Now the Graze mastery is a no brainer, but it lacks any connection to weapons used or defense skill of the target and seeking more AC from cover and/or disadvantage.
New graze:
when you miss your target AC by 5 or less, you deal half damage.
You cannot trigger any on-hit effects like Sneak attack, Smite, maneuvers, Hunter's mark, Hex, Conjure minor elementals(hehe), etc...
Things like weapon enchantments, fighting styles, rage or similar bonuses would work, but in the end they would be halved after rolling for damage.
this version respects both targets defense and attackers skill in the way that it still allows for attack to do nothing and that skills narrows or widens the window of doing nothing.
So looking for advantage/disadvantage/cover/buffs/debuffs all still affect percentage of doing 0 damage.
In normal attack/AC range, Graze will trigger reliably on 25% of attacks, unless hit chance is very high or very low.
