Star Wars Hit Probability Equation
P[hit] = 1 (over)
n + (x + 1) ^3 + (J + 1) ^10
where n is the number of "bad guys", x is the number of "good guys", and J is the number of Jedi present (if any). The equation reads, "The probability of a bad guy hitting his target is equal to the inverse of: all bad guys present plus the cube of the number of good guys present (plus one) plus the number of Jedi present (plus one) to the tenth power." From this, one can infer that the presence of a good guy has a detrimental effect on the bad guys' accuracy, while having even one Jedi present is a veritable death sentence, as well as being more inaccurate in larger numbers.
The inverse ninja law
p= [ae] (over)
N
where p is equal to the average ninja power (anp) of the group, ae is the elite jib constant, which represents the power of a lone ninja, and N is equal to the number of ninja in a group. Following those rules, the ratio for determining the relative skill of any enemy group of ninja is ae divided by N. In layman's terms, the more enemy ninjas there are, the weaker each individual ninja is (unless the lone ninja is left in a near dead state to fight a larger battle at a later date).
