And there the effective dpr does not go up a lot.On the other hand, if you try to apply a stunning effect that is wasted if you miss, missing 5% more often can be a real pain...And it was actually said, that you get bonuses to to hit. And any bonus you get is a real bonus. Explicitely in one of the recent articles. A fighter most surely gets class based bonuses to to-hit. But it is not expected in the math. Which means, a class like the wizard will still be able to hit and defend himself in combat later on. But a fighter will hit most monsters quite often. Which will be taken into account in his personal advancement table and calcualted in the fighter´s expeted dpr per level.If you look at the numbers you will notice, that the default assumtion seems to be hitting at 55%:Leather armor with no bonus and proficient weapon with no bonus cancel each other out. So you are at a point, where hitting 5% more often is nice, but not gamebreaking if you hit 5% less often.In the worst case you attack with a +2 bonus against AC 16. Which should not happen, if you are expecting to be in combat once in a while.So mor realistic is attacking with a +5 bonus against AC 16. In the worst case. Here another +1 bonus would be about 10% increase in dpr. Which is noticeable, but not gamebreakingly so.So if this should be another: if you don´t put a 20 into your main stat or you are screwed argument, you are wrong.</blockquote>
