That statement is true. 140 ranks of SL:SS only ensures webbing when the target is exactly the same level as the caster. There's a bonus or penalty, depending on who is higher. The formula is: |

30 + (SL:SS ranks / 2) ± (level difference)^2 = % chance to web |

Lore effect and level penalty
What is the source of this part about web bolts: "Over training will offset any additional level penalty" for webbing the target based on lores vs. level difference? It is not present in the official documentation. It was added to the page on 28 Oct 2009 so there may have been a post around that time. The current wording is not clear on what the overtraining bonus is, and whether it has any effect beyond 140 ranks. ZHOUY1 (talk) 14:34, 9 August 2017 (CDT)
