[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8382518, member: 7030563"] This is overstating the benefit, because any time you can use eleven accuracy you would not be hitting "normally". You have to have advantage for Elven accuracy to do anything at all so it is not correct to compare 93% to 60%. If you hit 60% of the time "normally", most of the time Elven accuracy will be useless and you will still hit 60%. If you have advantage it will increase it from 84% to 93% as you noted. To elaborate a little further if you assume you have advantage on 25% of your attacks (which is more than typical in my games) you overall hit rate is 69% with elven accuracy and 66% without elven accuracy. So out of every 100 attacks you will hit 3 more times with elven accuracy if you need a 9+ to hit and have advantage 25% of the time. If you "normally" hit 30% of the time when you have advantage your accuracy will increase from 49% to 66%. Again if you have advantage 25% of the time your overall accuracy is 39% with Elven accuracy and 35% without elven accuracy. Again out of 100 attacks you hit 4 more times when you need a 15+ to hit and have advantage 25% of the time. [/QUOTE]
