oh unlucky me

from Elemental Forums

that's just a crap luck ...

 

I've been cheesing upon a slag

8 level sovereign (drota from stormworld mod) plus 4th level Donya

both assassins, but with good enough skills

the slag got blinded, poisoned, sov was fighting it from within the fortfied tile with evade on. multiple 5-10 damage hits, with slag missing me as he should, then two crits one after another and the beast got down from 148 hp to 1. yes one. feeling lucky? too soon

At this point it hit my sov finally for 58 damage oneshooting him.

good that I have Donya around, she close for a kill 80% chance to hit and ... blocked ... BLOCKED??? not to worry she has evade, within the fortified tile ...

slag hit back ... hits ... for 41 damage ... one shot kill ...

 

damn !

save game, good night, will continue tommorow, enough for today

You can fight slags, you can fight dragons, but since they added the 3% "chance of anything happening" rule, you cannot fight the RNG.

Oh, I just spoke to your RNG.  It said you had used up all your good numbers getting a working installation out of a corrupt installer. If I were you I would sleep under the bed, tonight.

If the poison was still on, you might have moved Donya away rather than attack.

Nice story though, I'm glad the RNG hasn't beat me that bad yet :-)

Randomness is the enemy of skill. It's interesting to see than more skilled a player is than more randomness hurts him, and the crappier a player is, the more he benefits from luck.

In the first place, a skilled player is less likely to get into situations where he must depend on luck to survive, thus it is more likely randomness will screw him in a situation where would have prevailed otherwise.

On the other side a bad player will find himself more often in sticky situations, thus randomness can only benefit him by avoiding defeat.

But then again I my opinion chess lacks excitement. Now I'm going back under my bed, errr, on my bed.

I was too close, that slag has 4 moves if I recall correctly, and I was horseless... figured I got better chances within fortified tile, and the added 5 defense wouldnt matter so it was better to try to kill it

This is why you always let the pawns go first. ;)
