how does the percentage work?
rjforman
When an item like a sheild says -5 chance 15% or a weapon or whatever how does that work does that mean it blocks -5 15% of the time so 85% of the time it does not? Might be a dumb question but was curious.I tried to search for this but cant find anything.Thanks for any info.

That doesn't mean it's going to block 15/100 consecutive hits or anything, just to clarify. It's a random chance every single time. So theoretically, you could get several hits where you gain the bonus. Overall, you'll find it to be (surprise!) close to the actual stat on the weapon.

Sure sounds like a dumb question

If the enemy hits you 20 times, 3 out of those 20 times the dmg will be reduced by -5.

Not necessarily. 20 is not a large enough sample for it to tend to expected values without deviation.
