06-02-05, 03:56 PM So, if someone has both active on them, and someone fires a bow at them, is it a 40% miss chance or two seperate 20% miss chance rolls?

However, in this case, as Darkness is concealment and Entropic shield is a deflecting thing, you get two seperate 20% miss chances

Note, this gives a miss chance mathematically equivlent to 36%, slightly worse than a straight 40% chance.
