CoHs System?

Hey all. I was wondering if CoH ran on a D20 system? Someone told me it was on a 100 system but I thought when I first started playing coh way back in the day (5 yr vet here), that they said it was a d20.

Can someone please let me know what it is?

Thanks.

Considering the percentage on hit rolls is in hundredths, it's more like a d10000. >_>


If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.

It's not a "d" anything system. It uses floating point random number generators and checks the results against thresholds.

A d20 system would be based on even intervals of 5% thresholds on checking for success.

In contrast, CoH success rolls can be against essentially arbitrary values like 44.273% (a wholly made up number).

Most numbers in the game are displayed rounded to the hundredths or thousandths, and most base values are expressed as things like 0.65 or 1.125, but calculated final values are, as far as we know, not rounded except for display purposes.
