For future reference for Emerald Tiger and Flayne about percentages and stacking
so would they stack the way Flayne said if the % didn't affect each other?
No. Percentages either stack by multiplying (as I showed) or they do not stack.
Sorry to say, but If that is the case with what ET wanted, then that's kind of useless, IMO.
729/4096 chance to prevent poison damage? extremely UP, why not just use a purify?
No, 729/4096 is the chance of
not preventing poison damage. That means it is a 3367/4096 chance of negating poison damage.
Just as a rule of thumb Flayne, you do not understand how percentages correctly stack. (few people do) So here is a handy chart
X% of preventing (more complicated) [X% chance of missing]
| 1 | X % |
| 2 | 100 - ( (100-X)^2)/100 % |
| 3 | 100 - ( (100-X)^3)/10,000 % |
| 4 | 100 - ( (100-X)^4)/1,000,000 % |
| 5 | 100 - ( (100-X)^5)/100,000,000 % |
| 6 | 100 - ( (100-X)^6)/10,000,000,000 % |
Y% of occurring [Y% chance of infecting]
| 1 | Y % |
| 2 | (Y^2)/100 % |
| 3 | (Y^3)/10,000 % |
| 4 | (Y^4)/1000,000 % |
| 5 | (Y^5)/100,000,000 % |
| 6 | (Y^6)/10,000,000,000 % |
The simpler version is better.
