What does Attack +1 means ? Gauntlets of warmaster
Gauntlets of warmaster item gives Attack +1 but I don't understrand what that means. Can someone help ?

Edit 1 : I'm sorry that I wrote it in a way that was misunderstood. Game both uses +1 Attack roll and +1 Attack features and when I click on +1 Attack I can't inspect it.

Edit 2: Inventory UI gets bugged with sharpshooter and attack roll giving items. Item gives +1 Attack roll and it only shows in fight log and looks like it gives -1 Attack roll in Inventory UI. So +1 Attack means +1 Attack roll and it works but sometimes doesnt show on UI

This is confusing because i had a pair of gloves that gave attack + 1 and another gloves with attack roll + 1 . Why we even have 2 different terms.thanks mate
As attribute it should only say "Attack +X" or "Skill +X" or "Ability Saving Throws +X"
It should only use the term "roll" if it is inside a description.

It gives you +1 to attack rolls.

I have the same question , wtf is attack + 1 , why not to say attack roll + 1

Because the game differentiates between attack rolls and damage rollls.
An attack roll decides wether you hit, a damage roll decides how man damage you do.
The roll part becomes optional, since the difference is obvious.

So attack is damage roll?

attack roll means your chance to hit, and damage roll is as advertise. dice is rolled in the background, and whatever that invisible dice is rolled you get a +1 to the number towards success chance

I know how 5e works but it does not changes Attack roll chance, I bought it and tried still can't find what it changes and I cannot inspect it either.

D&D term. +1 atk means +1 to atk rolls. Atk roll being the roll you need to see if you hit.

You know how 5e works? Your initial post contradicts that statement.

Do you have medium armor proficiency on the character wearing them?

Yeah my character is fighter
+1 to hit
or 5% chance to hit
It's +1 to your attack roll dice.

Example:
Enemy has 14 AC (armor class) and you roll a D20 (Dice that go up to 20) to hit your target. Imagine that the outcome of your roll was a 13, meaning you will miss. If you have +1 attack that 13 becomes a 14 and you have enough to match the ac of your enemy, hitting him for x amount of damage. The game just converts these numbers into percentages.
