when you want
skills to still work regardless of chance modifiers that have been
placed on the target.

What do you mean by chance working with higher numbers than 100%? The way I
understood it was that if you put in a chance =a number between one and 100
that this would be the percentage chance of success for that skill. I was
just wondering if the number range could be changed to simulate certain
dice
rolls.
For instance I might want a range of one through six for an attack and make
the success chance a 1 through 2. Or even a 1 through 20 that is so often
used for Dungeons & Dragons. I know there's all sorts of bell curves with
dice and not quite sure about how random works in a program. But converting
a combat system for tactical battles from a pencil and paper game would be
a
little easier with the calculations. I hope I described this a little bit
better.

Eh...chance can actually still work with a larger number than 100. Not sure
if that was intentional, but it's great for skills that are supposed to
work
regardless of any chance modifiers.
Anyways, that's not what you were saying...personally it might be neat to
be
able to specify a range for chance, although I'm not sure how a dice would
work. And even range, because percentage makes the most sense.
But those are just my opinions. *shrug*

Not sure who would be interested in this.
Right now the chance flag uses a 0 through 100 percentile.
How hard would it be to change that percentile to some other dice. For
instance if you wanted to use a D6 Or a D12 instead of what amounts to
a D100.
