Melee Hit Chance

Melee Hit Chance is a stat: Chance to hit a target in melee. The target can still dodge even if we would've hit. Its minimum allowed value is 0%. Its default value is 0%.

Base score

The base score starts at 0 and is affected by the following things:

• Melee skill: +1 per level
• Sight: 12x importance, no allowed defect. 150% limit
  • offset = 12 x ((IF sight < 150% THEN sight ELSE 150%) - 100%) e.g. +6 at 150% sight.
• Manipulation: 12x importance, no allowed defect. 150% limit
  • offset = 12 x ((IF manipulation < 150% THEN manipulation ELSE 150%) - 100%) e.g. +3 at 125% manipulation.
• Brawler trait: +4
• Melee specialist role : +7
• Melee specialist's Beserk Trance : +8
• Leader's Combat Command : +3
• Mechlord suit : −0.5
• Mechlord helmet : −0.5

Post-processing curve

The melee hit chance is then calculated with the following post-processing curve. As you can see increasing the base score has diminishing returns.

Assuming no other offsets to the base score, the melee skill and the brawler trait results in the following melee hit chance:
