Ok...heh lots of ground to cover but since I'm using my phone I'll give you the short version.  Your ability to be hit or missed is a comparison between your combat skill and your opponents.

Combat skills...
Fencing
Mace fighting
Swords
Wrestling
Archery
Throwing

If you have EQUAL skill as your opponent you hit and are missed 50% of the time.  Hit chance increase and defense chance increase modify that base number and basically cancel each other out.  Example...  you have any combat skill at 120 and so does your opponent.  Your on a mage with 45 dc I and your opponent has 45 hci. ..you are hit 50% of the time...Your hci and dc I cancel.

Mage weapons simply allow you to use your Magers skill as a "combat" skill though at a penalty...  If you have 120 real Magers skill and equip a -20 mage weapon you would effectively have 100 base combat skill for purposes of hitting or being missed.  The thing to do with mage weapons is to account for that negative Magers penalty.   So.....If you have +20 Magers skill increase on your suit the -20 mage weapon is accounted for and your getting a FREE combat skill at 120 for the cost of having to use the mage weapon...

Also.. multiple combat skills don't stack to make you harder to hit or any easier to hit someone else..
Gah.. At work heh.. someone else can email anatomy + evaluation dodge stuff...heh

40 Med won't cut it these days... If it's not a Mystic character I ALWAYS run 100 Med or greater because at 100 you get a small bonus.   If I remember correctly the 80 dex requirement for parry simply means that if your 120 parry + sheid + 80 dex you have a 35% to block any attack that would otherwise hit you.   For every 10 dex less than 80 you lose roughly 3% chance to block from what I recall.   I'd definitely set myself up so that when potted up Greater STR / DEX & cursed by a 120 eval/mage that I end up at 80 dex.

Dont' get #findkind & #findcnt mixed up.      #Findcnt will = ZERO if there's nothing to be found.   I always use #findcnt and NEVER #findkind.

Lucky you caught it in time !


 I was also stupid once upon a time & let the neighbor kid talk me into bringing him so of my mom's hairspray....   Lets just say the abandoned shack next door with 3 ft tall dry grass had lots of grasshoppers which the other kid thought would be fun to try to blow torch outta the air.   I was running the other way 10 sec after he started bc I realized it could all go boom & luckily my mother saw me frantically dragging the hose that way and rushed out to help etc...    All good in the end fire was put out, but another minute or so & it would have been hugely bad...  3 weeks grounded for myself & the other kids dad was the local church pastor and I didn't see him for a long time...

Something like this is how I'd go about it...   The Repeat loop only loops what's BETWEEN the Repeat / Until  which is nada.

1)  finditem % breakgarbage..... where you looking..aka C_ , # backpacking

2) The last "If" statement only executes the following line without brackets..

3)  I like to use #findcnt = 0.  Instead of # findkind and I know there was a good reason why but I honestly forget..
