What is Attack +1 meaning?
Does it mean additional attack per turn? or something else?

It's from Gauntlets of the War Master.

1+ attack means higher hit chance. and damage you can see it on weapons as well. the higher the + the higher your hitchance and damage. So good quality weapons are vital.

If ever you are wondering what a ceartain stat or description means, Press T while hovering over an item. Then you can mouse over the word and it will explain in detail.

Just means if you need a 12 to hit and if you roll an 11, you'll roll a 12 because of the +1. I mean there's a lot of other factors in play in most cases im sure.

i feel like the wording can be very missleading, like why does someone call a hit chance increase "attack"?

it means +1 to the dice roll.

Some games do that, attack for hit chance. Damage/power for... Damage/power...

It's +1 to attack and damage rolls as far as I know. Where hit/attack roll often is the most noticable one.

Reading this thread I'm starting to be a bit uncertain about the dmg part though.

Because it's a attack roll, you roll a d20 and add modifiers to beat their AC.
In tabletop you rarly got the luxury of % chance to hit.

It's a D&D thing.

+1 attack deals +1 damage as well, and +1 to your dice rolls.

Also, if you're new, keep in mind that all melee attacks use your str modifier for both hit chance and damage, unless the weapon has finesse, then you can use dex instead if dex is higher than str.

Normally you'd think dex means accuracy and str means damage, but that isn't the case.

As confirmed by posts after mine. It's +1 Damage AND +1 to your Attack roll (increases your hit chance).
