Morrowind talk:Willpower

I'm wondering if, for example, I have 100 willpower will I also have 100% resist paralysis?

With 100 willpower you will succeed in gaining 100% resist paralysis when hit by such spells anywhere between 100%+ and 31% of the time.

This variance is based off the enemies spell casting chance versus your saving chance.

If the spell hits while in some buggy areas of maps like when standing in water sometimes it wont apply the % spell casting chance and will result in comparing '0% chance to cast' to '125% chance to save' and won't receive a reduction to the saving chance resulting in 125% chance to save.

So what this translates to is that willpower doesn't guarantee a 100% chance to resist paralysis ever unless you got enough willpower to resist even the most powerful paralysis spells.(as in highest 'chance to cast' paralysis spells in the game.)

Made some tests.

100 WIL vs 100 chance = 50% resist chance.

200 WIL vs 200 chance = 50% resist chance.

100 WIL vs 200 chance = 25% resist chance.

So, resist chance ~ (WIL/2)/CastChance*100.

There is also LUC, but it's not the usual .5 of the WIL, it seems to be more like .1.

Also multiply by standard fatigue function in the end.

Silence can't be resisted. Tried at 100 casting chance vs 5000 of every stat - worked every time.

Can anyone confirm?
