[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 6917223, member: 59057"] It is even more. It is not as easy as 1+1=2 but we are talking about statistics. The important thing to know about statistic is that you can only make good calculation if you have more than a single attack roll. The more rolls you do, the better your estimations. And all those estimations are only correct if over all those rolls the conditions don't change. And then we are back on the thing you pointed out.
