Included, I think, should be the relative difficulty of the weapon. Even a
skilled fighter has trouble hitting someone with a badly-weighted piece of
lead pipe...

My only comment here is that you might want to chance the armour context. A
heavily armoured knight will be less able to 'dodge' blows than an
unarmoured thief.
IMO it should work out that two characters of the same ability and health
hit (and damage) each other 50% of the time, on average.
>My damage formula is pretty poor (not that the others are any
>good) and uses the strengths of the attacker and defender and the

>(attacker - defender)*((100-armourClass)/100)
IMO, some relevance to the damage potential of the weapon used should be
included
e.g [*(weapon damage/100)]. Also, the strength of the attacker vs. the
toughness of the defender.
Hope this helps
