* −2 if throwing or kicking an item that is neither a throwing weapon nor ammo.
* A bonus or penalty from −4 to +3 ([[#Weapon skill bonus|see table]]), depending on your [[skill]] with the thrown item, unless you throw ammo without wielding the appropriate launcher.

== Spells ==

Spells to-hit calculation is quite different. For ray spells, your to-hit bonus must exceed the result of 4 ''minus'' 1d20.

The calculation of the to-hit bonus is simple:

* A bonus or penalty from −4 to +3 ([[#Spell skill bonus|see table]]), depending on your [[skill]] with the spell school.{{refsrc|zap.c|2540|comment=skill bonus}}
* A bonus based on your dexterity (see [[#Dexterity bonus|dexterity table]]).{{refsrc|zap.c|2548|comment=spell dexterity bonus}}
* If the monster's AC is non-negative, add the monster's AC.
* If the monster's AC is negative, add a random number between −1 and its AC.

Non-ray spells work differently. {{spell of|Force bolt}} will hit if the roll of a d20 is lower than (10 + target's AC), with no modification for dexterity or skill. Other beam and non-directional spells will always hit, but may be [[Magic resistance (monster)|resisted]].
