[QUOTE="catsclaw, post: 4129390, member: 59911"] Well, that depends on when during an attack the dice get rolled. You seem to think there's no time between rolling an attack and the attacker making contact with their target. It's just as valid to think of the "to hit" roll happening just as you begin an attack--the slight pause when you finish pulling a sword back and start swinging it forward, or the moment when your bow string is completely taut, or the moment when the magical energy stops tingling at the tip of your finger and starts surging forward. A lot of the reroll abilities make a lot more sense if you think about them this way. The ogre raises his club high in the air. Just as it starts to fall, the wizard mutters an arcane syllable. The rogue seems to shift a foot to the left, and the ogre is forced to adjust his aim midswing. The elven ranger pulls back on her bow, aiming at the ogre's eye. At the last possible instant she notices a subtle shift in the wind, and corrects for it. [/QUOTE]
