100% pain chance

According to Dehacked (and the respective actor's entries here on the wiki), the player 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:

• 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)

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 and Romero's head is (255*100)/256=99.61%. --Reaper with no name 04:33, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
