[1.06.15] Deception skill is deceptive

The skill tooltip says: "Helps in defensive combat in hexes that provide entrenchment"
Yet I just attacked a city on a ruins tile with some walkers and had a deception mod to the attack rolls. Not only that but the mod was unusual in that it wasn't fixed for the whole battle like other mods but varied even for the same unit in the same combat round - sometimes adding just a few dozen percent, sometimes none at all and once even a whopping +399%. This is with an OHQ commander that has a deception skill of 127.
Not sure if bug or undocumented feature.

It does make sensse for Deception to be rolled every comnbat round. A single roll could cause realy extreme values for the whole combat. Rolling often results in Randomness evening out.
+399% for a 127 roll seems not that extreme. Especially not for a single subunit, for a single combat turn. Should still be properly indicated however.

Can you send a save file to
vic@vrdesigns.net from which I can repeat that attack on the ruins tile ?
Would like to take a closer look as it should indeed not apply to the attacker.
best wishes,
Vic

What about the part where it is rerolled every Combat Round? Is that intentional?
