Hmmmm...
I like the alternate choice;
Defense_chance
I like to have a broad sweep over all possible attacks but also able to
define special defense properties against specific attacks.
Also maybe damage types need to be considered.
For one might want a defense chance against physical attacks but not magic
attacks.
I am not sure on how tow to parser it along with skills.
Maybe a separate flag?
Skill
10
|flags
Defense_chance_type=physical|10,50|magic
Or maybe;
Damage_type_defense= etc and so forth.
So these could work together or just one of them.
defense_chance 10|melee_attack,15|fireball
Damage_type_defense=5|fire
So a melee attack would suffer a neg 10 to hit but a negative 20 for
fireball since both the skill and DT is there.
I am not sure how to work the sounds in. maybe a sound plays when a certain
group of the chance roll is hi.
So if you specify a defense sound plays when the attackers chance roll hits
between 11 and 16?
Gave it my best shot. Hope these ideas are usefull in some way.

Thanks :) it's good to hear
I'm probably not going to do it for this release, primarily because I want
to think how I can do it.
I would ideally want it to be something like this:
Unit
10
|flags
fireball_defence_chance 10 // fireballs lose 10% chance when used on this
unit // not so sure about this catch all thing, as it then begs the question
what we do with skills with no explicit chance set defence_chance 5 // -5%
chance of any skill succeeding when directed at this unit
And then on something like an item
Item
10
|flags
ranged_strike_defence_chance 5 // this item offers 5% better evasion from
ranged strike skill when equipped
With similar things being on effects and terrains
My only worry is I think this will trip up the parsing of skill modifiers.
I'm not sure. An alternative might be this:
defence_chance fireball|10,ranged_strike|5
I'm not sure how we determine whether the skill failed or was
blocked/evaded, so whether it was due to bad luck on the attacker's side or
good luck or skill on the defender's side, so I'm not sure what to do about
sound replacements there.
Any thoughts on all of this?
