CORRECTION REGARDING CHOP/CLEAVE'S CHANCE TO WORK:
The values in the slides are also modified by Tapeta's Condition, as follows:

Cursed: -75%
Tired: neutral
Fine: + 10%
Good: + 25%
Great: + 50%

So its accuracy can be reasonable, if Tapeta's condition is high enough.

DREAM BREATH'S EXACT CHANCE TO WORK:
Note that Poison Attack, Zombie Attack, Poison Breath, Miasma (Joker), & Zombie Breath also work via the following formula:

PC Resistance X Caster Bonus
-------------------------------------------------
256

The product of that formula (rounded down) is the monster's chance out of 64.

The PC's Resistance is determined via their Luck, and is based on the following chart:

0-31: 32
32-63: 30
64-95: 28
96-127: 26
128-159: 24
160-191: 22
192-223: 20
224-255: 18

The monster's Caster Bonus is determined by their "monster level", and is based on the following chart:

0-15: 12
16-31: 25
32-47: 38
48-63: 51
64-79: 64
80-95: 76 (No enemy is higher than 80--dunno why the upper values exist)
96-111: 89
112-127: 102

As for Aspara's Dream Breath (which she uses on you during a failed Spore attempt), she is using what was supposed to be an "enemy only" skill--one that uses the enemy's "monster level" (which can be found in BSiron's FAQ for each monster... though he calls it "Luck").

Since Aspara doesn't HAVE a "monster level", the game mistakenly uses her current helmet instead (which there are only 7 of, despite what my slides said). The values are as follows:

Bandana, SaladBwl/Headband, & Circlet: 87
Sun Mask or Silver Tiara: 88
Glass Helm or CrmsnRB/Red Scarf: 236

So if Aspara were to use Dream Breath on, say, Sten (115 Luck), and she were wearing a Bandana, the formula would be as follows:

26 (Sten's Resistance) X 87 (Aspara's Accuracy)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
256

The product of that formula (rounded down) would be 7. Thus, Aspara has a 7/64 chance to put Sten to sleep. But, if she were to wear a Glass Helm or Red Scarf, that chance would jump to 23/64 (more than triple, despite what my slides said).
