I'm trying out a formula based on the users and victims int+dex compared. This is it so far:
    chance = (((get_curr_dex(victim) + get_curr_int(victim)) 
            -  (get_curr_dex(ch)     + get_curr_int(ch))) * 4) + number_range( 1, 50);

It's compared to number_range, and if number_range is greater, the skill will succeed.

But I don't really like it. People with decent dex and int can never get hit by the skill. Does anyone have any insight on how to improve this so it's never really impossible to dodge, only really hard if the victim has good dex+int?

What about a logrithmic/exponential formula? Then you can tweak the rate of change and limits and such to suit your needs.

If you have a 'nominal' curve for the equation, then it shouldn't be too hard to find a couple of equations to fit the curve, both logrithmic, and not.

I thought about a exponential formula, but I also thought about doing it with UMIN or something of the sort along with number_range. Something like number_range( 1, chance ) == 1 where chance is greater if it's harder.
