100% pain chance
According to Dehacked (and the respective actor's entries here on the wiki), the player, lost soul, and Romero's head all have 255 pain chance. This is translated to 100%. But something is wrong. As I understand, pain chance is out of 256, which would mean that 255 pain chance would translate to 99.61%, not 100%. However, if we assume that pain chance is actually out of 255, then that throws off every other pain chance calculation. Examples: I could go on, but you get the idea. If pain chance is really out of 256 and not 255, then the real pain% for the player, lost soul, and Romero head is (255*100)/256=99.61%. --Reaper with no name 04:33, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Arachnotron: 128 pain chance
 * (128*100)/256=50% (agrees with wiki)
 * (128*100)/255=50.20% (doesn't agree with wiki)
 * Mancubus: 80 pain chance
 * (80*100)/256=31.25% (agrees with wiki)
 * (80*100)/255=31.37% (doesn't agree with wiki)
