Rope, Snapping:

To find out the % chance to snap a 1/4" rope, see the following chart (See: Note - 3):

 

Condition
of rope:       Chance vs. Strength:
Poor:           (Strength ÷ 2 = % chance to snap a rope successfully.
Fair:            (Strength ÷ 3 = % chance to snap a rope successfully.
Good:          (Strength ÷ 4 = % chance to snap a rope successfully.
Very good: (Strength ÷ 5 = % chance to snap a rope successfully.
Excellent:   (Strength ÷ 6 = % chance to snap a rope successfully.
Superb:       (Strength ÷7 = % chance to snap a rope successfully.

 

Example:
A character with a strength of 37 attempts to snap a rope in "Fair" condition.
He would have a 12% chance of success (37 ÷ 3 = 12 = 12% chance (drop the 1 that is left over)

 

Notes:
1
Only one single attempt can be made to snap a rope per person or creature. even so, if a person with a 30 strength cannot snap a rope, any who attempt the same - who have a lower strength - cannot (they will not get a roll-chance to do so).

 

2
All calculations will be rounded down to the nearest % (i.e., A person with a strength of 31 attempts to snap a rope in “Poor” condition: 31 ÷ 2 = 15 with 1 remaining. Drop the 1 = 15% chance to successfully snap a rope).

 

3
For every 1/4" more thick a rope is, the % chance will be cut by 1/2 (rounded down).
