Immunity/Save synergies

[lukep]

Having good (but not perfect) saves and good (but not perfect) immunities is not very effective currently. I think that the system would work better if, instead of a straight chance to ignore an effect, it reduced the power of the attack by that amount. This would make immunities in the 50-95% range much more consistent. An example:

You are hit by a mage's (40 spellpower, which is 60 untiered power) freeze spell when you have 60% stun immunity, so instead of checking your save against 40, you check it against 22 (60 untiered power * 0.4 not immune = 24 untiered, or 22 tiered power)

I believe that this would deemphasize 100% immunities for players, which I think would be a good goal.

I like this a lot.

Me too! Immunities could be capped for players, too, if this was changed.

Best idea in months! Recent betas are getting too difficult to play. Powerful characters can die in one turn with almost no way to avoid this.
