When you get one of the 3 melee skills to expert/master level [Blunt, Blade or Hand-to-Hand] your power attack will randomly do a knockdown/paralyze effect, respectively.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So, here are the questions:

-What is the formula for determining how often a knockdown/paralyze effect will occur when I perform my power attack?

-Which attribute/skill, if any, affects how often this occurs?

-Does the luck stat increase the % that the knockdown/paralyze effect from power attacks will occur more/less often?

Thanks for anyone able to help.

I have not seen anything about the formula for determining this.

if jeff doesn't know about it, it probably doesn't exist.

omg, I have never seen you stumped on anything except matters relating only to the 360.

There is a formula, I am just not able to find it. I've looked/searched everywhere I can think.

Is there any way I can contact one of the designers to ask this question?

I was going to recommend here: http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index ... ck+Formula As sometimes the Dev's check, and reply. However, I see you have not any luck.

Luck has an influance on EVERYTHING. The allwise wiki says so. Wiki has spoken.

Can you confirm that having increased luck WILL in fact make your power attack special effects happen more/less often?

Anyone that can help feel free to post.

stupid question but do power attacks happen randomly as well as the effects or do you do a power attack and the effect is random?

You specifically do the power attack, and the "bonus" effects happen sometimes but not always.

Ahh I see, thanks a lot! I've yet to make a guy that has got to that level in weaponry yet. I'm thinking of taking an Orc Axe'er into the Arena tho and give it a try

Speaking from limited experience but my last few Masters of Blade rarely disarmed/knocked down opponents. Maybe 1/50 ratio of success/attempt.

I need to confirm something about power attacks.
