Topic: Thief actions Succeed, Fail, Caught in act

I had a thought it would add some amount of realism if Instead of just binary succeed & fail they could also be caught in the act.  The action is done, but the thief is also killed.

There are 10 types of people in the world.  Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I guess big_smile

I was actually thinking that since thieves are harder to use than wizards, given a good enough chance of success that 10% fail rate could be converted to succeed, but killed.  In that way a thief could always complete the mission if he were good enough... but it may cost him his life.

having the "perform action" probability and "surviving" probability independent with the same value.
so 30% means there's 30% he'll survive, and 30% he'll do the action. both could be true, both false, or just 1 true. the game does a seperate mtrand calculation for each.

That would probably work better.
