Is it a %-tage to block incoming missiles or what?
If it is, does it stack with "air shield" (spell, items, bless) ?

A.

No. We don't know what the formula that is used to calculate a hit with a missile weapon is either.

The old Dom1 manual says that distance, precision, attack skill, maximum range of the weapon, size of the unit, number of units in the square, and shields all factor in the chance of hitting a square first, and then hitting the unit in the square. But nothing else than that.
