This article is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Add effect of Combat in darkness precept (if it applies to the stat/pawn directly and isn't applied elsewhere). |
Melee Dodge Chance is a stat: Chance to dodge a melee attack that would've otherwise hit. Characters will not dodge while aiming or firing a ranged weapon. Its minimum allowed value is 0%. Its maximum allowed value is 80%. Its default value is 100%.
Base score[edit]
First, a base score, which we'll call M, is computed by adding up Melee skill and a few other modifiers:
- Melee: skill level (0 to 20)
- Moving: 1800% importance. No Max.
- For example, each bionic leg gives +12.5% or +0.125 Moving, which at 18x yields +2.25.
- Sight: 800% importance, 140% limit
- For example, one bionic eye and one normal eye gives 118.75% Sight, and 0.1875 x 8 yields +1.5.

- Melee specialist role: +7.0
- Melee specialist's Berserk Trance: +8.0
Post-processing curve[edit]
Base score to Dodge Chance |
---|
The above graph shows how your base score M corresponds to the final Dodge Chance.
- From a base score of M ≤ 5, Dodge Chance is 0%
- From a base score of 5 < M ≤ 20, Dodge Chance increases by 2% per increase in base score.
- From a base score of 20 < M ≤ 60, Dodge Chance increases by 0.5% per increase in base score.
- Beyond a base score of 60, there is no increase in Dodge Chance (will be capped at 50%).
In other words, there are diminishing returns beyond 20 dodge chance base score (30% dodge chance): each point exceeding that yields 1/4 the benefit, before reaching a hard cap at 60 (50% dodge chance). For a normal pawn with melee 5, replacing a leg with an archotech leg would yield +4.5 base score and +9% dodge chance; but if it had melee 20, then the new leg would yield only +2.25% dodge chance.
A maxed-out pawn with two archotech eyes (150% Sight, capped at 140% -> +3.2 base chance), two archotech legs and a bionic heart (158% Moving -> +10.44 base chance), the Nimble trait (+15), and level 20 melee has a base dodge chance of M=48.64 and a resulting Melee Dodge Chance of 44.32%. Go-juice raises it to 49%. Adding in luciferium, wake-up, and fibrous mechanites yields M=73.5, which would translate into a 56.75% dodge chance if not for the hard cap at 50%.

Analysis[edit]
Base score to Effective Health Multiplier |
---|
When considering effective health ("eHP") instead of dodge chance, however, the diminishing returns beyond 20 largely disappear, though there are no returns above 60 (50% dodge chance = 2x eHP).
Intuitively, while each point exceeding 20 only gives 1/4 the dodge chance, dodge chance is more valuable the more you already have; the numbers work out such that these effects almost cancel out (see graph).
Note that capping out eHP by reaching 60 is very difficult in practice; even a Nimble (+15 points) 20 Melee skill (+20 points) pawn with 200% Moving (+18 points) and 140%+ Sight (+3.2 points) would only have a score of 56.2 (~1.93x eHP). Without Nimble, it would take ~304% Moving (+36.8 points) to max out dodge chance and eHP at 60 points.
