    In theory yes.

    Mind you, the game makes a 90% chance of successfully upgrading an item fail 95% of the time, so who knows?

    i dont get it, shouldnt mitigation should be fixed number or game calculates in a diffrent way which would make the racial mitigate less than %6 percent like %3 which would make the racial insignificant?

    In theory it should calculate what 6% of incoming damage is, possibly rounding down and factions, and subtract it.

    But a number of people have found that figures for various things are wrong, either the tool tip is wrong for a number skills, or the game does base maths wrong. Or both.

    I haven't created a Nord, so I can't comment on it's racials, but I seem to recall a thread in the racial skills about it being bugged/broken.

    Not had a 100% chance fail since they fixed it.

    But if you use enough tempers to get the chance of success to 90%, it succeeds once out of every twenty.

    Which is why we all get the percentage up to 100%, anything less is asking for failure.
