think of this as like rolling a di
a 100 sided di, to be precise
so, 100 sided di, anything above 50 is successful and anything below 50 is a failure
however, the number you get can increase and decrease based on those values above
Level: (InflictLevelStatistic - ResistLevelStatistic)/2
typically your inflict level stat is the pwrlvl of the item. A guardian item at level 150 is 153
lets say the monster is 130
thats (153 - 130) / 2 = 11.5
so, whatever you roll on your di will get + 11.5
the same logic applies to your major and minor
so say it's INT and you have 250, the monster has 0.
That's (250 - 0)/ 5 = 50, but it's capped to 20
in this scenario, your di would currently have roll + 11.5 + 20
the same logic applies to your minor and your added bonuses, which covers things like fear potency
at the end of that process, you add up your totals, if it's over 50, success, below 50 you fail.
this means, if you have +100 for whatever reason, you're guaranteed to inflict
and, if you're fighting a level 500 you're destined to fail

Does this mean that major and minor status rolls have the same potency? Or are they capped differently?

Minor: (MinorInflictStatistic - MinorResistStatistic)/10, minimum -10, maximum +10

I understand that the [minor stat] will be apart of the save. I am just curious if you can have a high enough (main stat) to offset a build with no luck? I understand that it may not be the most efficient build, but is it possible?
