[QUOTE="Elric, post: 5109310, member: 1139"] Many people interpret these types of probabilities wrong in making decisions. Suppose you currently get hit 10% of the time by AC attacks and 80% of the time by FRW attacks. FRW attacks and AC attacks are equally common, equally damaging/status effect inflicting, and tend to come in equally difficult encounters. (Edit: worded these conditions poorly before) The equal FRW and AC targeting isn't because opponents are targeting you based on what your strengths and weaknesses are; it's essentially random. Likewise, you can't specifically target enemies that attack your FRWs instead of AC to kill first. Opponents always hit you on a 19 vs AC (16 vs. FRW) and miss on a 1 without the natural 1s rule (messed up this condition the first time). Which do you prefer: +1 to AC or +4 to all FRWs? There are more considerations that would go into a serious analysis of the issue. See above. [/QUOTE]
