Sil: compilation of annoying deaths

[wobbly]

It's a d10 opposed roll.

Cold drake: 13+d10
You: 3+10+d10

I think the draw goes to you, so you actually need another 9 will or a 2nd source of FA to guarantee safety.

[Patashu]

All skill checks are based on opposing d10 rolls (except for melee and ranged accuracy/evasion rolls, which are d20s). You must beat the enemy roll to succeed, else you fail.

So if your adjusted will is 13 (3 will + 10 from free action), and your opponent's will is 13, you have (if my math is right) a 55% chance to get entranced - your d10 roll has to be greater than theirs.

However - If your adjusted will is 10 greater than your opponent's, then even if you roll 1 and your opponent rolls 10, you will succeed and resist the entrancement - so 10 greater is when you finally become 100% safe.

Ah, I see. That makes those dragons a bit scarier. Thanks for clearing that up.

So for something crazy like Glaurung, I'd need 21 Will + FA (or 11 Will and double FA). Ouch.

patashu i think in that instance you would have a 45% chance to get entranced because ties go to the defender.

Ah ok, so you only need adjusted will 9 greater than the enemy to never get paralyzed, not 10?

[seraph]

yes that's correct.
