[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8090486, member: 6701124"] I'm not sure the ratio of bonuses is the thing to use here, instead of the change in percentages and the relative risks. The 25% sounds a lot bigger than saying it affects 5% of the rounds the +4 guy tries an action in. The move from +10 to +11 also affects 5% of the rounds an action is tried in-- assuming they aren't trying really easy things. And if the ACs of the opponents move up with the characters the relative risk for with bonus-to-without bonus would be the same in both cases too. If the ACs of the opponents haven't moved up with the bonuses then the +4 guy does have a bigger benefit measured by ratio of probabilities than the +10 guy. So even though its only affecting 5% of the rounds it will be more important in taking the monster down. But it has to be a monster that's pretty hard to hit to get 25% better - needing a 17 or higher to hit without the bonus (17 to 16 is 20% to 25% so RR=.25/.2=1.25). [/QUOTE]
