May have been better if I replaced the word "state" with "mention".
I'd still like to know where the failure rate can be tweaked without fishing through hundreds of files though, if anyone knows?

If you have h.sie's patches installed, look in your game folder for a file named
hsie.ini. Open it in Notepad (or your preferred text editor) and scan down until you find:

I've never tried changing the settings, so I don't have a recommendation. If you find settings you like, please do post here and share your results with the community. Thanks.
I'm assuming that you have h.sie's patches installed. If you don't, then I urge you to get both h.sie's and Stiebler's path kits and add them. Together they add about two dozen great improvements to the game.
