Damage of NPC - Jhobean - 11-12-2019 12:01 AM
We are in transition from 55i to 56d.
I'm surprise that on 56d the STR have no effect on the damage the NPC do. Only damage=x,x is effective.
EX:
I put STR=5000 on my npc and he do the same damage if he has 50.
It's normal or not?
Thx

NPC damage calculation doesn't use any bonus, so it will use weapon damage (if there's any weapon) otherwise it will use chardef DAM=min,max value. There's no STR bonus, DAMINCREASE bonus, nor any other bonus from CombatDamageEra .ini setting
It works in this way to match OSI charts, where if an NPC X have DAM=10,20 you just need to set DAM=10,20 on scripts and it will cause the expected DAM=10,20 without need to worry about nothing increasing this value to 30, which should not happen
PS¹: note that this is only valid for ~damage~ calculation. After calculate the damage, it will hit the target and the target will apply parry chance formula, armor resist formula, etc
PS²: you can easily customize these combat formulas using scripts (eg: apply custom STR bonus on damage using an event to change ARGN1 on @Hit trigger, etc)
