Evade Question

[Alcyreues]

So pretty much what the title is, I have a question about Evade.
I've seen many clothing with a negative mark on them, such as Ninja clothing. Just to make sure does that increase the chances of evade? It wouldn't make sense to me otherwise

It says in the Squad notebook (or whatever it's called) that the lower the Evade the higher the chances, so I guess that's just how it works.

Edit:

I looked it up again in the Squad Handbook and it's under
05-J: Attack/Accuracy/Endurance/Defense

Evade Chance
The lower this value, the higher your chance to evade attacks.

Yeah, lower is better. It's really weird.

[Alcyreues]

Thank you guys, was really confused for a sec.

Its not really weird, just a normal THAC0 system used in a lot of old rpg like wizardry or dnd 2.0. This game is kinda wizardry clone so it uses the same system for both evade and accuracy.

^ To explain the above post, if anyone is unfamiliar with old THAC0 systems.

THAC0 = "To hit armor class 0." It works by directly subtracting armor class from the roll to hit. D&D 2nd edition, for example, had unarmored as AC10 and chainmail (reacing for this as an example since I remember using it personally) as AC5. At level 1, most (I want to say all, but I just know there's some obscure gimmick class that will correct me) classes have a THAC0 of 20, meaning it takes a roll of 10 to land a hit against someone with no armor, and a roll of 15 to get past someone's chainmail.

It may seem unintuitive (lower numbers being better) but consider the simplicity of the math; it keeps the turns going by quickly.
