[QUOTE="Bayuer, post: 4718406, member: 61817"] After some time to think, I decided to not go crazy about the worst defence. If you have good build you can have two defenses at good level. One much lower. I was looking at AC and hit rate. 25 level vs. AC +30 vs. DEF +28 (+27) AC Max is 41 (10 base, 12 lvl, 5 ench, 12 armor (masterwork plate), 2 shield) Second 39 (without Shield) The other fall between this. Attack vs 41 AC have 45% hitting rate. vs 39 its 55%. And I take this as baseline. DEF Max. will be 36 (10 base, 12 level, 9 atribute, 5 ench) - I'm not including the class bonus. But resonable will be 34 (atribute bonus 7 (18 star to 24 (+7) The lowest stat will be around 31 (10 base, 12 level, 5 ench, 4 atribute) Attack vs. 34 DEF have 70% hitt rate, vs. 31 85%. So I think that this should work fine (+1 heroic, +2 on 15lvl, +4 on 25lvl) This will make hitting into 37 DEF a 55% chance of hitting and into lowest DEF 34 a 70%. Only feats that will be banned are those epic feats that gives +4 to single DEF. Other will be avalible. Now if you take the max. atribute on lvl1 (20) you will end with hit rate into defence linked to that stat at 45%. See some similarities? Max. AC possible (without any addons) is at 45% hit chance, our max DEF is now too at that level. Average (the most likely) AC/DEF are at 55% hit rate. I think that ther's no better way to make it work in way not braking the game. The racial +2 is just an additon, superior bonus that shouldn't be calculated at base math. That's why I just ignored it for my calculations. Off course when you use the best possible atribute, give +2 calas/racial bonus to it, and then take a +2 feat bonus to stat, you will be most likely hard to hit (25%) but as you can see, the chance isn't too low now. 1/4 times you will be hit. But other defenses will be very weak with one drasticly lowe (at 27/28 on that level) so I think it's fine if you choose it that way. That's the final judgment about fixing the DEF bonuses. [/QUOTE]
