Frequency
A check is done every 12.5 seconds (0.83 real second):
- The character meets an opponent if a random number between 0 and his unnoticeability is 0 (probability = (1 / (unnoticeability + 1) %).
For example, at each check:
- A character having an unnoticeability of 32 (initial value) has a probability of 3% to meet an encounter.
- A character having an unnoticeability of 0 always meets an opponent.
The higher the unnoticeability, the lower the encounter frequency.
The checks are done in establishmeents too, that's why the character often encounters someone when leaving.
The following graph gives the cumulated probabilities for various unnoticeability values.
We can see that:
| Unnoticeability | ~99% reached at |
|---|
| Real | Ingame |
|---|
| 16 | 1 mn | 15 mn |
|---|
| 32 | 2 mn | 30 mn |
|---|
| 48 | 3 mn | 45 mn |
|---|
If the character heading is near a wall, another heading is chosen to let the opponent come in (there's no relationship with being surprised).
Creation
The opponent is chosen according to the situation:
- The location of the character: indoor or outdoor.
- The weather: rainy or not.
- The character invisibility (if raining, the character invisibility is cancelled just before the selection).
- The current time of the day.
| Location | Rainy | Invisible | Time | Situation |
|---|
| Indoor | | N | 6h - 19h | Day |
|---|
| 19h - 6h | Night |
|---|
| Y | | Invisible |
|---|
| Outdoor | N | N | 6h - 19h | Day |
|---|
| 19h - 6h | Night |
|---|
| Y | | Invisible |

Strength, intelligence, skill, speed and hit points stats are increased according to the character level:
- stat = Random [base stat minimum; base stat maximum] + character level / 2
A primary weapon (and armor) is chosen among the opponent weapons (and armor) list.
A secondary weapon (and armor) distinct from the primary is chosen if the list contains more than 1 item.
Even if the opponent holds 2 weapons and 2 pieces of armor, only the primaries are used.
Melody
The type of the melody played when the character encounters someone depends on the opponent alignment. The melody is then randomly selected among the type.
The 2 last ones of the type C are almost identical, human hearing can't discern the different tone used.
