====== Accuracy ======

==== Overview ====
**Accuracy** in Remixed Dungeon represents the chance to successfully hit an enemy with an attack. It is a crucial combat mechanic that determines whether your attacks land or miss.

==== How Accuracy Works ====
Accuracy is calculated based on:
  * **Attacker's Attack Skill** - Base attack skill plus the character's level
  * **Defender's Defense Skill** - The target's evasion value
  * **Weapon Accuracy Factor** - Encumbrance of equipped weapons relative to the wielder's Strength
  * **Buffs/Debuffs** - Effects like Bless, Fury, etc. that modify attack or defense skill

The actual hit check (see ''CharUtils.hit()'') compares two random rolls:
<code>
hit = Random.Float(attackSkill) >= Random.Float(defenseSkill)
</code>

The attack skill is computed in ''Char.attackSkill()'' as:
<code>
attackSkill = (baseAttackSkill + lvl) * 1.4 ^ buffBonus * weaponAccuracyFactor
</code> where ''weaponAccuracyFactor'' decreases when wielding weapons too heavy for the character's Strength. Attacks with a ranged weapon at point-blank range (distance 1) are only half as accurate.

==== Factors Affecting Accuracy ====
  * **Character Level**: Higher level increases attack skill
  * **Base Attack Skill**: Class-specific base value (heroes start with a base attack skill of 10)
  * **Weapon Encumbrance**: Weapons requiring more Strength than the character has reduce accuracy
  * **Rings**: [[en:rpd:ring_of_accuracy_item|Ring of Accuracy]] provides an attack skill bonus through buffs

==== Accuracy vs. Evasion ====
  * **Accuracy**: Attacker's ability to hit
  * **Evasion**: Defender's ability to avoid being hit (represented by Defense Skill)
  * High defense skill enemies (bosses, armored foes) are harder to hit
  * Flying enemies may have additional evasion bonuses

==== Improving Accuracy ====
  * Level up to increase attack skill
  * Use the **[[en:rpd:ring_of_accuracy_item|Ring of Accuracy]]** for a direct attack skill bonus
  * Keep your weapon's Strength requirement within your effective Strength to avoid encumbrance
  * Gain buffs that provide an attack skill bonus (e.g. the Blessed buff)

==== Related Mechanics ====
  * **Critical Hits**: When the attacker's accuracy roll exceeds twice the defender's evasion roll, damage is increased by 50% (see ''Char.checkCriticalHit()'')
  * **Miss**: When the accuracy check fails, attack misses entirely
  * **[[en:rpd:evasion_mechanic|Evasion]]**: The defensive counterpart of accuracy
