Re: Can anyone tell me what the algorithms behind the stats are?

the other games have been around a long time and greatly disected.

I'd disagree. The Diablo I and II strategy is on battle.net, which is owned by Blizzard. Fallout I and II have math in the manual. The Spiderweb games aren't direct, but they're designed so it's REALLY easy to figure out what's ...
