Bars, Bending:
To find out the % chance to bend a set of 1/2" bars, see the following chart:
Condition
of bars: Chance vs. Strength:
Poor: (Strength ÷ 2 (-1) = % chance to bend bars successfully.
Fair: (Strength ÷ 3 (-2) = % chance to bend bars successfully.
Good: (Strength ÷ 4 (-3) = % chance to bend bars successfully.
Very good: (Strength ÷ 5 (-4) = % chance to bend bars successfully.
Excellent: (Strength ÷ 6 (-5) = % chance to bend bars successfully.
Superb: (Strength ÷7 (-6) = % chance to bend bars successfully.
Example:
A character with a strength of 37 attempts to bend a set of bars in "Fair" condition.
He would have a 10% chance of success (37 ÷ 3 = 12 (-2) = 10% chance
See: "Notes: 3"
Notes:
1
Only one single attempt can be made to bend a set of bars per person or creature.
2
All calculations will be rounded down to the nearest % (i.e., A person with a strength of 31 attempts to bend bars in “Poor” condition: 31 ÷ 2 = 15 with 1 remaining. Drop the 1 = 15% chance to successfully bent the bars).
3
For every 1/2" more thick a set of bars is, the % chance will be cut by 1/2 (rounded down).
