Man, all the FE7 is making me fat and lazy.

I was playing Chapter 21 yesterday, I manage to lose Shiva to Reinhard. I managed to drive away Cyas so there's no leadership bonus, but Reinhard killed Shiva. Wanna know what Shiva's stats are?

HP: 80
Str: 20
Mag: 20
Skl: 20
Spd: 20
Luk: 99!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Def: 20
Build: 20

Yeah that's right, 99 luck and Reinhard managed to kill Shiva. He had a 79 hit rate. I think the freaking Baron boss also helped Reinhard with his leadership.

Oh and I tested out my theory and it turned out to be wrong. I was thinking maybe the traps deactivate if you have Cyas on your side in 24G. I guess not. Thank god, or I might actually have to like guy if he had such a skill. For some strange reason, I once went to 24G and none of the traps worked. Either I got extremely lucky and avoided them all, or they were deactivated some how. I seriously doubt I was that lucky.

The RNG is such a cruel mistress.

Maybe its retribution for cheating?

The RNG tends to punish badly those who cheat too much.

It has nothing to do with RNG. I was thinking with a 99 luck, Reinhard's hit rate would be like 1... instead he has a 79 for hit rate. Can you believe this bum? I'm never letting him live through chapter 21 ever again.

I wasn't truly kidding. When numbers (read: CLT and evade) get too high, the system begins to seem them as small. I figured that out when I was testing some absurd bonuses (90+). If you get him luck down to 20, it's very probable that Reinhard's hit gets lower than 79.

FE5's RNG punishes those who cheat too openly. Remember that.

I remember experimenting with stat bonuses like that in Phantasy Star 4,because once they go over 255 they reset back to 1. It might be something similar in this game.

Yeah, PSIV also had such a bug. But what I heard was that when characters went over level 99, they began to lose techniques and skills. Man, these things are scary.
