When I speak of a "hit" I am talking about a blow that makes contact and has the potianial to deal damage. Armor makes it more difficult to score a "hit" not deal damage (i.e. it has no aftect on the prossece of rolling damage). D20 makes no mechanical provision for the penetration of armor as opposed to the circumvention of that armor with regard to the bonus to hit. Since the ability to overcome armor is resolved when you roll your attack you do not have to reevaluate your ability to penetrate the tragets armor. It does not realy matter why the Enchantment bonus to hit works just how (mechanically). If you have rules that provide for the reevaluation of you attack bonus after the attack was rolled or a rule based reson why the archer should not get the bonus to hit I would be intersed in hearing it.Note: When I use game terms I try to use the in-game definition rather than the actual dictionary definition. This may have caused some confusion since by hit I did not mean make contact but score a successful attack. I am sorry for any misunderstanding.</blockquote>
