Jesus this game cheats BAD

[StevenT475]

I find it amazing that every turn there is at least one enemy who gets a crit. Hell more often than not one enemy gets 2-3 crits a turn. And always roll high when it comes to damage rolls.

Meanwhile I constantly miss 95% hits. Roll multiple nat 1s every encounter. And always roll low on damage rolls.

Fix this crap.

Man, I feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with you in real life; you seem like a real winner. Reflect on these after you receive that nice community message champ.

No they aren't. Record it happening then. Show us your enemies "critting 4 or 5 times per turn". Otherwise it's just painfully obvious that you're making things up because you're pissed you got your ass kicked in game lol.

What am I doing wrong then ? Everything is locked between 45 and 65%, I can get slightly better odds if I have higher ground (but a lot of fights are set-up so the enemy starts above anyway), and that's about it.

And why is shadowheart supposed to have lower accuracy ?

Try to get hit boosts - magic weapons, main attack stat, cast bless (this is HUGE), try to get advantage, etc.

65% isn't unreasonable early on, but things get better

Shadowheart has some terrible combat stats so the joke was that she's usually the least likely person to hit anything in the party

Oh, also to add, maces and the like can help with tenacity. They do some guaranteed damage on a miss.

So does throwing objects from higher up, which is honestly kinda broken.

Grenades and scrolls definitely don't look like they're illimited, I could swear they're one-time use.

Yes, of course they're one-time use, but you can use them when you don't have spell slots or you've used up your other short-rest/long-rest crap. And there are so, so many in the world. Use them. Us your potions. Use your elixirs. You are given all the tools you need.

Ok so if the answer is "use items" you basically confirm the the basic combat system is all coinflips and there's no tactics involved the way DOS2 or most tacticals not based on DnD would do it. Even X-com gives you ways to improve your odds

BG3 is what X-com would be if full cover was given to every single enemy character at every turn

Odds are a over the lift time. There are time that pattern can happen in a true random system.

im impressed youre getting 95 to hit.

...this isn't really relevant. That would be something like your attacks 1000, 1001, 1002 having the same rolls as 1,2,3.

Though it's likely a far longer period than that anyway.

Either way it has NOTHING to do with streaks, which are perfectly normal in random numbers

You're not giving yourself Advantage. It's when you see a green number as the accuracy. There's lots of ways to get it, the two most common ones being attacking from Stealth and ganging up on the enemy by placing two characters in melee range of the same opponent.

Because her stats are awful, she has low Strength and Dexterity and her Firebolt cantrip scales on Intelligence.

My point is that it is not impossible for one enemy gets 2-3 crits a turn. You need to look at it over a long time to see.

[Plake]

What a pile of nonsense! Nobody, that played this game for more than 5 minutes, believes a word of OP's brainfarts...

When are you fixIng the crap between your ears OP?

Ahhh okay, yeah. People can see patterns in random numbers for sure. Sorry about my response that was kinda...unrelated to what you meant lol

No, the answer is use everything. You clearly didn't read what I said. There plenty of ways to improve your odds. Most Advantage, but certain feats, spells, class abilities.

I heard a stories about a man that can tell if a list of number are random or human made because of the lack of patterns in the human made list.

Oh yeah I quickly benched they gay thief so stealth wasn't really an option, didn't know about the sandwich thing though, can't say I've seen this written in-game

Strength and dex both improve accuracy ? Wouldn't that screw mages over ?
Is there a way to fix shadowheart, or is she inherently a weaker priest than, say, a custom character priest ?

Advantage is easily the number one way to improve odds that I see people not using. There's no way you have 65% odds if you have Advantage. My odds with Advantage are 96%-99%. Bless helps too when the enemy is better armored but it's not needed for every fight. Advantage -is- needed and people are handicapping themselves by not using it.
