Modifier to crushing blow chance ($cm): if ((CL * 5) < DEF)), ((CL * 5) - (DEF * .02)), else 0
- in other words, if your defense is below 300 at level 60, or 295 at 59, etc., you suffer a 2% penalty -- reflected in an increased chance of getting crushed -- per point of defense below your maximum unbuffed defense.

You got your conditionals mucked up here and a bad paren on the true condition, should be.

if (DEF < (CL*5)) , (((CL * 5) - DEF) * 0.02) , else 0

at least that matches your explanation. Your formula says, If your max possible defense for you level is less than your current defense you have a crushing blow modifier of your max possible defense for you level minus 2% of your current defense. Or an example if you had 290 def at L60 you would have a CB modifier of 294.2%. Well actually it would be zero based on the error in the conditional because 300 is not less than 290. :)
