Somebody was playing the Balance Mod.

The max range is 500.

If you want over-realism, you can just throw in a 1/r (for 2D accuracy, or 1/r^2 for 3D accuracy falloff.

The major problem is that additive modifiers screw this up bad, so you have to really lock down the available bonuses.

@CPT Kwok: Yes You Are Correct Sir! It’s the only one the two kids and I play now that you let it out.

@SJ: I’m not sure if that was English; but I am reasonably sure it isn’t what I’m after. I am converting a weapon chart from a board game into a Mod and the chart has the hit probabilities. I want to use these same probabilities so I needed help figuring the formula.

I suppose it was more math & geometry than english.
Just throwing that into a hit-chance discussion.

1/r and 1/r^2 are fundamental ratios in distance equations (such as gravitational force).
