How to create a low accuracy, high damage attack?

[ddblue]

Hey everyone, I was curious what approaches there are for creating a single-target, low accuracy, high damage attack.

Specifically, I'd like an attack that has a 60% chance to hit, but would do triple the damage of a normal attack if it did.

I did some searching but most info was old, and I couldn't figure it out. Any advice would be appreciated!

Set Success rate to 60%, then use this as the formula: (attack)*3 - where attack is a copy of the formula used for regular attack.

Possibly dumb question, but will a success rate of 60% mean that the attack doesn't execute 40% of the time?

What I'd like is for the attack to execute 100% of the time, but only result in a hit 60% of the time, and a miss 40% of the time.

I'll try what you suggested and see how it works.

Edit: You were absolutely right, and it worked as you suggested. Thanks very much!
