ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

from counterattack code:

getDamage = function(self, t) return self:combatTalentWeaponDamage(t, 0.5, 0.9) + getStrikingStyle(self, dam) end,
counterchance = function(self, t) return self:combatLimit(self:getTalentLevel(t) * (5 + self:getCun(5, true)), 100, 0, 0, 50, 50) end, --Limit < 100%
getCounterAttacks = function(self, t) return self:combatStatScale("cun", 1, 2.24) end,


(though I've seen it say it goes over 100% despite what that says).

So, what do the numbers mean, one after another? If I want to change percent chance?


return ([[When you avoid a melee blow from an adjacent foe, you have a %d%% chance to get a free, automatic attack against the attacker for %d%% damage, up to %0.1f times per turn.

What is %d%% mean and how do I change it?

For example, if character starts with chance to counterattack and then gets a second better chance at higher level, I would put a second talent in that would have to have better chances that would go into effect in addition to the original talent.

Those numbers are all scaling factors. Check the comment above each of their function definitions for what does what.

%d%% means replace this with a base 10 integer and add a % sign after it. To change it, you just change the argument in the format() function that corresponds with it.

but they dont have comments above them???


again:



getAnomalyDuration = function(self, t)
local dam = self:combatScale(getParadoxSpellpower(self, t), 4, 10, 12, 100, 0.75)
return math.ceil(rng.avg(dam / 2, dam, 3))
end


getAnomalyRange = function(self, t)
local range = math.floor(self:combatLimit(getParadoxSpellpower(self, t), 80, 20, 20, 40, 100))
return range
end


i just dont see comments telling me what any such numbers mean. they dont even follow a pattern i can recognize.

Read through http://te4.org/wiki/Scaling for information on how scaling for talents work

There are comments above the function definitions in the combat.lua file.
