Formulas
RPG Architect leverages a formula engine, allowing users to create their own formulas when leveraging Statistics in Skills and more.
- Whenever a Success Formula is defined anywhere, it is always calculating it out of 100. Specifying a raw value of "100" will ensure that it is always successful.
- Anytime a Success Formula is evaluated, the engine is randomly generating a whole number between 0 and 99. If it is below the value calculated for the Success Formula it will be "successful."
