RNG

RNG stands for Random Number Generator. It is the device that allows Kevan to institute random chance actions and determines success or failure for all actions.
It is sometimes believed that the RNG will provide a linear success rate, 10 successes in 100 for a 10% skill/effect, 35 out of 100 for a 35% skill/effect, etc.
Unfortunately, the RNG used by Urban Dead is not perfect. The number for a 33% chance should approach 1/3 the more you perform the action, but in fact, does not. This is because the RNG is actually a pRNG. A Psuedo Random Number Generator. And the pRNG used by Urban Dead is liable to give you strings of "bad luck."
