Calm Animal and Crit Resists
 

Can someone clarify if CHA effects crit resist rate on calm animal? Specifically in bear pits, will I see less crit resists on calm animal with 130 CHA vs like 80 CHA? What about level gap? If CHA is the same, will I see less crit resists at 59 vs 54 if the bears are all level 45?

I always thought animal and undead calm weren’t affected by charisma

Not personally done tests but I believe all lull spells, no matter what class is casting them, use charisma as a check.

Video of Sarleon going over this in a chardok video, been a while since I watched it but basically states that there is a quite noticable difference in crit resits going from 75 to 100 cha.

I believe all Lull spells including the Undead and Animal only lull spells use charisma as a saving throw for crit resists. It has no affect on whether or not spell resists, but on a resist, the more charisma your character has the less likely you will get a critical resist. In other words the more charisma you have the less likely you are to be attacked by an npc on a resisted lull.

Is CHA the ONLY thing that affects the crit resist rage? Does level difference have anything to do with it?

Level difference affects resist rates by default, more resists = more rolls for crit resist

MobRoll = (((MobMR + MobLevel) / 3) / 255) + (RandomFloat(-10, 10) / 100.0)

CasterRoll = (((CasterCha + CasterLevel / 3) / 255) + (RandomFloat(-10, 10) / 100.0)


If the Caster Roll is less than Mob Roll, you get a "Critical" resist, and the mob will aggro. These rolls are only performed on a resist.

Level Difference and MR only affect the chance of resist. It has no affect on whether are not the resist causes a critical.

Are those formulas from P1999 or PEQ database?

Someone dug those out of p99 years ago.

Seems legit to me, at around 220 cha on Enc I never get crit resist on mobs 5+ levels lower than me.

On necro level 60 with 25cha, I get crit resist all the time


Plugging a few numbers in:

(1/255) * [(Level 60 + 25 cha) / 3] +- 0.1 = [0.01, 0.21]. - 60 Necro/25cha roll bounds

(1/255) * [(Level 55 + 220 cha) / 3] +- 0.1 = [0.26, 0.46] - 55 enc/220 Cha roll bounds

Same formula, mob level 49, 25 MR = [0.00, 0.20] - 49 mob with 25MR

So you can effectively eliminate the chance of crit resist on lull with enough charisma. (See there is no intersection between the enchanter and mob rolls).

Even though Necro is higher level, there is more intersection of the rolls on resist. This is the true power of charisma in terms of CC.
