Hi Andrew,
Do you want the full details? <evil grin>
Okay - all these textual descriptions give a rough indication of the
exact amount of several skills. I'll describe the skills first, then
give a table to relate each term to the appropriate values for each of
the skills.
Saving throw: For some attacks, you have a chance to be unaffected. If
your saving throw is 38, you have a 38% chance to be safe. A saving
throw of 100 or more means that you are completely safe from those
attacks. Your saving throw is determined by race, class, level, and
wisdom.
Stealth: Higher stealth means that sleeping monsters are less likely to
wake up when you are near. Your stealth is determined by race, class,
level, and equipped items with bonus to stealth.
Fighting: Measures the chance to hit an enemy in melee. This is
calculated as a base chance (determined by race, class, and level) +
three times the to hit bonus for melee (determined by strength,
dexterity, equipped melee weapon, and many other factors - but also
displayed on the character info screen).
Shooting: Measures the chance to hit an enemy with ranged attacks. This
is calculated as a base chance (determined by race, class, and level) +
three times the to hit bonus (determined by strength, dexterity,
equipped launcher, and many other factors - but also displayed on the
character info screen).
Disarming: Measures your skill at disarming traps. Your disarming skill
minus the difficulty rating of a trap is the percentage chance of
success. Your disarming skill is determined by race, class, level,
intelligence, and dexterity.
Magic Device: Measures your skill at using magic devices (wands, staffs,
rods) and activating artifacts. The higher, the better. Your magic
device skill is determined by race, class, level, and intelligence.
Perception: Measures the chance that you will spontaneously notice
secret doors and traps (though your Searching skill will also influence
this chance). Your perception is determined by race, class, level, and
equipped items with bonus to searching.
Searching: Measures the chance that you will spontaneously notice secret
doors and traps (though your Perception will also influence this chance)
and also measures the chance that you will find such when actively
searching. Your searching skill is determined by race, class, level, and
equipped items with bonus to searching.
And here is a table that shows what values for each skill is represented
by which text.
Description A B C D
Very bad < 0 < 0 < 0 < 0
Bad 0 - 1 0 - 11 0 - 15 0 - 23
Poor 2 - 2 12 - 17 16 - 23 24 - 35
Fair 3 - 4 18 - 29 24 - 39 36 - 59
Good 5 - 5 30 - 35 40 - 47 60 - 71
Very good 6 - 6 36 - 41 48 - 55 72 - 83
Excellent 7 - 8 42 - 53 56 - 71 84 - 107
Superb 9 - 13 54 - 83 72 - 111 108 - 167
Heroic 14 - 17 84 - 107 112 - 143 168 - 251
Legendary 18+ 108+ 144+ 252+
Column A is for stealth.
Column B is for saving throw, magic device, perception, and searching.
Column C is for disarming.
Column D is for fighting and shooting.
Best, Hugo
