Hit to crit
Do bonuses like that (hit to crit and graze to hit on weapons, hit to graze on armor, etc) do the same thing as accuracy/deflection but without affecting the third possible outcome?

I.e. let's say originally the enemy
grazes on a roll of 1-25,
hits on 26-75, and
crits on 76-00.

Would 10% crit to hit bracers make it:
1-25 graze,
26-85 hit, and
86-00 crit?

Or is there a more complicated calculation in place?

just a simple google yielded your answer, https://pillarsofeternity2.wiki.fextralife.com/Critical+Hit. also crit is multiplicative not additive.

That doesn't really tell me much.

So 10% hit to crit adds only 2.5% extra crit to a 25% crit chance, while 10 accuracy adds flat 10%?

This article does not address my question in any shape or form.

But thanks for letting me know you know how to Google.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the level of retardation in this one is too high.

I linked you the formula. It's right there. How crit affects accuracy and deflection. It's right there.

True.

You get granted an extra roll:

Retardation is abound indeed.

I never asked about how deflection or accuracy works on crit.

I was asking about the effect of hit to crit (and similar) percentage bonuses on gear and how they compare to flat deflection and accuracy modifiers.

Can't make my question any simpler, sorry.

You know what... I'm done. I just can't. I can't be bothered to explain. Let Dmar explain this to you. What he linked you is what I linked to you too albeit more comprehensive.

So, a 10% hit to crit bonus really means "10% of hits you deal get converted to crits".

Thanks for the link.

I been wondering the same thing , it really should be explained in game.

They have vastly improved the info presented in game over time but some of it i have no idea if its good or not. Accuracy and penetration and the different defences etc... all are explained pretty well in game now.

things like 'hits to crits' and 'grazes to misses' they have just left unexplained in game.
