Depending on whether a person is a Pessimist or an Optimist can influence whether a player considers 50% good odds or bad, which influences how the player reacts to other characters with greater accuracy. The mental gulf on accuracy tends to be greater between 50% and 75% than 60% and 85%Actual that is the logic used to rationalize the occurrence and need of wealth-by-level guidelines by scapegoating accuracy bonuses. The actual source of wealth-by-level guidelines is the want of players (and designers who prefer to be players) to have rule based guarantees that they will get what they want at a time acceptable to them.Sorry, but that is very naive. Bonuses that increase character effectiveness will always be preferred (by a decent percentage of the player-base) over more interesting effects if given a choice. When players using those bonuses begin to complain that the monsters/opponents are to easy, and designers start making monsters/opponents that take those damage bonuses into account those bonuses will become de facto necessary.Also the lack of accuracy bonuses will not increase the amount of existing design space. The amount of design space available has remained constant throughout the all editions of D&D, but the amount of design space focused on and utilized has shrunk severely since the introduction of wealth-by-level guidelines and player controlled crafting in 3rd edition as players became the ones in control of how magic items appeared in game.</blockquote>
