2k3 DBS--possible to make an attack that does a fixed amount of HP damage?

[orewashinanai]

Hi all,

This is my first time posting, so if this has already been addressed somewhere else (didn't notice it in the FAQs) please let me know.  I would like to make an attack that does exactly some number of HP damage.  Is there a way to do this in the DBS, or will I need to muck around with something more complicated?

I had a couple of ideas:
1) Is there some way to just make a skill that, when successful, takes away X amount of HP?
2) Would I have to do it by figuring out the attack algorithm, messing with stats until I get the amount of damage right, and changing the variance of the attack to 0?
3) Should I just give this up and go into making a CBS that will do this?

Thanks very much!

All you have to do is set the base damage of a skill to the number you want, set teh attack influence, magic influence, and variance to 0, and then it should always do the same amount of damage.

Wonderful.  Thanks!

What influences the probability of a hit succeeding/getting blocked/missing?

You also need to check "ignore defence" thingy in the skill tabb. That way the skill will always as in; ALWAYS inflict the exact amount of damage.
Might need to make sure that it have no attributes as well. Not sure about that.

But as blue said. Set all influences to 0 so that the hero's stats won't increase the damage of the skill.

And I'm pretty sure that there's something next to the place where you type the damage that says "Succession rate" or something. This percentage decides the success chance of the skill.

Great--many thanks!
