Knockdown...

The highest percentage chance of a knockdown was supposed to be just over 40% the last time I read anything on the mechanic. I swear, the chance of me being knocked down seems to be about 90-95% with any weapon heavier than a stick. Has the formula been changed, has someone written some kind of knockdown hack or am I just seriously unlucky?

if user_id == "Elmetiacos":
    if random.random() < 0.87:
        trigger_knockdown()

That can be explained with combination of a severe case of selective perception and lack of understanding how percentages work.

Ah, I see. Percentages are out of 50, not out of 100 as I had previously thought. Or thought I had.
