/shrug

I havent tested that much at all but there does seem to be hidden variables that take place.

I had one of my better agents trying to kill another assasin and his chance was about 70%. Even loading 5 times I would either miss or get caught/killed.

Possibly different victims have hidden resistance thats not being displayed correctly, I dont know but over 50% chance of success shld be hit or miss alot more than what it seems or I have rotten luck.

My King is malevolent now and has title master of assasins wth the new agent recruitment I have done the last few turns.
