All of the stats in Dark Souls return in this rolling game, their functions have been altered to suit this games functions.
Defense increases your chance to completely nullify damage. all or nothing. if You have 612 physical defense, you have a 61.2% chance to nullify all incoming damage. Please note, in this system, the Blue Tearstone Ring is useful. Defense has an 800 point cap, as otherwise this stat could get above 1000, which in this system would result in god mode.
Stamina effects your capacity to do the following.
Dodge: 0.1% more of a chance per point.
25-50% weight rolls get a 0.05% more chance per point.
Fat Rolls get a 0.03% more chance per point, and a 20% boost from the dodge command.
Selecting the dodge command usually gives a 40% increase.
The DWGR multiplies your dodge chance by 2.
The Grass Crest Shield multiplies your dodge chance by 1.1
The MoC muliplies your dodge chance by 1.2
The Cloranthy Ring multiplies your dodge chance by 1.25
The highest possible dodge chance is 50.1%, unless I missed something. If I missed anything, dodge chance will cap at 50.1%
Parries are twice as likely to succeed as dodges, but can only be used 3 times per combat engagement, or 3 times per 10 combat actions; whichever event happens -last-.
Partial Parries block 50% of all incoming damage, and are twice as likely as parries.
In conclusion, once your dodge rate is above 25%, you will always at least partial parry.
During Backstabs and Ripostes, you take 90% less damage.
When blocking, all damage is reduced to whatever the single digit value was; unless you were not capable of blocking the blow.
When human, I will be rolling an invisible die, if it rolls a 1, you will be invaded by a level appropriate invader, whom will wear level appropriate gear that will be randomly selected by another die-roll. (Dice are re-rolled if he does not have the stats to use it.)
So, without further waiting...
