Making Curse into a passive ability.

For the RPG im gonna make, there will be some footmen type units. Some of these units will have an "Inexperience" passive ability which among other things makes the footmen have a % chance to miss their target.
How do I do this without having to cast curse on them repeatedly?

Off hand I cant think of any other abilities dealing with a chance to miss. You may have to cast an edited curse with a very long duration to get this effect

hmm.. ya long curse is the best thing i can think of using curse.. but you could make a chance to do less damage with a negative critical strike if thats possible. or maybe even you can make critical strike have a % chance to deal -100% damage. prolly not possible

Hmm, i want to try to stay away from Curse as it is dispellable. I'll work with Critical Strike in the morning and see what comes up. Thanks for the help so far.

The Bash ability has a field in it that is "Chance to miss" just set the "Chance to Bash" to 0 and then up the Chance to miss to whatever you want.

bash makes you miss? maybe its just the chance to miss the bash... unless theres another field for it:\

It might be interesting to note that buff spells can take effect immediately when an attack event is triggered.

Since these footmen are melee units, you can easily implement a trigger that creates a dummy unit to cast a 1-second curse on the footmen each time they attack. That should minimize any dispell trouble you might have.

I'm just guessing here that the miss field on bash is similar to the miss field on drunken brawler - it gives you a chance that others can miss you.

I think a chance to do a crit strike with a multiplier of 0 is probably the best way to implement this.

Critical Strike doesn't seem to work if the multiplier is set to 0. So either set it to 0.01 or -0.01. If critical strike is in the negatives it won't show the numbers, but if it is at 0.01 as long as 1% of the footman's attack is low enough, it should show a 0

Critical Strike worked with multiplyer set to .01. Even tho the footman did 1 damage when he "missed" that's enough leeway for me. Thanks to all who helped.
