Sorrow you didn't get it.
I just want to remove the character %, not change anything in the formula.

I agree with the idea of removing the % from AC and BC. I would even go along with renaming them to Attack Skill and Block Skill. I disagree with removing ECC though. CS on it's own is very deceptive. Adding 10 to a CS of 35 only increases ECC by 4%, and knowing this will affect what gear players choose. I think it would be better to display CS and ECC on one line though, like this: Critical hit skill: 34 (Effective critical chance 21%). That should remove any confusion (although it won't look as tidy :| ) .

When I'm in combat and I look at the monsters stats I would also like to see my actual chance of hitting, and my actual chance of being hit.

IMHO: That would be giving the players too much information.

Yes, on reflection I think you are right. I can easily put a spreadsheet on my phone / tablet that calculates this anyway.

Agree on removing the %. It serves no purpose what so ever.

I agree with you

I feel like the % are misleading to players who might not have stumbled upon the forums or hasn't become familiar with how the combat system actually works.

Having over 100% AC makes it seem like you should always make contact.

I admit to having that misconception when I started.

I did as well, I have also brought up the idea of removing the "%" symbols from the AC, BC, ETC stats before too.

I'm still a fan of this idea.
