Default Re: SE V: Unique Abilities And Ideas

The underlying idea is that more shots with less accuracy is what is needed to spread the probability curve.
That combined with the fact that a small accuracy bonus becomes very significant when the total accuracy is low (consider 10% vs 5% accuracy) because of the accursed additive modifiers.

The only safe, low accuracy value is -999% to ensure everybody gets exactly 1%, and not 2% or 5% due to racial bonuses.

If only Aaron had gone with a better accuracy calculation, such as Accuracy = (Offense / (Offense+Defense))
