So my adventure has a fame sword fighting of 85. Not to bad, though I have not been to an academy for a while to know what the actual score is. I'm wondering just how many people are in that top 15%?
My understanding is that 15% of the characters should be in the top 15%.
Actually I am quite sure that is wrong because the number should be proportionate to the best, not a percentile ranking.
Oooo, my Advy has a 91 for Adventuring, and a 31 for Infiltration, bafflingly. Advies gain Infiltration skill?
If that is true, no one on this continent has more than 15% infiltration skill. I find that unlikely.
An how do you know the infiltration skill of every character on the continent...?
If its proportional and Velax's advy had the standard 5%, with a rank of 31 that would put the top character at 15% roughly.
I have said several times that it is not linear.
So the number means very little without the formula?
It means quite a lot, but you can not extrapolate from it to other characters, and that's intentional - otherwise it would give away too much information.But still a higher value means your are closer to the top and a low number means you are far away. And a number above, say, 90, means you are one of the best.
