View source for Damage and Knockback Routine (Dash, tackle, throw stone)

Calculate XA * 1..Y damage, and then have a chance for knockback.                   

Chance for knockback is random (meaning the chance itself):

 0..(atkr.Br - 1) / target.Br

The actual chance should be the probability of:

 0..(atkr.Br - 1) >= 0..(target.Br - 1)

which is roughly

 atkr.Br / (atkr.Br + target.Br)
