Missing is no fun.  This is absolutely the best reason to get as many attack bonuses as possible.  If your character is a single target type of character and he misses his one attack in the round, that's 15 to 30 minutes that you have to wait to roll more dice, or to manipulate the battlefield, or to buff your allies with a rider.  Whatever you wanted to do, you didn't get to do, which sucks.  My characters tend to be multi-attack characters with very high attack bonuses, not because I want to be the baddest character on the table, but because I want to have an impact.</blockquote>
